Motorola Networks has been replaced by Huawei Networks in North Sumatera. Started the Replacement in Aceh Province on June 2007, then North Sumatera Province on August, Now Huawei already expand the coverage and capacity by inserting several number of Bts in Medan Inner City, Outer City and add new coverage in towns previously unserved.

Some months after Medan, Batam Networks also has been replaced with Huawei.

In late September 2007, West Java Network also replaced with Huawei, but it will operate as a dual band (Motorola in West Java is using 1900MHz, Huawei 800MHz) until End of December 2007, at which it will be shutdown.

Based on information from Telkom staff (pak sitorus), there is possibility that the motorola network from west java will be transfered to east timor.

Now Motorola with Telkom are moving the Bts'es from Batam and North Sumatera to Riau Daratan and West Sumatera Province and to Southern Sumatera, including Jambi, Bengkulu and Lampung Province.

In the future, Motorola will only have CDMA networks in Southern Sumatera, as Telkom Planned to replace Motorola in Riau Daratan, West Sumatera and Lampung Province to Huawei in 2008.
