In 2018, PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk (TLKM) owned 189,000 Base Transceiver Stations (BTS), the highest number among the four other operators. Telkomsel's BTS were divided into three categories: 50,300 units of 2G, 82,100 units of 3G, and 56,700 units of 4G. Its closest competitor, PT XL Axiata Tbk (EXCL), was in second place with 118,600 BTS. This figure represents a 17.31% increase compared to 2017, which stood at 101,000 units.

Meanwhile, PT Indosat Tbk (ISAT) and Smartfren Telecom Tbk (FREN) had 74,900 and 19,000 BTS respectively in 2018. This represents a 28.6% increase for FREN and a 22.1% increase for ISAT compared to 2017. The total number of BTS across the four operators was 401,640 units, an 18.8% increase compared to 2017's 337,900 units.

Recent news indicates that Telkom plans to acquire Indosat's BTS towers. Telkom will purchase the towers through a tender process for 3,000 of Indosat's BTS towers. These BTS towers, currently being auctioned by Indosat, were previously used by Indosat and are not new locations (greenfield sites).
