Facebook assists partners by providing a comprehensive Wi-Fi platform that partners can leverage to better manage and grow their Wi-Fi offerings. Express WiFi was first present in Indonesia in several places in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park.[2][3]
After the success of the pilot project in Mount Bromo, the development of Express Wi-Fi then continued to Surabaya in 2017. The location of this location was originally motivated by D~NET headquarters in Surabaya to facilitate implementation, monitoring and development of the WiFi Express network, but in the future, Express WiFi will be available in various regions in Indonesia.
