01Situation
Indonesia's universal internet access target required a systematic way to prioritize where new Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) should be deployed.
02Approach
Contributed to a machine learning framework integrating environmental suitability, infrastructure readiness, fiber optic proximity, and internet demand to prioritize BTS development.
03Finding
Combining spatial suitability with projected demand produced a practical decision framework for identifying high-priority infrastructure investment areas.
04Outcome
Published in Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, providing a transferable framework for equitable digital infrastructure planning.
