Nokia and Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison collaborate to enhance Indonesia’s 5G network and unlock AI-enabled services
- Agreement supports low-and mid-band 5G rollout across Indosat’s network, serving customers nationwide
- Partnership accelerates new AI-driven services, digital experiences and sustainable growth across Indonesia
- AI-ready 5G network will enable AI-RAN architecture and AI Grid deployment in collaboration with NVIDIA, bringing AI and connectivity closer to every Indonesian
Espoo, Finland – Nokia and Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (Indosat or IOH) announced a partnership to modernize Indosat’s nationwide mobile network in Indonesia through the deployment of advanced 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) technologies. As a key technology partner, Nokia will support the rollout of low- and mid-band 5G to help build high-performance, AI-ready networks designed to deliver a more seamless, reliable, and responsive digital experience for customers.
More than a network upgrade, this collaboration reflects a shared ambition to bring customers closer to the digital experiences that matter most to them, from immersive entertainment and gaming to more reliable connectivity for work, learning, communication, and everyday digital activities. A stronger and more flexible network foundation will enable Indosat to serve customers better by anticipating their evolving digital needs while creating experiences that are more meaningful.
The deployment will enhance network capacity, performance, and coverage across Indonesia, while supporting Indosat’s long-term ambition to expand digital access more inclusively nationwide. The upgraded network will also enable advanced consumer and enterprise use cases across key sectors, including public services, industry, and digital services.
Unlocking AI-enabled services with NVIDIA
These joint activities will not only connect Indonesia but also build the digital infrastructure for the country’s next phase of growth. This agreement reflects a shared mission to turn
connectivity into a platform for intelligence. AI-RAN provides the common architecture for combining connectivity and intelligence, and Nokia’s roadmap is built on that foundation with NVIDIA. With
Nokia and NVIDIA already working with Indosat on AI-RAN, the companies are on track for the next milestone: moving from the first AI-RAN call completed at Mobile World Congress 2026 to field trials
in Indonesia by the end of 2026. The collaboration will also support Nokia’s work on new AI algorithms designed to improve spectral efficiency on NVIDIA AI-RAN platforms, with those capabilities
expected to be part of the upcoming field trials.
