Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH) has announced a new partnership with Nokia to expand its 4G and 5G networks across Indonesia. The collaboration will see IOH deploy Nokia’s advanced multiband radio technology and baseband solutions to improve network coverage and service quality in key regions. 

IOH and Nokia will work together on several key objectives, including boosting revenue growth, improving customer retention, and optimising the network. By incorporating AI and machine learning tech, the partnership will also look to streamline network investments and enhance efficiency, particularly in high-demand areas.

The introduction of FWA is expected to improve internet access in rural and remote areas, supporting digital inclusion and driving economic development across the country. 

“By leveraging our state-of-the-art Radio Access Network solutions and AI-driven capabilities, we are empowering IOH to build a robust, future-ready network. This deal not only reinforces our leadership in the 4G and 5G space but also deepens our commitment to supporting Indonesia’s digital transformation and growing mobile ecosystem,” said Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia in a press release.
