Nokia will supply equipment from its latest
ReefShark based AirScale product range, including its AirScale Single RAN
portfolio for both indoor and outdoor coverage. These solutions will offer
faster speeds and wider mobile coverage for Indosat Ooredoo’s customers while
cutting costs for the operator to run its network. Nokia will also deploy its
dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS) solution, which will allow Indosat Ooredoo to
use its 4G networks spectrum for 5G services, decreasing the time it takes to
get 5G up and running.
Nokia and Indosat Ooredoo, as well as
partners, Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology and the University of Oulu,
will also open the Nokia 5G Experience Centre at ITS’ facilities in Surabaya.
The site includes a Centre of Creativity designed for technology developers and
ITS students to explore and develop new 5G use cases to drive innovation and
socio-economic development in Indonesia. In addition, the facility includes a
Center of Knowledge with 5G millimeter-wave capability to simulate a live 5G
environment for testing a range of 5G uses cases. It also includes a Center of
Excellence offering professional 5G certifications and other academic programs
to support the development of local digital talent.
Indosat Ooredoo offers advanced communications
services to its customers across Indonesia, including mobile and fixed, video,
internet, and business communications services. Nokia has already worked with
the operator on several network upgrades in Indonesia, including its IP/MPLS
mobile transport network solution, as well as its LTE-Advanced network.
Ahmad Al-Neama, President Director and CEO at
Indosat Ooredoo, said: “I am deeply humbled and proud to launch Indosat
Ooredoo’s 5G services in Surabaya aligned with our commitment to being the
forefront of the 5G revolution in Indonesia. This technology will help unleash
many opportunities for the region’s education, people, and economy. As the
result of our collaboration with ITS, Nokia, and the University of Oulu
Finland, the advanced Nokia 5G Experience Center will complete the innovation
and development of local content use cases relevant to the city. With the full
supports from Government, Indosat Ooredoo continues to accelerate Indonesia’s
transformation into a digital and 5G-enabled nation.”
Prof. Dr. Ir. Mochamad Ashari, Rector of
Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology, said: “We are thrilled to be
partnering with Nokia and Indosat Ooredoo to bring 5G innovation to Indonesia
and specifically into Surabaya. Through such industry partnerships, we aim to
provide a platform for young minds to collaborate directly with industry and
business leaders and develop 5G solutions that will benefit the University and
the wider community. The launch of the 5G Experience center is in line with the
government’s agenda that would enable ITS to spearhead the advance learning and
research and provide students and faculty an opportunity to be on the forefront
of innovation.”
Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks at
Nokia, said: “We are excited to launch commercial 5G services in Indonesia with
Indosat Ooredoo as its trusted partner.
Our AirScale portfolio will deliver
best-in-class services to its subscribers and I look forward to working hand in
hand with them on this project moving forward. The opening of the Nokia 5G
Experience Center will also provide a platform to drive innovation in the
country.”
