PT Infra Fiber Teknologi (IFT), a joint venture between Arsari Group and Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (Indosat or IOH), yesterday launched RAIA Grid, an AI-powered digital infrastructure platform spanning 86,000 kilometres across Indonesia. The grid is designed to become a digital superhighway for Indonesia, spanning connectivity from 5G and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) to data center-to-data center (DC-to-DC) connections.
Through its open-access model, RAIA Grid’s AI-powered infrastructure will serve telecommunications operators, data centers, cloud providers, hyperscalers and enterprises, creating infrastructure pathways that allow data and digital services to move efficiently across the country, according to the firm’s press release.
Hashim Djojohadikusumo, Founder and Chairman of Arsari Group, said: “What we build today will shape what Indonesia can achieve tomorrow. RAIA Grid is part of a long-term commitment to strengthen Indonesia’s digital capabilities by building the infrastructure, knowledge and talent needed to shape our own AI future.”
Hendri Mulya Syam, President Director of RAIA Grid, said: “RAIA Grid is built with a clear strategic ambition: to become the digital superhighway connecting Indonesia’s increasingly complex digital ecosystem, from data center to data center, and ultimately connecting Indonesia to the world. We are creating the infrastructure layer that enables compute, data and intelligence to move seamlessly at scale, turning connectivity into a strategic advantage for Indonesia’s digital future.”
Vikram Sinha, President Director and Chief Executive Officer of Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, said: “The opportunity ahead is bigger than connectivity. RAIA Grid is building the highway that connects data centers, cloud platforms, businesses and AI infrastructure, creating the foundation for a full AI stack. By bringing together RAIA Grid, Indosat and Zankore, we are connecting the critical layers needed to make AI more real, scalable and accessible across Indonesia. This convergence allows us to move beyond connecting infrastructure to connecting intelligence, creating new opportunities for businesses, industries and people.”
