Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH), an Indonesian telecommunication provider, has announced its strategic Content Delivery Network (CDN) partnership with Edgio, Inc., formerly known as Limelight Networks, Inc., with its vision to become the most preferred digital telco of Indonesia.
IOH is utilizing the strength of Edgio’s industry global CDN services to offer its users improved streaming speed and connection.
The widespread use of the internet and the unrestricted growth of online entertainment alternatives over the past few years have resulted in Indonesians consuming more than 3.5 billion hours of over-the-top (OTT) content per month.
Although the future for relevant industries is much improved by this growing demand, it also brings to the forefront a significant technical issue that requires industry players to start addressing their content delivery strategy seriously.
According to Sanjeev Rawat, Chief Digital Officer of Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, IOH is dedicated to connecting and empowering every Indonesian while providing top-notch digital experiences.
Thus, they are thrilled to deepen their strategic alliance with prominent international players, this time with Edgio. IOH users will not only be able to enjoy their content with the fewest interruptions at the highest quality but also securely thanks to their world-lowest latency CDN, which is powered by over 300 global PoPs, a global capacity of more than 250 Tbps, and a server that is monitored round-the-clock with built-in WAF, DDoS protections, and TLS/SSL encryption.
By establishing new Points of Presence (PoPs) in three of IOH’s data centers, which are situated in Jakarta, Surabaya, and Medan, Edgio will be working to further strengthen IOH’s CDN capabilities in Indonesia.
In addition to adding to Edgio’s current worldwide network of over 300 PoPs, these hyperlocal PoPs will also help the telecom provider’s coverage grow and enable a performance leap.
According to Edwin Koh, Regional Director, SEA at Edgio, the quality of CDNs has never been more important to businesses, especially telecommunication providers, as delivery speed becomes a more significant factor in determining user satisfaction.
IOH will benefit from Edgio’s considerable experience in providing the top experiences for the world’s leading brands, enabling them to realize their aim of becoming the most preferred digital telecom in Indonesia with an outstanding experience.
