Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH) is in the process of completing a nationwide network integration, using Multi Operator Core Network (MOCN) technology to provide wider coverage, better indoor service quality, and faster internet experience for customers.
With Ericsson’s support, IOH has managed to complete the network integration process in the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) area. Compared to its pre-integration state, IOH has now improved its indoor coverage by 20 percent, Data speed by 27 percent, and increased Data traffic by 21 percent compared to its previous state before undertaking the integration process.
Head of Ericsson Indonesia, Jerry Soper, said: “Ericsson is pleased to support Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH) in completing the MOCN integration project. We believe this project can maximize the effectiveness of the existing network infrastructure and significantly improve customer experience throughout Jabodetabek. Definitely this is also part of our efforts in supporting Indonesia’s digital transformation agenda.”
In terms of technology, Ericsson provides a modernized network for IOH that is fully 5G ready with reduced energy consumption and higher capacity. Ericsson’s latest radio equipment can support IOH with features that increase capacity while increasing site efficiency and accelerating time-to-market (TTM) of various 4G and 5G services. Furthermore, the latest baseband equipment from Ericsson enables IOH to have multi-standard capabilities to run 2G, 4G and 5G at the same time using mixed mode configuration.
President Director and CEO of Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, Vikram Sinha, commented on the cooperation: “Technology is the key enabler in a nation’s digitalization, and its advancements depend highly on the telecom industry. In line with our vision to become the most preferred digital telco of Indonesia, we at IOH are committed to continue providing a reliable network to improve customers’ digital experience. We believe that better experiences will increase people’s productivity, contribute to the nation’s digital economy’s future growth, and ultimately empower every Indonesian.”
“We appreciate the completion of this network integration in Jabodetabek, which also marks an important milestone in the strategic partnership between IOH and Ericsson. We are confident that this partnership will improve the coverage and quality of our network and deliver a marvelous experience to all our customers,” Vikram concluded.
