Espoo, Finland – Nokia and Indosat Ooredoo today
announced the launch of commercial 5G services in Surabaya city,
Indonesia. Under the deal, Indosat Ooredoo’s customers will
experience new enterprise and industrial use cases
underpinned by the new 5G network.
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.”
