Jakarta, INTI - Ericsson has introduced a new suite of artificial intelligence powered Radio Access Network (RAN) radios and software to support the development of smarter, more efficient, and sustainable 5G networks in Indonesia.
The solution is designed to help telecommunications operators address increasingly complex future network demands.
President Director of Ericsson Indonesia, Nora Wahby, emphasized that accelerating 5G deployment requires not only speed but also intelligence and energy efficiency.
“By embedding AI capabilities directly into the Radio Access Network, we enable the creation of high-performance, adaptive networks that are more energy-efficient. This allows operators in Indonesia to accelerate network rollout while optimizing long-term investments,” Wahby stated.
The latest portfolio includes 10 radio units equipped with AI-based technology. Ericsson has also enhanced its RAN software to optimize overall network performance.
In addition, five high-performance antennas have been introduced to improve spectrum utilization and service quality.
Enhancing Network Performance and User Experience Through AI Integration
The integration of AI across both hardware and software enables more dynamic and adaptive network management. Key features include intelligent beamforming, AI-based coverage prediction, and advanced mobility and latency management.
Network capacity can also be allocated in real time based on user data consumption patterns.
This technology helps operators improve operational efficiency while optimizing data traffic management.
End users will benefit from more stable and reliable connectivity across various digital activities. Video streaming becomes smoother, and mobile gaming experiences improve with more responsive network performance.
Furthermore, the technology supports real-time AI-driven applications with enhanced performance.
Operators can deliver customized services tailored to latency, speed, and reliability requirements, opening new monetization opportunities beyond traditional data packages.
“As data usage continues to grow and use cases become more complex, operators need infrastructure that can think, adapt, and optimize in real time. By integrating intelligence into radios, antennas, and software, we enable networks to use spectrum more efficiently, enhance uplink performance, and ultimately deliver better user experiences,” she added.
Nora Wahby concluded that AI-ready RAN represents a critical transformation in network development and operations, enabling more efficient, scalable, and cost-effective 5G expansion.
Conclusion
Ericsson’s AI-powered RAN marks a significant step toward building more intelligent, adaptive, and energy-efficient 5G networks in Indonesia. By integrating AI into network infrastructure, operators can not only accelerate deployment but also unlock new service capabilities and long-term business value in an increasingly data-driven digital landscape.
