Jakarta, INTI – In a strategic move towards more sustainable operations, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison has partnered with global technology company Nokia to implement the Nokia Energy Efficiency solution. This innovation is part of Nokia’s Autonomous Network technology, designed to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions across Indosat’s Radio Access Network (RAN) throughout Indonesia.
The solution leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to analyze data traffic in real time, enabling the network to be dynamically optimized based on actual usage, without compromising service quality.
Lower Operational Costs Through Efficient Energy Use
Equipped with intelligent thermal management, this technology automatically regulates network equipment temperatures to reduce energy consumption. Delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, the solution minimizes capital investment and simplifies operational deployment.
By applying AI to various network components, the solution reduces both operational costs and carbon footprint, making it a sustainable choice in today’s digital transformation landscape.
Growing Data Consumption Requires Low-Emission Solutions
According to Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison’s Chief Technology Officer, Desmond Cheung, the rapid increase in data usage requires wise resource management. He stated that the partnership reflects Indosat’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.
“By leveraging AI, we’re not only improving network performance but also significantly reducing energy usage and emissions,” said Cheung, as quoted in Indosat’s official statement.
Deployment Across Multiple Regions in Indonesia
Following successful AI-based energy-saving trials, the Nokia Energy Efficiency solution is now being rolled out across Indosat’s radio networks in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Central Java, and East Java.
This wide-scale implementation represents a concrete step toward realizing a network that is not only reliable but also environmentally responsible.
Autonomous Networks: The Future of Telecommunications
Henrique Vale, Vice President for Cloud and Network Services Asia-Pacific at Nokia, emphasized that this solution is part of Nokia’s long-term vision to deliver autonomous, intelligent, and adaptive networks. Nokia’s Autonomous Network technology now utilizes Agentic AI to monitor, analyze, and optimize network performance in real time.
A key feature is the Autonomous Network Fabric, which securely and responsively integrates all network systems both hardware and software regardless of device type or vendor.
With this system, operators can respond to network issues more rapidly, manage infrastructure more efficiently, and ultimately deliver a better and more sustainable user experience.
Conclusion:
The collaboration between Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison and Nokia introduces an AI-powered network solution that is energy-efficient and low in emissions. This technology enables more efficient, automated, and eco-friendly network management, and is being implemented across various regions in Indonesia. The initiative reinforces Indosat’s commitment to becoming a sustainable AI TechCo.
