IOH Completed Network Integration With Ericsson To Boost Telecoms Sector, Digital Economy Growth
Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH) has completed the integration of a national network that uses the Multi Operator Core Network (MOCN) technology to provide a wider reach, better indoor service quality, and faster internet experience for customers.
President director and CEO of Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, Vikram Sinha, says “Technology is the key enabler in a nation’s digitalisation, 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.”
Supported by Ericsson, IOH has completed the network integration process in the Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) area as one of the fastest network integration projects.
Head of Ericsson Indonesia, Jerry Soper, says “Ericsson is pleased to support Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (IOH) in completing the MOCN integration project. We believe this project can maximise 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.”
Ericsson used the latest technology to provide a modernised network for IOH that is fully 5G ready with reduced energy consumption and higher capacity. Other cities across Indonesia will enjoy the benefits of this network integration by the end of the first quarter of 2023. Ericsson’s 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.
“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 concludes.
