How Indosat is scaling AI-RAN across its network

Indosat is expanding its use of AI-driven Radio Access Network (AI-RAN) technology across its mobile network, positioning the project as a reference model for operators under pressure to squeeze more value from 4G and 5G investments. By consolidating hardware and applying AI to manage radio resources, Indosat aims to cut capital spending, run its infrastructure more efficiently, and support new service models.

The rollout follows a commitment announced with Nokia at Mobile World Congress. For other telecom operators, Indosat’s deployment offers a live case study in how AI-led RAN optimisation and hardware consolidation can be used to improve return on recent network upgrades while preparing for future demand.
