Indosat Increases Capacity of Video Grade 4G Network using AI and Automation

Indosat Ooredoo announced that it has increased the capacity of its video grade 4G network to make it easier for Indonesians to stay in touch virtually with family, friends, and colleagues without leaving the house for the Eid this year.

Indosat Ooredoo consistently develops network quality and capacity throughout Indonesia to serve the telecommunication needs of the community, most of whom still carry out work and school activities from home, especially when welcoming Eid. In the past year, data traffic increased by about 50% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year. The average download speed has also increased by almost 50%.

Based on experience during the previous Ramadan and Eid periods, Indosat Ooredoo conducted special handling of areas with the highest traffic increase during Eid, such as Botabek, West Java, Central Java, East Java, and Lampung. This is done with the support of a digital operation model based on Artificial Intelligence and automation launched last year. Indosat Ooredoo is committed that the increase in telecommunication traffic, especially data, will be balanced with excellent video grade 4G network performance. It is proven that at the beginning of Ramadan, the average download speed has increased by 6%, amidst an increase in data traffic of 8% compared to regular days, said the operator.

Facing the increasing communication needs of customers, Indosat Ooredoo has built a video grade 4G network that is much faster than planned this year. More than 50% of the scheduled 2021 new sites have been completed in the first quarter. Not only that, more than 32% of network capacity expansion plans and more than 33% of fiberization plans were successfully executed in the same period.
