Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison joins forces with Nokia to decrease energy consumption and boost AI-driven, eco-friendly operations
In a significant move towards sustainability, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, an Indonesian digital telecommunications company, has deployed Nokia's Energy Efficiency solution to reduce energy demand and carbon dioxide emissions across its nationwide radio access network.
The AI-powered solution, which analyzes real-time traffic patterns and automatically adjusts or shuts down idle radio equipment during periods of low network demand, has been a game-changer for Indosat. It also features intelligent thermal management that cuts energy required for network cooling, further lowering energy consumption.
Following a successful pilot project, the solution has been rolled out across Indosat’s entire Nokia RAN footprint in regions including Sumatra, Kalimantan, Central and East Java. Delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, it avoids large upfront capital expenditure and on-site maintenance, enabling rapid rollout while supporting greener network operations without significant operational disruptions.
Desmond Cheung, the director and chief technology officer at Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, stated that this collaboration reflects Indosat's commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable innovation. Henrique Vale, the VP for cloud and network services APAC at Nokia, expressed satisfaction in helping Indosat achieve its sustainability and environmental responsibility goals.
Indosat's commitment to sustainability has already earned it regional recognition, as it was the first operator in Southeast Asia to achieve ISO 50001 certification for energy management. The company's broader transformation journey towards becoming an AI TechCo, powered by intelligent technologies, cloud-based platforms, and a commitment to sustainability, is well underway.
Nokia's Energy Efficiency solution is part of its Autonomous Networks portfolio, which includes the Autonomous Networks Fabric solution. This unifying intelligence layer weaves together observability, analytics, security, and automation across every network domain, allowing a network to behave as one adaptive system, regardless of vendor, architecture, or deployment model.
In conclusion, Nokia’s Energy Efficiency solution has enabled Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison to cut both its energy consumption and associated carbon dioxide emissions effectively through AI-driven automation and intelligent cooling management, marking a critical step in Indosat’s transformation into an AI-powered, sustainable telecom operator.
