Ericsson and Indosat partner for 4G/LTE network transformation in Indonesia
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Indosat customers to benefit from better quality, faster download speeds,
more stable connections and more responsive applications
* Network transformation to create more energy-efficient and cost-effective
network for Indosat
* Agreement covers 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE network technology, implementation
services and network performance optimization
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) and Indosat, a member of Ooredoo Group and one of
Indonesia's leading telecommunication and information operators, have further
strengthened their partnership with a new agreement to deploy 4G/LTE network in
Greater Jakarta.
The partnership covers 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE network technology, implementation
services and network performance optimization. The solution works seamlessly
with the existing 2G and 3G networks already supplied by Ericsson.
The equipment to be supplied is from the Ericsson RBS 6000 base station family
that enables energy-efficient and cost-effective operations. The optimization of
the networks will further support Indosat to capture the ever-increasing demand
of mobile broadband in Indonesia.
Alexander Rusli, CEO and President Director of Indosat, says: "We're excited to
work with Ericsson on this journey to bring the latest 4G/LTE technology to our
customers. This technology means faster speeds, more responsive applications,
greater efficiency and more stable connections. The upgrade helps our customers
to enjoy a superior experience using our network, while also better positioning
us to serve our country's need for a strong data network."
Thomas Jul, Head of Ericsson Indonesia and Timor-Leste, says: "We are pleased to
partner with Indosat to bring Ericsson's 4G/LTE solutions in Indonesia. Our
consumer studies in Indonesia show that network performance is the main
consideration for mobile phone users' loyalty. With the introduction of 4G/LTE
and continuous optimizations of Indosat's networks, customers will notice faster
speeds - especially how quickly new connections are established, how fast web
pages load and how much more responsive applications feel."
Ericsson is today present in all high traffic LTE markets including the US,
Japan, and South Korea, and is ranked first for handling the most global LTE
traffic - 40 percent of the world's mobile traffic is carried over Ericsson
networks. Ericsson is number one in LTE market share within the world's top 100
cities. More than 230 LTE RAN and evolved Packet Core networks have been
delivered worldwide, of which 170 are live commercially.
