The project handled by Huawei improves the network experience for Indosat’s users across Indonesia, especially those living in rural and remote areas.

Residents of Kalimantan will enjoy a faster downlink speed by 15 percent while the average round trip time (RTT) will be reduced by 11 percent for Facebook usage. Meanwhile, according to a renowned third party report, customers in Central Java are experiencing better performance while using the Internet for games and live videos.

Desmond Cheung, Chief Technology Officer of Indosat, said: “With the completion of this initiative, we can deliver a marvelous experience to our customers.”

George Gao, President of Huawei Cloud Core Network Product Line, said: “Huawei will continuously support Indosat to enhance network connectivity, accelerate service innovation, and create industry value in digital transformation, achieving greater business success.”

By adopting the telco cloud-native technology, Indosat and Huawei commercialize both bare metal container and innovative dual-engine container solution, which supports large-scale commercial use of 5G core networks.

The dual-engine container solution leverages technologies to manage both virtual machines (VMs) and containers in a unified infrastructure platform, that enables Indosat to seamlessly introduce containers through capacity expansion, significantly reducing the time needed for service rollout and reducing the time-to-market (TTM).

Indosat has increased its requirements for intelligence and ultra experience. Both Indosat and Huawei have collaborated to deploy future-proof core networks that can adapt to the 5G-A intelligent and hyper-distributed architecture.
