Indosat Ooredoo announced its partnership with Huawei as one of its partners to build a 5G-ready transport network in Indonesia powered by Segment routing IPv6 (SRv6).
Huawei, the #1 telecom equipment maker, will deploy the network in the key areas of Jabodetabek, Surabaya and the rest of East Java & Bali.
Indosat Ooredoo recently said its revenues rose 6 percent to QAR 5.1 billion during the first nine months of 2020, supported by strong mobile revenue.
Indosat Ooredoo’s strong top line performance led to EBITDA growth of 11 percent for the nine-month period, as the company increased efficiency and optimised costs. EBITDA margins rose to 46 percent compared 44 percent.
Indosat Ooredoo’s customer base grew by 3 percent to 60.4 million, supported by the company’s robust digital channels and by its leading network infrastructure.
Indosat Ooredoo decided to deploy SRv6 IP solution after evaluating several other options. Huawei provides the SRv6 intelligent routing function which allows for deterministic paths and committed latency.
Asia Pacific’s first SRv6-based 5G-ready transport network can bring value and enhance our customers experience for digital services especially for latency sensitive and real time applications, Medhat Elhusseiny, chief technology and information officer of Indosat Ooredoo, said.
Andy Ma, CEO of Huawei Indonesia Carrier Business, said the industry’s first committed SLA IP solution to provide premium transmission services for a variety of vertical industries in the 5G era.
