Indosat Deploys Nokia AI to Cut Nationwide Network Energy Use

Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, a leading Indonesian digital telecommunications company, has partnered with Nokia to deploy Nokia Energy Efficiency, an AI-driven solution designed to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions across its nationwide radio access network (RAN). This solution uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze real-time traffic patterns, automatically idling or shutting down unused radio equipment during low-demand periods, while also employing intelligent thermal management to reduce cooling energy needs. Offered via a software-as-a-service model, it allows rapid deployment without large upfront costs or on-site maintenance, supporting Indosat's strategic transformation into an AI-powered TechCo focused on sustainability and operational agility. Indosat was the first Southeast Asian operator to achieve ISO 50001 certification for energy management, underscoring its environmental leadership. Nokia’s ongoing R&D and commitment to sustainability complement Indosat’s goals to enhance network performance while reducing its carbon footprint. This collaboration reflects a broader industry trend toward embedding automation and intelligence in network operations to improve efficiency and environmental responsibility.
