Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison has expanded its use of Nokia’s AI-driven energy optimization solution across large portions of its radio access network (RAN), targeting significant reductions in power consumption and emissions. The deployment builds on a successful pilot and now spans Nokia’s RAN footprint in Sumatra, Kalimantan, and Central and East Java. The Nokia Energy Efficiency platform, part of the company’s Autonomous Networks portfolio, uses machine learning to automatically shut down idle or unused radio equipment during low-traffic periods and manage cooling needs more efficiently.
Delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), the platform enables quick deployment without up-front capital expenditure or ongoing on-site maintenance. Indosat’s broader goal is to become an AI-powered “TechCo” by embedding automation and intelligence across its operations, with sustainability as a key pillar. The solution can be deployed in multi-vendor environments, preserving service quality while cutting energy use.
Indosat was the first operator in Southeast Asia to earn ISO 50001 certification for energy management and is now advancing its environmental agenda with Nokia’s Autonomous Networks Fabric, which provides unified observability, analytics, and automation across the entire network. This helps reduce operational costs and enhance responsiveness in an increasingly data-driven landscape.

“As data consumption continues to grow, so does our responsibility to manage resources wisely,” said Desmond Cheung, CTO of Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison. “This collaboration reflects Indosat’s unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable innovation.”
