Ericsson Launches AI-Based RAN Software for Indonesia's 5G Expansion

Network technology provider Ericsson has launched radio devices and artificial intelligence (AI)-based Radio Access Network (RAN) software to help mobile operators in Indonesia build smarter, more efficient, and future-ready 5G networks.

Ericsson Indonesia’s President Director, Nora Wahby, stated that with the acceleration of 5G expansion in the country, the primary priority now is not just speed, but network intelligence and sustainability.

“By bringing AI capabilities directly to the Radio Access Network, we enable the formation of high-performance networks that are adaptive and more efficient in energy use,” said Nora Wahby in her official statement on Tuesday (17/3/2026).

Ericsson’s latest portfolio includes ten AI-ready radio devices, enhanced RAN software capabilities, and five high-performance antennas. This innovation is specifically designed to optimise spectrum utilisation and improve uplink performance.

With this integration, operators can manage data traffic more dynamically and drive operational efficiency. This step also prepares a strong foundation to support the next wave of 5G innovations across various industrial sectors.

This technological advancement will directly impact user experiences through more reliable connectivity. Users can enjoy seamless video streaming, smoother mobile gaming experiences, and more responsive real-time AI-based applications.

From a business perspective, connectivity differentiated by latency and speed opens opportunities for operators to offer more diverse services. This enables the creation of new monetisation models tailored to the specific needs of consumer segments and corporate (B2B) clients.

“AI-ready RAN is no longer just a network evolution, but a transformation in how networks are built and operated. Our latest portfolio addresses the needs for a more measured and cost-efficient 5G expansion,” Nora concluded.
