Ericsson launches AI software to drive 5G expansion in Indonesia
Jakarta — Telecommunications network provider Ericsson has launched radio equipment and Radio Access Network (RAN) software powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to assist operators, including those in Indonesia, in building smarter, more efficient, and future-ready 5G networks.
Ericsson Indonesia President and Chief Executive Nora Wahby stated that as 5G expansion accelerates across Indonesia, fast networks alone are no longer the sole priority—networks must also be smarter and sustainable.
“By bringing AI capabilities directly to the Radio Access Network, we enable the development of high-performing networks that are adaptive and more efficient in energy consumption, helping Indonesian operators accelerate network deployment whilst optimising long-term investments,” Wahby said in a press statement received in Jakarta on Tuesday.
By integrating AI capabilities into both hardware and software layers, operators can optimise network resources more dynamically, improve traffic management, and drive operational efficiency. This simultaneously prepares infrastructure to support the next wave of 5G innovation.
AI-based features such as intelligent beamforming, AI-powered network coverage prediction, and advanced mobility and latency management enable real-time network capacity allocation based on data usage patterns.
These technological advances will benefit end users by delivering more consistent and reliable connectivity, ranging from smoother video streaming and improved mobile gaming experiences to AI-based real-time applications.
Furthermore, connectivity differentiation based on latency, speed, or reliability levels opens opportunities for operators to deliver more varied services tailored to consumer and corporate segment needs. This simultaneously creates new monetisation opportunities beyond conventional data packages.
Wahby stated that AI-ready RAN is no longer merely a network evolution, but rather a transformation in how networks are built and operated. Ericsson’s latest portfolio addresses evolving needs whilst enabling more scalable and cost-efficient 5G expansion.
