GSM, Asia, Indonesia: One of the largest network operators in Indonesia, Indosat, has chosen Nokia to expand its GSM network in Bali and Java.
The core network will use radio network and circuit and packet switching. Although excluding Jabotabek (Jakarta and surrounding areas), Nokia will also supply cellular transmission for East Java. The expansion will enhance Indosat's service coverage and provide a network ready for future technology upgrades. Part of the expansion has been concluded as part of a three-year framework agreement signed by Nokia and Indosat in June. Nokia has already started to deliver its NetAct network and service management system, a s well as network planning, implementation and optimisation services. * Indosat is one of the largest cellular players in Indonesia with total subscribers of 12.7 million as of September 30, 2005.
