| Ericsson introduces AI-powered RAN for smarter, more efficient 5G networks in Indonesia, enhancing user experience with stable, high-speed connectivity. |
Jakarta, March 18, 2026 – The 5G era in Indonesia just got a major upgrade! Global network provider Ericsson has introduced radio and software Radio Access Network (RAN) equipped with Artificial Intelligence (AI). The goal? To help operators, including those in Indonesia, build 5G networks that are not only fast but also smart and energy-efficient.
Ericsson Indonesia’s President Director, Nora Wahby, said that with the acceleration of 5G expansion, the priority is no longer just speed—it’s about smarter and sustainable networks. “By integrating AI directly into the RAN, we enable adaptive, high-performance networks that use energy more efficiently. This helps operators roll out 5G faster while optimizing long-term investments,” she said in a press release in Jakarta on Tuesday.
The new portfolio is packed with features: ten AI-ready radio devices, upgraded RAN software, and five high-performance antennas designed to maximize spectrum efficiency, improve uplink performance, and simplify deployment.
With AI integrated into both hardware and software, operators can dynamically optimize network resources, manage traffic more efficiently, and boost operational efficiency. AI-driven features like smart beamforming, AI-based coverage prediction, and advanced mobility and latency management allow real-time capacity allocation based on data usage patterns.
The result? Users experience more consistent and reliable connectivity, from smoother video streaming, lag-free mobile gaming, to real-time AI-powered applications. Beyond that, differentiated connectivity based on latency, speed, or reliability creates opportunities for operators to offer new services beyond conventional data plans.
Wahby added, “As data usage grows and use cases get more complex, operators need infrastructure that can think and adapt in real-time. By integrating intelligence into radios, antennas, and software, spectrum is used more efficiently, uplink performance improves, and ultimately, users get a better experience.”
AI-ready RAN is not just an evolution—it’s a complete transformation of how networks are built and operated. With Ericsson’s latest portfolio, 5G expansion in Indonesia becomes more measured, cost-efficient, and future-ready. Get ready: Indonesia’s 5G networks are about to be faster, smarter, and ready for the digital future!
