5G Potentially Accelerates Industry Transformation in Indonesia

5G technology is considered to represent the evolution of major cellular technologies that can open up new possibilities and applications. The 5G network is considered to play a leading role in digital transformation in Indonesia.

Arief Musta'in, Director & Chief Innovation Officer of Indosat Ooredoo sees 5G as having the potential to accelerate digital transformation in various industries in Indonesia. The 5G network can empower consumers with innovative applications.

"5G readiness is embedded in our vision in an effort to build a competitive quality video network," Arief said in Jakarta recently.

Indosat Ooredoo is working with Ericsson to proudly demonstrate a demonstration of a 5G usage case, especially the first 3D Augmented Reality experience in Indonesia. This will enable innovation in various industries, such as education and health care.

This collaboration is also in order to celebrate the 51st anniversary of Indosat Ooredo. The two companies highlight two main demos, the test bed for 5G and 3D-AR (Augmented Reality).

The 5G test bed speed reaches 10 Gb ps per EU (User Equipment) of a total of 20 Gb ps, which means it is much faster than LTE. The 5G test bed also has a beam tracking as one of the superior capabilities of 5G which enables higher capacity and performance.

In addition, this technology also allows streaming 4K videos to the EU via 5G radio. Meanwhile, 3D-AR (Augmented Reality) presents experience and deep interactivity with virtual objects. The 3D-AR demo brings participants to see and interact with virtual objects that look alive like photorealistic human anatomy and 360-degree images of planet Earth.

This in-depth experience is carried out in real-time to a wider audience through 5G. Augmented Reality has the potential that is suitable for use cases in companies and their application to consumers. Examples of industries that will benefit from Augmented Reality, according to him, include service industries that provide remote assistance, health care, education and retail.

In addition to displaying 5G test beds and 3D-AR, both Indosat Ooredoo and Ericsson also present other demos, such as; 5G deployment considerations and connected drones that can be tested from a longer distance or with a predetermined flight path.

To do that, reliable low-frequency 5G wireless connectivity is required. In this demo, nano drones fly over the city-3D model. There is also LAA, which is a solution for high-capacity hotspots (for example in airports, stadiums, shopping centers), which use the unlicense spectrum to increase additional speed / capacity for LTE and the possibility of coexistence with WiFi. The last in the demo is NB-IoT which will be used for various use cases by Indosat Ooredoo.

Jerry Soper, President Director of Ericsson Indonesia, believes that 5G will play a leading role in digital transformation in Indonesia. Ericsson works with Indosat Ooredoo to improve network and technology for customers.

"We hope that this demonstration will provide a clear picture of the benefits of 5G for our lives, and how Ericsson and Indosat Ooredoo will continue to work together to bring our best capabilities to improve network quality in Indonesia," he said.
