Nokia has reinforced its commitment to Indonesia’s digital transformation by deploying mission-critical communications infrastructure designed to connect the country’s vast and diverse archipelago.

Indonesia’s thousands of islands, varied geography, and frequent natural disasters present unique challenges in building a resilient and secure network. From Papua to Kalimantan, Nokia’s solutions help industries, enterprises, government agencies, and service providers operate more securely and efficiently.

The company is supporting national connectivity efforts, including the Palapa Ring project and the expansion of fiber and telecom towers, through its Mission-Critical Wide Area Network (WAN) solutions powered by the 7705 Service Aggregation Router (SAR) family.

“Our mission-critical WAN solutions are designed to ensure secure, scalable, and reliable communication even in the most remote regions,” said Ming Kin Ngiam, Head of SEA South, Network Infrastructure Sales, Nokia. “By extending digital inclusion to underserved areas, we unlock new opportunities for communities, businesses, and industries across the country.”

Enhancing Public Safety and Emergency Response Systems

During natural disasters, reliable communication is vital for frontline responders. Nokia’s Mission-Critical Broadband for Public Safety delivers high bandwidth, low latency, and the flexibility to share real-time data from drones, CCTV, sensors, and push-to-video radios.

“Disaster resilience depends on communication that is fast, clear, and coordinated,” Ngiam added. “With programmable backhaul and IP/MPLS solutions, public safety agencies can prioritize critical data in emergencies, enabling faster, smarter response and saving more lives.”

Modernizing Indonesia’s Energy Networks

As electrification increases and renewable energy adoption accelerates, PLN and other energy providers face the need to modernize their grid systems. Nokia’s Mission-Critical WAN for Power Utilities enables secure, real-time monitoring and automation of energy networks, supporting both legacy systems and modern IP-based applications.

“Energy networks are the backbone of national development,” Ngiam explained. “By modernizing network communications with mission-critical WAN, PLN and other utilities can strengthen resilience, integrate more renewable energy, and maintain stable power across the archipelago.”

Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Future Cyber Threats

With physical and cyber threats on the rise, Nokia is addressing security concerns through its quantum-safe optical networking. This end-to-end solution protects data from current cyberattacks and prepares for future threats in the era of quantum computing.

“Security is at the heart of everything we build,” said Ngiam. “Our quantum-safe network gives operators the confidence that their critical infrastructure is protected — not just for today, but for the future.”
