Collaborative Efforts for the Establishment of Modern Connectivity in Indonesia
Navigating through the digital era, the significance of digital and modern connectivity cannot be overstated. Internet connection plays a pivotal role not only in facilitating communication but also in bolstering connectivity to physical infrastructure. Huawei is concentrating on expediting the adoption of 5G as a focal point in supporting the digital transformation across numerous countries.
Huawei’s expertise in 5G technology has been instrumental in constructing 5G networks in the top 10 cities globally, attaining exceptional network connection speeds. Moreover, Huawei has forged partnerships with 400 mobile operators worldwide to deliver data storage products and intelligent solutions grounded in 5G. The development of Huawei’s 5G connectivity has emerged as the lifeblood for 700 smart cities spanning over 100 countries and regions.
In Indonesia, Huawei, in collaboration with Mastel and Telkomsel, has recently joined forces to establish a 5G network at Solo Technopark. This collaborative initiative for 5G network development at Solo Technopark coincided with a high-level conference that engaged the entire digital ecosystem in the country. The conference aimed to explore integrated 5G live use cases while delving into the latest global developments in terms of network implementation, user expansion, ecosystem development, digital experiences, industrial applications, and business value.
Beyond the 5G network, Huawei is actively contributing to the Whoosh High-Speed Train network to create modern connectivity for urban communities in Jakarta and Bandung. This comprehensive support serves as a 360-degree use case, vividly illustrating Huawei’s substantial contribution to government infrastructure expansion, capable of generating a multiplier effect for the national economy.
In the Whoosh Fast Train project, Huawei collaborated with China Railway Signal and Communications (CRSC) to establish a wireless technology communication network operating at a frequency of 900 MHz, a signal transmission system, and a data center. These efforts aim to underpin the operations of the Whoosh Fast Train, covering a track length of 142.3 kilometers.

In addition, Huawei Cloud plans to launch three more in Manila in December this year. By then, Huawei Cloud will have 21 data center AZs in Southeast Asia, the highest number among cloud service providers.
Collaborative Efforts of Huawei, Government, and Education Sector Drive Successful Digital Transformation
In response to the imperative need for digital transformation in every country, including Indonesia, Huawei has taken proactive steps to enhance collaboration with government and educational institutions. The objective is to cultivate digital talents who will play a crucial role as users of ICT solutions in the increasingly technology-centric public sphere.
Over the past year, Huawei Indonesia has engaged in partnerships with various government entities, including the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology, the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection, the State Cyber and Encryption Agency (BSSN), the National Resilience Institute (Lemhannas), and the Presidential Staff Office. The focus of these collaborations is to augment the capacity and competence of digital talents, ensuring readiness for the digital era 5.0 and the ability to counter potential cyber threats.
In pursuit of inclusive technology access, Huawei is dedicated to extending connectivity to remote areas, thereby fostering digital equality. This initiative is complemented by efforts to enhance the capacity and digital literacy of Indonesian human resources.
In the realm of digital talent development, Huawei adheres to the ‘I Do’ commitment, aiming to create 100 thousand digital-ready Indonesians through various training and certification programs by 2025. Currently, Huawei has successfully trained over 93 thousand individuals. Mr. Long expressed optimism about reaching the target of 100 thousand digital talents one year ahead of schedule.
Huawei’s Unwavering Commitment for Green Technology Implementation
