Indosat Ooredoo Hutch 5G expansion in Indonesia

Entities: Vikram Sinha · Indonesia · Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison · Apoorva Mehratra · HoYoverse

Overview

In late July 2026, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison secured additional 700 MHz and 2.6 GHz spectrum in Indonesia’s auction, investing hundreds of billions of rupiah. The carrier began deploying the new bands to improve indoor penetration and broaden 5G coverage, reporting the installation of over 2,900 new 5G base‑transceiver stations in Jakarta and a year‑on‑year traffic increase of 18 % in inner Jakarta during the first half of 2026.

By early August, Indosat shifted its messaging toward accelerating 5G adoption among gamers. It partnered with game developer HoYoverse for the HoYo FEST 2026 event in Jakarta, showcasing low‑latency, real‑time streaming experiences on its network. The company also announced a capital‑expenditure boost to Rp 23 trillion, reinforcing its commitment to expand 5G services nationwide.
