JAKARTA - PT Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison Tbk (ISAT) stated that it is open to all collaboration opportunities. One of them is in the fisheries and defense sector.

This was stated by the President Director and CEO of PT Indosat Tbk (Indosat / Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison / IOH) Where Sinha answered a statement regarding how to respond to the new player in the telecommunications industry, Starlink, who recently officially operates in Indonesia.

"Of course there are many opportunities (to collaborate), whether for defense, whether for fisheries. So, this is good news and it will be a good opportunity to collaborate and see how we can serve more people and help them wherever they need that connectivity. I think we should understand that this is not a competition, "he said quoting Antara.

His party emphasized that new players who rely on satellites to provide internet access will help accelerate the areas behind, Outermost, and Frontier (3T).

Indosat is said to be exploring opportunities for business-to-business (B2B) cooperation with a number of companies to provide appropriate service to customers, such as users in the industrial sector, in order to empower the Indonesian people.

The potential partnership is not only with Starlink, but also with OneWeb and various other satellite providers who have Low Earth Orbit (LEO) technology.

"We would be very happy to use orbital satellitelows to help us also connect unconnected ones at the price we want", saidTEN.

Until now, Indosat has been declared to continue its commitment to expand the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) 4G network, as well as increase the distribution coverage of products and services through Mini Outlets IM3 and 3 Kiosks to various rural areas, including in eastern Indonesia.

To support the transformation into AI Native TechCo, Indosat will always invest in technology-based human resource development, improve service quality, and expand connectivity.

This effort is supported by Indosat's strategic partnership through its subsidiary with NVIDIA as the first Cloud Partner Provider in Indonesia, as well as the initiative to empower women as well as Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
