Indonesian communications services provider Indosat has responded to unprecedented subscriber growth in its mobile network with the deployment of a mobile softswitching solution that will allow it to meet future capacity demands and offer customers reliability and added-value services.
Indosat has taken a first step towards an all-IP environment with the deployment of Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) mobile softswitch solution, that will also expand network coverage and capacity, and ensure optimal network quality. NSN says the softswitch also brings additional benefits, such as the ability to widen network coverage, utilize IP backhaul, and create a call-prioritization feature for high value customers.
Indosat acknowledges and continuously strives to address the challenge of improving our services for our loyal customers, says Indosat President Director, Johnny Swandi Sjam. We believe that with Nokia Siemens Networks, renowned for their efficient and reliable solutions, as our partner, we can meet this challenge. 
To ensure network efficiency and stability, NSN will also provide a broad range of additional services, including replacement and relocation of old equipment, network design, new equipment implementation and project management, as well as training and maintenance for all products and solutions included in the deal.
NSN has developed a strong track record in mobile softswitching, with close to 200 customers for its mobile softswitching solution, and over 120 live networks. The softswitching contract extension deal cements NSNs position as Indosats leading infrastructure vendor.
