Nokia Siemens Networks will modernize Telkomsel’s network to Release 4 architecture with its MSC Server System mobile softswitch solution, which helps the Indonesian operator reduce operating expenses while expanding communications services.
Nokia Siemens Networks has been selected to modernize the existing core networks for Telkomsel, the biggest mobile services provider in Indonesia. Under the three-year frame work agreement, Nokia Siemens Networks will deploy the latest generation softswitch in across Indonesia.

This solution will help Telkomsel evolve seamlessly to an All IP architecture and enable the operator to offer new innovative services such as Voice over IP to their users.
