Indosat Intelligence Suite connects AI infrastructure, models

As AI adoption advances, businesses face a new challenge: deploying and managing AI across different workloads while balancing performance, cost, security, and governance.

Against this backdrop, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison (Indosat) and F5 have announced a partnership to expand access to enterprise AI through the Indosat Intelligence Suite. The platform provides a trusted and governed environment that simplifies how businesses access and deploy AI, without requiring them to build and manage complex infrastructure themselves.

The Indosat Intelligence Suite builds on Indosat’s full-stack AI ecosystem in Indonesia, spanning energy, data centres, compute, connectivity, and AI models. Through its partnership with F5, Indosat is extending this foundation into an enterprise-ready platform that connects AI infrastructure and models with businesses across the region.

The Indosat Intelligence Suite brings multiple AI models and infrastructure capabilities together through a single interface, giving businesses greater visibility and control over how they use AI. It is designed to help organisations select and deploy the intelligence suited to their specific workloads while maintaining the security and governance required for production environments. 

The launch marks the next step in Indosat’s AI journey: building not only AI capacity for Indonesia and the region, but the way to use it. By connecting infrastructure, models and enterprise demand, the Intelligence Suite can help businesses put growing AI capacity to work and support wider AI adoption and economic value across the region.

Vikram Sinha, President Director and CEO of Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison said: “As AI moves from experimentation into everyday business, companies need more than access to models, they need a trusted way to put intelligence into production. With the full stack AI as the foundation, Indosat Intelligence Suite will become an intelligence factory for businesses, helping businesses access the right intelligence for their needs and scale it securely across the region.”

“Indosat is building the region's AI future, and F5 is proud to secure and optimise it. Together, we are making advanced AI accessible, and safe for every business,” said François Locoh-Donou, Chairman, President, and CEO, F5. 

“Indosat Intelligence Suite addresses this through one governed layer between enterprise applications and the AI infrastructure underneath. Businesses can access, route, measure and manage AI consumption across multiple models without having to build and manage every underlying layer themselves.” 

As businesses move AI into production, managing multiple models and providers requires balancing performance, cost, latency, security, and governance, Indosat said. This is especially critical in regulated sectors where data residency and security can determine whether AI can scale. The Intelligence Suite simplifies this by bringing together more than 300 open and closed AI models in a single interface, including Sahabat-AI, Indosat-hosted models, and connected global models:

The right model for each workload

Built-in intelligence routes requests based on cost, quality and latency, so businesses can match workloads to the model best suited to the task. 

One catalogue, one interface

Local, Indosat-hosted and global models can be accessed through the same platform, supporting local-language, dedicated and advanced reasoning use cases. 

Economics enterprises can plan around

Tokens are converted into credits that can be allocated across models, applications and teams, providing a consolidated view of consumption and spending. 

Infrastructure security and optimisation powered by F5

F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes supports tenant isolation and container security, while dynamic, GPU-aware load balancing is designed to improve latency, including time to first token (TTFT) and overall token throughput.

The platform offers Pay as You Go, Unified Enterprise Credit and Dedicated Capacity, supporting different requirements from developers and growing businesses to enterprises, government and regulated organisations. Fifty businesses and organisations are targeted at launch, with early access for promotional prices available throughout the year.

“Enterprises are hitting a wall trying to move AI from pilot to production because they need to balance rapid innovation with sovereignty, governance and cost predictability,” said Chad Whalen, Chief Revenue Officer at F5. 

“By bringing together Indosat’s platform and in-market reach with F5’s experience in securing AI workloads and APIs at scale, we can help enterprises across region consume intelligence that is trusted, secure and optimised for what each of them actually needs.”

For organisations with data residency requirements, Sahabat-AI and Indosat-hosted tiers can process workloads in-market, while policies determine which workloads may be routed to global models. Requests can also be authenticated, metered and logged through an auditable ledger. 

The Intelligence Suite incorporates F5 AI Security capabilities to support protection against the OWASP Top 10 LLM threats, data leakage and other emerging AI-specific threats.
