As wireless technology continues to evolve, governments worldwide are updating their regulations to ensure efficient and safe use of radio frequency (RF) spectrum. Indonesia is no exception.
With the introduction of new regulatory updates, including Permen Komdigi No. 2 Tahun 2025, the country has refined its spectrum policy to better accommodate modern wireless devices.
For manufacturers and importers, understanding these changes is essential for ensuring compliance and successful market entry.
What Is Indonesia’s Spectrum Policy
Indonesia’s spectrum policy regulates how radio frequencies are allocated and used by devices. This ensures that:
- Devices do not interfere with each other
- Frequency usage remains efficient
- Communication systems operate reliably
The policy is managed by the Direktorat Jenderal Infrastruktur Digital, which oversees telecommunication compliance and certification.
Key Updates in the Latest Regulation
The updated policy introduces several important changes that impact wireless devices:
1. Expanded Frequency Allocation
More frequency bands are now available under class licensing, especially for:
- Short Range Devices (SRD)
- WiFi and RLAN technologies
- IoT and smart devices
This supports the rapid growth of connected technologies.
2. Clearer Technical Parameters
The regulation provides stricter and clearer limits on:
- Transmission power (EIRP)
- Frequency usage
- Device operation conditions
This ensures safer and more standardized device performance.
3. Support for Modern Wireless Technologies
The updated policy aligns with global trends, supporting:
- High-speed connectivity
- Smart home ecosystems
- Industrial IoT applications
What Is Class Licensing (Izin Kelas)
Class licensing allows certain wireless devices to operate without individual spectrum permits, as long as they meet defined technical standards.
Common devices under class license include:
- WiFi-enabled devices
- Bluetooth devices
- IoT products
- Wireless accessories
However, it is important to note that class license does not eliminate the need for Postel certification.
Impact on Wireless Device Manufacturers
The updated spectrum policy has several implications:
🔹 More Devices Are Regulated
With clearer definitions, more wireless products are now subject to compliance requirements.
🔹 Increased Importance of RF Testing
Devices must strictly comply with frequency and power limits, making RF testing more critical than ever.
🔹 Alignment with Local Standards
Global product specifications may need adjustments to meet Indonesian requirements.
Common Challenges Faced by Businesses
Companies entering Indonesia often face:
- Misunderstanding of local frequency regulations
- Use of non-compliant frequency bands
- Incomplete technical documentation
- Delays due to failed RF testing
Risks of Non-Compliance
Failure to comply with spectrum policy can result in:
- Rejection during certification
- Customs clearance delays
- Restrictions on product sales
- Additional costs and time
