Indonesia Allocates Spectrum to Boost National Connectivity and Speed
What happened
Indonesia is working to ensure equitable, high-quality connectivity nationwide by allocating the 1.4 GHz radio frequency band for fixed wireless access services. The government is also opening up the 700 MHz and 2.6 GHz frequency bands to expand coverage and increase national mobile network capacity. This initiative aims to provide internet speeds of up to 100 Mbps at affordable monthly costs.

Why it matters
Despite internet penetration reaching 81.72 percent, roughly two thousand villages still lack 4G access, highlighting uneven national connectivity growth. The government's efforts to boost fixed broadband speeds from 67.45 Mbps to a target of 100 Mbps by 2029 aim to close this digital gap.
