6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Indonesia s first rural 5G base station”

How many 5G base stations are there in Indonesia?

Most 5G deployments are still confined to urban centers, leaving large parts of Indonesia's vast geography underserved. For example, Telkomsel has launched only 2,200 5G base stations in 56 cities, out of a total footprint of more than 240,000 base stations. Despite the focus on 5G, Indonesia remains a 4G-first market.

Why should Indonesia invest in 5G?

Key hurdles include fiberization, expensive infrastructure, and devices that are priced out of reach for much of Indonesia's population. However, strategic investments in 5G can bridge these gaps, unlocking innovation, economic growth, and a globally competitive digital future for Indonesia.

Where is Telkomsel launching 4G & 5G mobile services in Indonesia?

Indonesian telco Telkomsel has deployed 49 base stations to support 4G and 5G mobile services in the country's new capital city, Nusantara (IKN). Nusantara is set to open on August 17, located on the island of Borneo, 800 miles away from the current capital Jakarta on the island of Java.

Does Indonesia have a 5G network?

In Indonesia, 5G rollout is progressing, with commercial services launched by Telkomsel, Indosat Ooredoo and XL Axiata since 2021, utilising existing spectrum holdings in the 1800 MHz, 2.1 GHz and 2.3 GHz bands. As of the end of 2024, 5G networks covered 26.3% of Indonesia's population, or around 15.7 million 5G connections.

Which Indonesian telco will provide 5G services?

Telkomsel will become the first Indonesian telco to provide 5G services from the opening of the new capital. The carrier said this week that it has optimized its network in two IKN buffer cities, Chinakpapan and Samarinda.

Why is 5G a problem in Indonesia?

Spectrum constraints. Indonesia's mobile ecosystem is constrained by insufficient and fragmented mid-band spectrum*, which is essential for 5G's optimal performance: Only 360MHz of mid-band spectrum is currently assigned for mobile use—less than half of the APAC average of 850MHz.
