The Indonesia spectrum allocation landscape has undergone a significant transformation with the enactment of Peraturan Menteri Komdigi Nomor 8 Tahun 2026. This regulation introduces a new Tabel Alokasi Spektrum Frekuensi Radio Indonesia (TASFRI), replacing the 2021 framework. As a result, stakeholders across the wireless and telecommunications sectors must reassess compliance strategies to ensure alignment with the updated national spectrum structure.
Key Changes in Indonesia Spectrum Allocation
The 2026 TASFRI aligns Indonesia’s spectrum framework with the latest outcomes from the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC). Consequently, several critical updates have been introduced.
Expanded Focus on 5G and Satellite Services
Notably, the regulation brings changes to spectrum availability for IMT (5G) services, satellite communications (including NGSO/ESIM), and the 6 GHz band for RLAN and data networking. Moreover, these updates redefine how spectrum is allocated for modern connectivity technologies.
Updated Service Designations
Additionally, the distinction between “Primary” and “Secondary” service allocations has become a key compliance factor. Manufacturers and compliance teams must ensure that device operating frequencies strictly align with these updated classifications.
Compliance and Certification Implications
The Indonesia spectrum allocation update directly affects certification processes. Technical documentation and applications must now reference the 2026 TASFRI as the mandatory baseline for SDPPI Type Approval.
Furthermore, regulatory authorities will rely on this updated framework for market surveillance activities. Therefore, any misalignment with the new allocations could delay or prevent certification approvals.
Trade and Market Access Considerations
From a trade perspective, compliance with the new TASFRI is essential. Import permits and Customs clearance are dependent on valid Type Approval certificates.
However, products operating in deprecated or unallocated frequency bands may face rejection at the border. For this reason, companies should proactively audit their product portfolios—especially Short Range Devices, automotive radar systems, and telecommunications terminal equipment.
