On December 19, 2025, Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Digital issued Decree No. 569/2025, establishing revised technical standards for telecommunications equipment and mobile devices based on Long Term Evolution (LTE) and International Mobile Telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020, or 5G) technologies. The regulation replaces Decree No. 352/2024 and includes updated compliance requirements for device manufacturers, including frequency bands, safety standards, and local content rules.
Scope and Applicability
The decree applies to:
Subscriber stations (user devices) and base stations operating on LTE and IMT-2020 technologies
Repeaters based on LTE and IMT-2020 technologies
Devices operating in specified frequency bands, including 2.6 GHz for 5G
To be placed on the Indonesian market, such equipment must comply with the new technical standards and be certified in accordance with local regulations.
Certification and Testing Requirements
Compliance is demonstrated through the issuance of a certification from the Ministry. Devices must meet electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), non-ionizing radiation, and specific radio frequency (RF) requirements.
Key standards referenced for testing include:
Electrical safety: SNI IEC 62368-1:2014, IEC 60950-1:2005
EMC: SNI CISPR 32:2015, ETSI EN 301 489-52
RF testing: 3GPP TS 36.521-1 and ETSI EN 301 908 series
Frequency Bands and Emission Requirements
Devices must conform to specified channel bandwidths (up to 20 MHz) and operate within the approved E-UTRA bands (e.g., Band 1, 3, 5, 8, 28, 40, 41). Transmitters must meet benchmarks for output power, adjacent channel leakage (ACLR), spurious emissions, and reference sensitivity levels.
Domestic Content Obligations & Additional Provisions
The regulation mandates local content requirements for certain devices:
Subscriber devices (user equipment) must include at least 35% domestic components
LTE base stations must meet a 40% minimum threshold
Exemptions are granted for base stations operating in specific paired frequency bands (452.5–457.5 MHz and 462.5–467.5 MHz).
All compliant subscriber devices must include a valid International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number. Certificates of conformance for domestic content must be issued by the relevant industrial authority, and verification may be conducted by approved third-party institutions.
Test reports issued prior to the decree’s effective date may still be accepted, provided they do not conflict with the new regulation.
The decree came into effect one month after its issuance, in January 2026.
