WiMAX Indonesia

September 19, 2008 By: Syahrial Ali Category: Technology

Since last year we have had lot of issues concerning WiMAX in Indonesia. Firstly concerning the licenses. Previously, the licenses will be released last year (2007), then postpone to February this year and up until now there is no news on when the WiMAX licenses will be released.

Several sources said that the delay in licensed release is on purpose to give time to the local industry to prepare everything to be able to compete with international manufacturers. In terms of empowering local industries no one will argue it. However, these industries shall be given a time limit so that they have to be ready on scheduled time. If they fail, regulator shall have an alternate plan.

Secondly, on May this year, an Indonesian WiMAX Chip has been launched. Currently they are on production phase. Thanks to Trio Adiono and team who make us proud as Indonesian.  The successful development shall be supported to be successful in market.

Meanwhile, Telkomsel, a giant GSM/3G Indonesian operator has made trial WiMAX technology in their network. WiMAX is used for backhaul only, to transmit signal from core network to Femto BTS point to multipoint. This is not for commercial purpose, said Yoseph Garo Vice President Technology and Business Incubation. He continued that Telkomsel has chosen LTE as its next technology.

When will WiMAX be implemented in Indonesia? WiMAX is considered to be able to overcome digital divide in Indonesia. WiMAX can be implemented with very low cost compared to current system but with higher capabilities and features. We still have to wait.
