What Is Postel Kominfo?
Postel Kominfo is the official certification system managed by Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Kominfo/Komdigi) to ensure telecommunication devices comply with national technical, safety, and regulatory standards.
All telecommunication devices such as mobile phones, routers, IoT devices, modems, radio equipment, and network hardware must obtain Postel Certification before being legally distributed or used in Indonesia.
