Complete guide to SDPPI certification for drone remote controller devices according to Indonesian telecommunication regulations
Postel certification is a mandatory approval process required for telecommunication devices before they can be marketed, imported, or used in Indonesia. One of the devices included in this requirement is the drone remote control, a controller device used to operate drones via radio communication.
Telecommunication device certification in Indonesia is managed by the Direktorat Jenderal Sumber Daya dan Perangkat Pos dan Informatika, under the authority of the Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika Republik Indonesia.
This requirement is regulated by Peraturan Menteri Komunikasi dan Informatika Nomor 16 Tahun 2018 tentang Sertifikasi Alat dan/atau Perangkat Telekomunikasi, which requires telecommunication equipment to comply with national technical standards before entering the Indonesian market.
Drone remote controllers typically use communication technologies such as 2.4 GHz or 5.8 GHz radio frequencies to transmit control signals between the controller and the drone.
Because these devices use radio frequency spectrum, they must undergo technical testing and obtain Postel certification before being distributed in Indonesia.
Functions of Drone Remote Controllers
Drone remote controllers play an essential role in drone operations by allowing operators to control flight and camera functions in real time.
Common functions include:
- controlling drone flight movement
- operating the drone camera
- selecting flight modes
- receiving telemetry data
- connecting drones with mobile applications
Because these controllers rely on wireless communication technology, they must comply with Indonesian telecommunication regulations.
Types of Drone Remote Controllers
Examples of drone remote controllers requiring certification include:
- standard drone controllers
- WiFi drone controllers
- long-range drone controllers
- professional drone controllers
- smart drone controllers with integrated display
All these controllers must pass laboratory testing before entering the Indonesian telecommunications market.
