Radio Frequency Spectrum Licensing for Certification

Radio frequency spectrum licensing for certification is a critical requirement for telecommunication devices operating in Indonesia. Any device utilizing radio waves for communication or data transmission must comply with spectrum allocation and licensing regulations enforced by Kominfo/Komdigi.

Spectrum licensing forms an essential part of the SDPPI (Postel) certification process to ensure interference-free and compliant device operation.

What Is Radio Frequency Spectrum Licensing?

Radio frequency spectrum licensing is an official authorization allowing devices or systems to operate on designated frequency bands. It ensures that:

  • Frequency usage complies with national allocation

  • Devices do not cause harmful interference

  • Operations stay within permitted technical limits

For certification purposes, spectrum authorization is a key compliance element.

Devices Requiring Spectrum Licensing

Typical devices include:

  • Radio communication equipment

  • Cellular and private network systems

  • IoT, M2M, and telemetry devices

  • Certain wireless payment systems

  • Tracking and navigation equipment

  • Industrial and mining communication systems

Unlicensed band devices (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) still require certification, even without individual spectrum licenses.

Role of Spectrum Licensing in Certification

Spectrum licensing supports certification by:

  • Validating operating frequency compliance

  • Serving as a basis for RF testing

  • Supporting SDPPI/Postel certificate issuance

  • Ensuring regulatory conformity

Incorrect licensing classification may result in certification rejection.

Spectrum Licensing Process

The general process includes:

  1. Frequency band and service identification

  2. Licensing scheme determination

  3. Technical testing (RF and EMC)

  4. Documentation preparation

  5. Submission to Kominfo/Komdigi

  6. Regulatory evaluation and approval

Professional guidance helps reduce delays and compliance risks.

Benefits of Spectrum Compliance

  • Guaranteed legal operation

  • Smooth certification approval

  • Reduced regulatory risks

  • Sustainable business operations

  • Improved regulator confidence
