Minister of Communication and Digital (Menkomdigi) Meutya Hafid stated that her ministry is targeting the auction of the 2.6 GHz frequency band to be held by the end of this year.
Meutya stated that the 2.6 GHz frequency auction will be held as an effort to strengthen 5G connections in Indonesia.
"Hopefully, by the end of this year, we will also hold an auction for the 2.6 GHz band for 5G development," Meutya said at the FEKDI x IFSE 2025 event in Central Jakarta on Thursday.
He added that the auction process is targeted for completion next year so that construction of the 5G network using the 2.6 GHz frequency can begin immediately.
"If all goes well will be completed next year and construction will begin to be felt next year," said Meutya.
