Regulation Challenges of 5G Spectrum Deployment at 3.5 GHz: The Framework for Indonesia

5G is expected to launch in 2020. A good ecosystem is needed to optimally support the implementation of 5G, such as via regulation. One of the problems and challenges in regulation is the allocation of spectrum frequencies. Various research has recommended the 3.5 GHz spectrum frequency for the implementation of 5G technology. Unfortunately, in Indonesia, the 3.5 GHz spectrum frequency has been used for fixed satellite services. With an uneven spread of optics, and Indonesia consisting of thousands of islands, satellite service is still needed in Indonesia. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the 3.5 GHz spectrum frequency's use for 5G technology in Indonesia. In this paper, we propose a framework to evaluate this regulation with Indonesia as a case study, which is based on economic, social, technological, and political perspectives. These perspectives are needed to ensure the evaluation of spectrum usage is accurate and can describe current industry conditions for 5G's use of the 3.5 GHz spectrum in Indonesia.
