Spectrum Considerations for 5G in Indonesia

The capabilities of fifth generation (5G) mobile communication systems will make possible massive new levels of connectivity; very fast data transfer rates, from 10 Gbps to 20 Gbps; and high reliability of mobile communications. Developments in technology to meet these capabilities will be deployed in the existing frequency bands identified for cellular broadband communication systems, but they will also require new spectrum band resources in low, mid, and high frequencies to specifically provide high bandwidth resources that can efficiently deliver high data rate services. The main goal of the research was to investigate the available spectrum bands and data rates according to the available bandwidth assumptions in Indonesia as a study case.
