Indonesia's Digital Infrastructure Readiness Gains International Recognition
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia has received AI-Net Certification and the WBBA Gigacity Certification from the World Broadband Association (WBBA), along with international awards, in recognition of its demonstrated national digital infrastructure readiness.
According to a government press release issued on Friday, the certification and awards were announced at the Broadband Development Summit APAC 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand, on 14 July 2026.
“This unified global certification standard validates Indonesia’s long-term digital transformation strategy and will further accelerate the development of intelligent, high-quality network infrastructure across every corner of the country,” said Denny Setiawan, Director of Digital Infrastructure Strategy and Policy at the Ministry of Communication and Digital.
The Ministry of Communication and Digital, together with Indonesian telecommunications operators, received the awards in recognition of their demonstrated digital infrastructure readiness.
The Ministry of Communication and Digital won the AI Net Country 2026 Award for proving the readiness of national digital infrastructure in supporting the development of artificial intelligence-based internet networks, IPv6, and Net5.5G technology.
Meanwhile, the Gigabit City Award was secured thanks to efforts that drove Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) penetration from 25 per cent to 35 per cent, as well as the implementation of policies considered progressive in the digital economic transformation at national level and across the ASEAN region.
Denny said these achievements represent an important foundation for Indonesia in carrying out its digital transformation and realising the Indonesia Cerdas 2030 vision.
PT XLSMART Telecom Sejahtera Tbk made history by becoming the world’s first operator to achieve AI-Net Champion status through the implementation of the Net5.5G roadmap.
PT Solusi Sinergi Digital Tbk (SURGE) won the WBBA Gigacity Champion Award for its innovative Fixed Broadband (FBB) Starlite SUPER service and 1.4 GHz Broadband Wireless Access (BWA), whilst Telkomsel received recognition for developing Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services based on 5G technology.
Denny said these successes reflect the synergy between the government and the telecommunications industry in accelerating the national digital transformation.
