Jakarta, Kominfo \u2013 Director General of Resources and Equipment of Post and Information Technology, Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Ismail stated that one of the reasons Indonesia had to develop 5G technology as a form of support for the development of five super priority tourist destinations. In fact, there are three more reasons, namely the success of the President’s vision and mission, building an industrial system that is in line with the market, and the need for hitech in the new nation’s capital.<\/p>\n
“The President’s vision and mission requires broadband connectivity. For example, when we talk about human resource development, one of the main issues is equal distribution of education. Educators must reach remote areas. Well, 5G will make a tremendous leap for e-learning. That’s one of the tools if we prepare 5G,” explained Ismail at the Indonesia 5G Ecosystems Forum 2020, which was held by the Indonesia ICT Institute, Tuesday (10\/03\/2020).<\/p>\n
Regarding the industrial roadmap in the country, according to the Director General of SDPPI, the fabrication must be real life with the market, so that feedback in the field is directly recorded in production. When this is running, the presence of 5G technology makes robotic functions replace many people.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany industrial applications will use 5G later. In several large industries, such as Mercy, BMW and so on, participating in the auction also gets a frequency spectrum. They want to build 5G frequencies specifically for industrial needs to monitor the use of their cars by users,” he said.<\/p>\n
In connection with the construction of the new national capital in Kalimantan, it is natural to require the support of high and latest technology. 5G technology must be there to support connectivity. Thus, before the new capital is realized, it is necessary to build a frequency spectrum infrastructure there.<\/p>\n
The same is true with the government’s program to boost the level of tourist visits through five super priority destinations. “In the midst of the corona virus, we should not be pessimistic about overcoming various obstacles. Tourism is a very important part of building this nation, because so many follow-up businesses will be boosted,\u201d he hoped.<\/p>\n
The Indonesia 5G Ecosystem Forum was attended by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics along with the Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Agency as a regulator in the telecommunications sector, the Telecommunications and Information Accessibility Agency (BAKTI) which has completed the construction of the Palapa Ring, telecommunication operator associations, IoT associations and also academics.<\/p>\n
