Jakarta (VNA) – The 5G services can help telecommunicationsoperators in Indonesia increase their revenue by 35 percent, or 8.2 billion USD,by 2030, a recent study shows.
The November 2020 edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report saidthat telecommunications providers can gain the most benefits from offeringbusiness-to-business (B2B) 5G solutions for manufacturing firms, energyproviders and utilities as well as media and entertainment companies.
Indonesia is seeking to accelerate its 5G spectrumallocations by properly allocating spectra that meet the demand for the2,047-megahertz frequency spectrum necessary for both 4G and 5G by 2024. Thecountry has also run at least 10 trials on the use of 5G between 2017 and 2019.
Ericsson Indonesia Network Solutions head Ronni Nurmal said duringan online press briefing that in the 5G-enabled digital consumer services,revenue would be driven by enhanced video and high-definition music, whichwould make up 56 percent and 23 percent of total consumer-facing revenue,respectively.
Other potential segments include consumer internet of things(IoT) applications, cloud gaming, mobile games and live sport, he said.
Local telecom operators were ready to deploy 5G and theindustry is waiting for the government to make the spectrum available to rollout the technology within the next one to two years, Ericsson Indonesia countryhead Jerry Soper said during the same event./.
