INFOPAJAJARAN.COM - Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The highly anticipated pre-registration phase for affordable internet services has commenced, offering a glimmer of hope for enhanced digital connectivity across Indonesia. PT Solusi Sinergi Digital Tbk. (WIFI), also known as Surge, has officially launched the pre-registration process through two dedicated websites, marking a significant step towards realizing its vision of accessible high-speed internet for all.
Collaboration and Technological Advancement
Surge recently formalized a comprehensive commercial partnership with OREX SAI Inc., a Japanese joint venture between NTT DOCOMO, INC. and NEC Corporation. This collaboration aims to introduce the world's first 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) service operating on the 1.4GHz band, utilizing Open RAN technology.
The deployment of up to 4,800 base stations by OREX SAI during the initial implementation phase in the first quarter of 2026 underscores the commitment to providing widespread coverage. This strategic alliance signifies a pivotal moment in Indonesia's pursuit of bridging the digital divide and fostering economic growth through technological innovation.
Pre-Registration Process and Accessibility
Potential subscribers can now register their interest through two official online platforms: Internetrakyat.id and MyTelemedia.id. These websites serve as a crucial tool for gauging customer distribution before the full-scale commercial launch of Surge's 5G FWA services.
The pre-registration procedure is designed to be user-friendly, requiring prospective users to visit the websites and complete the necessary information. The ease of access ensures that individuals from all backgrounds can express their interest in availing themselves of this affordable internet solution.
Vision for Nationwide Connectivity
According to SURGE President Director Yune Marketatmo, the overarching objective of this collaboration is to deliver high-speed, affordable internet access, fostering comprehensive connectivity throughout Indonesia. The partnership with OREX SAI reflects a shared commitment to bridging the digital divide and propelling Indonesia's digital economic growth to unprecedented levels.
Surge's 5G FWA service is expected to offer a flat-rate plan of approximately Rp100,000 per month, delivering speeds of up to 100 Mbps without data caps, along with free installation. This competitive pricing strategy aims to make high-speed internet accessible to a wider segment of the population, particularly those in underserved areas.
Anticipated Impact and Future Prospects
The introduction of affordable 5G FWA services has generated considerable excitement among Indonesian consumers. Some reports even suggest promotional pricing as low as Rp 29,000 per month for 100 Mbps speeds, further enhancing the appeal of this initiative.
The ""Internet Rakyat"" service is slated to become available to the public next year, promising to revolutionize internet access and digital inclusion across the nation. As Indonesia continues its journey towards becoming a fully connected society, initiatives like this play a crucial role in empowering individuals and driving economic prosperity.
