Latest! Indonesia’s New SDPPI Certification Regulation for WLAN Devices (2025 Edition): Must-Read for Wi-Fi 6E/7

1.Regulation Highlights

The Directorate General of Digital Infrastructure of Indonesia (formerly SDPPI) issued KOMDIGI No. 2/2025 in 2025, officially opening the 6GHz frequency band, enabling support for Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7 devices. This means:

✅ Higher Data Rates: The 6GHz band offers lower interference and wider channels (up to 160MHz).

✅ New Power Classifications:

  • VLP (Very Low Power) and

  • LPI (Low Power Indoor)
    are introduced for different usage scenarios.
