Selection 3G channel two blocks (blocks 11 and 12) were left in the 2.1 GHz spectrum will be completed this September.
Once the selection is completed, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology will conduct a thorough restructuring in the 2.1 GHz spectrum in order to block the mobile operator owned arranged side by side.
Indonesian Minister of Communications and Information Tifatul Sembiring said the arrangement was done to maximize the use of frequencies that are owned operator. "To guard his band did not waste too much," he said in Jakarta, Thursday (09/13/2012) night.
If there be a mobile operator ordered to move the blocks to be contiguous, Kemenkominfo ensure that no displacement of more than 20MHz.
"If no more than 20MHz, the operator only needs to perform a software upgrade, no need to change the infrastructure. If more than 20MHz, then the operator needs to change the infrastructure," said Tifatul.
3G network in 2.1 GHz frequency spectrum has a total range of 60MHz bands are divided into 12 blocks canal. Each block has a vocal range of 5MHz.
A total of 10 blocks of channels are allocated to five mobile operators 3G license holders, namely Telkomsel in blocks 4 and 5, 7 and 8 Indosat, XL Axiata in 9 and 10, Axis Telecom Indonesia at 2 and 3, and Hutchison CP Telecommunications (Tri) at 1 and 6.
Blocks 11 and 12 has yet to be allocated to mobile operators. Well, the second block is being contested by five licensed mobile operator 3G.
Heru Sutadi ICT Institute researchers suggest, governments need to plan carefully the arrangement of blocks of 3G spectrum 2.1 GHz. He predicts, arrangement block can take a lot. Moreover, the operator who occupies the block 11 and 12 need to pay more because they have to install the filter, since there is no interference from 1.9GHz frequency.
"It is likely there are operators who objected when told to move to blocks 11 and 12, because it blocks a lot of interference from 1.9GHz frequency used Smart Telecom (smartfren)," said Heru after Rounds discussion Pamungkas 3G frequencies, Wednesday (12/9 / 2012).
Similar disclosed Executive Director Development and Community Information (LPPMI) Kamilov Sagala, which assesses the importance of attention regulation and the role of regulators in structuring overall at 2.1 GHz spectrum.
"We want to move the block Vodacom from 4 to 6 is not able to block, let alone the later involves many operators are removed. Should any provision of a clear and unequivocal on this matter," said Kamilov, who had served as a member of the Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Body (BRTI
