To ensure interoperability between telecommunication equipment and/or devices in Indonesia, the Ministry of Communication and Informatics establishes technical standards for every telecommunication equipment and device operating in Indonesia.
One of the devices that requires SDPPI certification is WLAN/WiFi.
A Wireless LAN, commonly known as a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), is a device that transmits and receives digital signals to connect two or more devices using wireless communication to form a Local Area Network (LAN).
WLAN devices operate on certain Radio Frequency Bands used for data access and generally use IEEE 802.11 technology.
WLAN, or what we commonly know as WiFi, has become increasingly popular for use in homes, offices, restaurants, and many other places.
As WLAN usage continues to grow, the number of WLAN devices circulating in Indonesia also continues to increase.
WLAN is a radio technology device that requires SDPPI/Postel certification.
WLAN technology is used in various products, such as:
- Mobile Phones
- Personal Computers
- Laptop Computers
- Car Audio systems
- Mobile Computers
- Routers
- Wireless Routers
- Tablet PCs
- And many other devices
Importers and manufacturers need to pay attention to the regulations that establish the technical requirements for WLAN devices.
These requirements are regulated under Director General of SDPPI Regulation No. 2 of 2019 (PERDIRJEN SDPPI No. 2 of 2019).

The regulation applies to two types of WLAN telecommunication devices:
- Subscriber Station
- Base Station/Access Point
Under the Director General Regulation, several technical requirements for WLAN devices are explained.
These requirements consist of:
1. General Requirements
- Power Supply
- Non-Ionizing Radiation Requirements
- Electrical Safety Requirements
- EMC Requirements
- Operational Requirements
2. Conformity Requirements
- Outdoor Telecommunication Equipment and/or Devices
- Indoor Telecommunication Equipment and/or Devices
As one example, under the conformity requirements, there are differences between the standards for Outdoor WLAN and Indoor WLAN:
- KEPDIRJEN No. 058/DIRJEN/1998 for Indoor WLAN
- KEPDIRJEN No. 268/DIRJEN/2011 for Outdoor WLAN
- PERDIRJEN No. 233/DIRJEN/2010
The explanation above provides a brief overview of the Technical Standards for WLAN Telecommunication Equipment and/or Devices.
