The development speed Internet access in Indonesia

Now technology is no longer seen as a luxury item that can only be obtained by the upper classes of modern society. With the support of the availability of technology resources are cheap and easily accessible, as the technology can be embraced by all people who want it.

One form of technology that can be obtained easily by the entire community is #internet. Yes, the Internet has helped facilitate our various activities. Now not only the internet can be accessed via a desktop PC, but can also be accessed via #smartphone and various types of other gadgets. Naturally fun if we can access the Internet quickly and smoothly.


But if we know the history of the development speed internet access in Indonesia before they can surf as easy as it is today? If many of us who do not know the history of the technology, it would be nice if we listen to first review the following brief:


1. Starting from GPRS

GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is a technology that allows the sending and receiving of data takes place faster than the process that uses the concept of Circuit Switch Data (CSD). Fusion cell phone with GPRS technology concept has resulted in new technology, named 2.5 G. This technology allows the transfer of multiple data formats such as email, picture and access the browser (www).

2. Continues to EDGE

EDGE stands for Enhanced Data rates for GSM Revolution. This network is a form of the development of the first GSM network was originally only held by three major telecommunication companies in Indonesia, namely Indosat, Telkomsel and Excelcomindo. EDGE itself can be interpreted as 2.75G, which also pioneered 3G presence in Indonesia.




At first application of EDGE aims to increase data rates in GSM radio link. In general, EDGE offers access capacity that is much bigger and better than GPRS.

3. The emergence of 3G

3G is a mobile phone network standard form set by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The presence of 3G has become a very modern technological evolution. But apparently the presence of 3G has not been able to facilitate watching videos directly from the Internet or telephone conversation with the activities of video media (known as video call).

Nevertheless, the presence of 3G would have to outperform their predecessors, such as GPRS and EDGE. Not only that, 3G has also become a new standard for telecom companies to establish the capacity of the cable network on the market. In Indonesia, the first 3G operator raised around 2004.

4. Then 3.5G, 3G Results Of Development

Often referred to as 3.5G HSDPA (High Speed Download Packet Access). HSDPA offers a concept that is much more mature than his elder brother, the 3G. Through the use of HSDPA, video call quality becomes more refined and clear, much faster internet access and VoIP delay can also be minimized. With this technology, we can transmit data at 14:45 Mb per second in a unit time. Not sophisticated enough ...

5. Then the emergence of 4G

In the period from February 2014, the Indonesian government began preparing regulations regarding msuknya concept of 4G technology in Indonesia. The concept itself is actually shaped 4G LTE (Long Term Evaluation) that develops 3GPP technology and Ultra Mobile Broadband. 4G would offer facilities and technological sophistication over longer adequate to meet the needs of Internet users in Indonesia.

6. Prepare Yourself For the Sophisticated 5G

Nowadays it seems like we have to start preparing for a sophisticated look forward to welcoming the 5G. For ordinary Internet users, 5G facilities certainly very tempting, with an access speed of data transfer that is claimed to reach 10 Gb per second. With 4G, we may take 1 minute to download a movie file.

But with 5G, we might just take 1 second. Until now, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has set up a special organization to study the development of 5G technologies. The organization consists of Europe, China, Japan and South Korea.


Wow, it seems very exciting to study the development of technology in the world. Hopefully the various innovations that can affect the speed of internet access in Indonesia and began to penetrate to advance some parts of Indonesia that the technology is still somewhat lagging.
