JAKARTA - Minister of Communication and Information Budi Arie Setiadi encourages the telecommunications industry to use the latest technology to maximize its services, in order to accelerate digital transformation.

"We hope that the Indonesian Telecommunications Society (MASTEL) is also involved in it, encouraging the use of technology that continues to grow, including the Internet of Things," Budi said at the MASTEL National Conference, quoted Thursday, May 16.

According to Budi, there are a lot of new technological innovations in the telecommunications sector, one of which is the Satelion innovation in Spain, which uses the constellation of satellites as a mobile tower to operate IoT devices flexibly without the need for hardware adjustments.

This new technology needs to be addressed by the government and industry in an innovative, agile, and open-minded manner to maximize digital transformation in the telecommunications sector.

He added that collaboration between the government and stakeholders in realizing shared ideals in the digital sector is important.

"We need to look at the use of this variety of future technologies as an opportunity to keep the telecommunications sector growing rapidly," he said.

Minister Budi Arie explained that the Ministry of Communication and Informatics has launched the Vision of Indonesia Digital 2045 as a road map for national digital transformation policies.

The Indonesia Digital 2045 vision is a policy planning document that includes eight strategies, namely equal distribution of connectivity and digital infrastructure, mastery of digital technology, data sovereignty and privacy protection, strengthening of cyber security technology and ecosystems, establishing digital communities, establishing adaptive regulations and institutions, increasing investment in the digital sector, and collaborating multi-stakeholders.

"I ask all parties to have the spirit and attitude of optimism to realize Indonesia Gold 2045. With full optimism and enthusiasm we are sure that Indonesia Gold 2045 will be able to be realized," he said.
