JAKARTA - The Ministry of Communication and Digital will prepare 386 digital posts and an integrated monitoring system to maintain the quality of the network, transportation safety, and community transactions for the 2026 homecoming season.
Because telecommunications traffic has increased significantly during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, Minister of Communication and Digital Meutya Hafid emphasized that telecommunications networks are the backbone of public mobility during the homecoming rush.
"Telecommunications traffic has increased significantly, especially on the homecoming route, transportation centers, tourist areas, places of worship, and residential areas. Therefore, the readiness of digital infrastructure must be integrated with the overall readiness of transportation and public safety," said Meutya.
For the standby period from March 15-29, 2026, Komdigi has prepared 386 standby posts spread across Indonesia. The post consists of 5 main posts, mobile operator support and service outlets, and 35 Technical Implementation Units (UPT) in 35 provinces that will be on standby 24 hours to monitor service quality and potential network disruptions.
Komdigi also operates an integrated monitoring dashboard that allows for real-time physical monitoring of traffic density and mobile signal quality.
"Our target is that people can still communicate smoothly, make video calls, access digital maps, and online transactions without significant obstacles," he added.
In the public protection aspect, Kemkomdigi has increased cyber and spectrum patrols to anticipate the prevalence of fraud through fake BTS that often target congestion points.
This modus operandi uses illegal transmitter devices that masquerade as official signals to send fraudulent messages to people's phones.
Komdigi also ensures that the 112 emergency service remains active as a quick access for the public to get help. On the other hand, traffic engineering will also be carried out to mitigate the risk of network congestion in areas with the highest potential for data usage spikes.
