On July 23, 2025, KOMDIGI launched a public consultation on the New Technical Standard (RKM) for land mobile radio communication equipment. The main contents of the RKM are as follows:

• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are updated to comply with the international standard CISPR 32 or ETSI EN 301 489;
• Electrical safety requirements updates follow IEC 60950-1 or IEC 62368-1;
• Land mobile radio equipment is divided into three categories: conventional radio equipment, trunking radio equipment and special mobile radio equipment;
• Conventional radio equipment and trunking radio equipment are divided into four categories: handheld, mobile, base station/repeater, and radio modem;
The
• limits on the operating frequency of devices have been adjusted from the previous broad range (e.g., the previously allowed operating frequency of UHF equipment was 300 - 3000 MHz) to the adjustment based on the allocation of the Indonesian Frequency Allocation Table (TASFRI) and the popularity of the equipment produced by the supplier (e.g., in this RKM, only UHF devices are allowed to operate at frequencies of 300 - 470 MHz, not devices of 450 - 512 MHz);
• Test parameters are limited to those that can avoid harmful interference, including operating frequency, channel spacing, conducted output power, stray emissions, and frequency error/frequency stability. Other test parameters, including temperature, impedance, and modulation, are omitted;
• Test methods that comply with international standards have been added.
