Indonesia is considerably late in implementing the 4G/LTE technology while some still doubt that the tech will have its glory in the country. However, some others argue that the implementation of this tech is revolutionary. They also believe that the current tech is mature enough that it won’t take long for 4G/LTE to rise. Cisco, in its Cisco Visual Networking Index (VNI) Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast for 2014-2019 report, predicted that the application of 4G in Indonesia will be 56 times better from 2014 to 2019.

The increasing growth of 4G connection is one of factors of mobile data traffic growth which is assumed to grow up to 10 times from 2014 to 2019. The 4G connection is predicted to cover 43,7% of total mobile traffic in 2019, and the traffic is forecasted to be 71 times better than today. The connection via smartphone with 4G support will dominate up to 40% of total smartphone data traffic in 2019.

Another finding from Cisco’s report was a prediction stating that in 2019, there will be 195,3 mill new mobile users (73% of Indonesian population), going up from 155,1 mill in 2014 with 4,7% annual growth. Cisco also predicted that the average mobile connection speed will reach 872 kbps in 2019, going up 3,7 times from 236 kbps in 2014.

Further, while there were 328 mill mobile network-connected devices noted, the number will stretch up to 385 mill units five years later. Cisco claimed that 46% of them are smart connection, rising from last year’s 14%.

As InfoBank reported, Cisco Indonesia’s Country Manager Sancoyo Setiabudi stated, “This latest Cisco VNI Mobile research forecasts a significant growth for Indonesia, 10 times better for mobile data traffic from 2014 to 2019. The increase of mobile penetration, smart connection’s significant growth, and the vast growth of 4G are some main factors of mobile traffic growth in Indonesia. Indonesia is one step closer to transform its society life through inter-connected connectivity.”
