These three companies had previously completed registration as candidate auction participants and undergone a series of selection stages.

This selection involves spectrum resources required for mobile cellular network operations in 2026. During the process of becoming official participants, the three candidate companies submitted written questions regarding the selection documents through the electronic auction system from April 29 to May 8, 2026. Subsequently, a Q&A session on the selection documents was held from May 18 to 20, 2026, attended by representatives of all candidate participants. A briefing on the selection simulation was conducted from May 20 to 21, 2026, followed by simulations at the respective locations of each candidate participant on May 25, 26, and 29. On June 18, 2026, the candidate participants submitted application documents for participation in the user selection for the 700 MHz and 2.6 GHz bands. Based on the completeness check of the application documents conducted on that day, as well as the verification and clarification of administrative documents for all selection participants from June 18 to 25, the selection committee announced the list of those who passed the administrative evaluation.

For the 700 MHz radio frequency band, the three operators that passed the evaluation are PT Indosat Tbk, PT Telekomunikasi Selular, and PT XLSMART Telecom Sejahtera Tbk. For the 2.6 GHz radio frequency band, the list of those passing the evaluation is identical.

According to the provisions of the selection documents, after the announcement of participants, the price auction phase will commence. This phase is scheduled to start on July 7, 2026, at 09:00 WIB via the electronic auction system. Additionally, selection participants are required to own or create a digital signature on the Peruri Shield platform owned by the Indonesian Mint Company (Peruri). Auction participants may submit written objections to the administrative evaluation results online through the electronic auction system by 15:00 WIB on June 29, 2026, accompanied by supporting evidence. Objections submitted after the deadline or not in compliance with document requirements will not be processed. Even if objections to the evaluation results exist, the selection process will continue.
