The rapid growth of wireless networking technology has significantly increased the use of Wireless Access Points (WAP) across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. These devices enable stable and efficient wireless internet connectivity. However, in Indonesia, Wireless Access Points are categorized as telecommunication devices using radio frequency, making Postel (DJID) certification mandatory before they can be imported, sold, or distributed.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of Wireless Access Point devices, their usage, and the Postel certification process in Indonesia, guided by Cerapproval as your trusted certification partner.
What Is a Wireless Access Point?
A Wireless Access Point is a networking device that transmits WiFi signals, allowing multiple devices to connect wirelessly to a local network. It typically connects to a router or wired LAN infrastructure and expands wireless coverage.
Wireless Access Points operate on regulated radio frequency bands such as 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz, which are subject to strict technical compliance requirements in Indonesia.
How Wireless Access Points Work and Are Used
Wireless Access Points are commonly used to build scalable and efficient wireless networks. The general usage process includes:
- Device Installation
Connecting the Access Point to power and the main network. - Network Configuration
Setting up SSID, security protocols, frequency channels, and bandwidth. - Network Management
Advanced devices offer centralized or cloud-based monitoring systems. - Wireless Signal Distribution
The Access Point provides wireless connectivity within a defined coverage area.
Due to their radio transmission function, Postel certification is legally required.
Why Is Postel Certification Mandatory for Wireless Access Points?
Postel certification ensures that devices:
- Comply with Indonesian technical standards
- Operate safely without causing radio frequency interference
- Are legally approved for import and commercial distribution
- Protect end users and national communication infrastructure
Non-certified products may face customs rejection, market withdrawal, or legal penalties.
Postel Certification Process for Wireless Access Points in Indonesia
The certification process generally includes:
- Device Classification Review
Determining the correct regulatory category. - Testing at Accredited Laboratories
Including RF, EMC, and technical compliance testing. - Technical Documentation Preparation
Datasheets, manuals, schematics, and test reports. - Online Submission via DJID System
