Internet of Things in Indonesia

[sohanuzzaman54]

Massively, Indonesia is not ready to adapt IoT, however, there are several cities that are ready in terms of infrastructure to adopt IoT. However, there are 2 conditions that need to be assessed whether the city is a suitable market for IoT development.

1. Digital transformation
To be able to develop and implement IoT, the habit of using digital devices to complete a task is very necessary. This is because most of the interactions between IoT devices and users occur in digital form. In addition, expertise in reading digital data to support the decision-making process is also very crucial.

What happens if the user is given digital data and the user cannot read the information provided correctly. Of course the output produced will not be optimal. And there is a tendency to inhibit other processes. For example, the user is given data on the habits of city residents in traffic. Then, the user is given the responsibility to create an informative report as a need for spatial management.

However, because users cannot process data into list of austria cell phone numbers something informative, instead of speeding up the decision-making process, they have to repeat the analysis process that should have been completed in the hands of the user. Therefore, digital literacy is very necessary in developing and implementing IoT in Indonesia.

2. Smart City
In addition to digital literacy, the Smart City program in Indonesia can also be a reference for whether the city is a suitable market for developing and implementing IoT. This is because IoT is included in the needs of Smart City.

In addition, with the Smart City program, continuous IoT development can be realized to advance the Smart City program. However, the Smart City program cannot be a complete benchmark that every city that has a Smart City program is automatically suitable for IoT development and implementation.

At what stage can a city's Smart City program be used as a reference for IoT development and implementation? There are 9 stages towards Smart City. And after completing the digital transformation stages, the city is ready to welcome IoT development and IoT implementation. The reason, of course, comes back to digital literacy.

It is important to note that not all cities have undergone digital transformation. Also, not all cities that have Smart City programs have reached the stage of digital transformation. Cities that have the two criteria above can be good markets for developing and implementing IoT projects.

In addition to focusing on cities that are already digitally literate. The industrial sector also has a large market for IoT development and implementation. The same requirements also apply to IoT market companies. They MUST be digitally literate.

Indeed, for a national scale, Indonesia is still far from being ready to implement this IoT project. However, starting in some areas that are already "mature" is not a bad step, it will accelerate the development and implementation of IoT so that the IoT project does not stop.
