The Launch of Wi-Fi 7 in Bali: A Strategic Step Towards a Digital Economy and Smart Tourism

Bali is once again demonstrating a progressive move in the digital era with the launch of the first Wi-Fi 7 Ultra Giga network in Indonesia. This initiative is the result of a collaboration between SURGE, Bali Internet, and Huawei, aimed at strengthening digital infrastructure while accelerating technology-based economic transformation. With this high-speed network, Bali is ready to expand connectivity access and enhance the competitiveness of its tourism sector and local businesses amidst global technological developments.

This Wi-Fi 7 Ultra Giga technology utilizes an F5G-A (All-Optical Network) optical network, offering high speed, large capacity, and very low latency. This advantage supports the needs of the digital era, ranging from tourism activities, public services, to data-driven businesses. With a smarter and more efficient infrastructure, Bali affirms its commitment to becoming a world-class digital tourist destination and a pioneer in the modern connectivity-based economic transformation.

In line with this technological development, the Provincial Government of Bali is also placing digitalization as the main driver of regional economic growth. Through various initiatives, digitalization is not only focused on the tourism sector but also on agriculture, MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises), and technology-based public services. This approach is expected to build an economic ecosystem that is inclusive, efficient, and sustainable across the entire Bali region.

With the presence of Wi-Fi 7 Ultra Giga and the acceleration of digital transformation, Bali is prepared to step into a more connected and innovative future. The collaboration between the government, technology industry players, the tourism sector, and local communities will be a crucial factor in creating new momentum for Bali's tourism and digital economy. Through this synergy, Bali will not only strengthen its position as a leading tourist destination but also as a forefront digital economic hub in Indonesia.
