Summary/Abstract: Indonesia’s growing population increasingly relies on 4G networks, presenting challenges for the Ministry managing mobile broadband adoption. There are severe data network congestion problems in metropolitan areas, particularly Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital city. Urgent action is required to address infrastructure and capacity limitations and maintain reliable connectivity. Carrier aggregation (CA) may alleviate bottlenecks by giving users higher bandwidth, throughput, and data rates. This research examined the techno-economic aspects of using 2.1 GHz CA versus non-CA in an urban region of North Jakarta. CA required fewer eNodeB and performed better on key performance indicators like received signal power, signal-to-noise ratio, and throughput. Cellular operators also saw faster investment returns with CA. CA’s performance and economic benefits make it a promising solution for Indonesia’s 4G network congestion.
