PT Solusi Sinergi Digital Tbk (SURGE, IDX: WIFI) has switched on full-coverage 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) service for its affordable home-internet brand, IRA – Internet Rakyat, in 10 cities across Java. The simultaneous launch took place on September 17, 2026.

The service is delivered through SURGE's subsidiary, PT Telemedia Komunikasi Pratama (TKP). With full coverage now active, every household in the 10 cities is covered by the IRA network and can subscribe to unlimited home internet without waiting for a cable to be installed at the home.

IRA Internet Rakyat 5G FWA Covers 10 Cities in Java

The 10 cities are Surakarta, Banjar, Pekalongan, Blitar, Tegal, Probolinggo, Mojokerto, Cilegon, Pasuruan and Kediri.

These cities are part of IRA's existing footprint of 88 cities across Java, Maluku and Papua. They are the first cities upgraded from partial to full coverage under IRA's full-coverage programme.

SURGE said IRA already has a growing customer base in each of the 10 cities. The company said demand in these locations has confirmed the need for affordable connectivity and provides a base for deeper penetration in each city.

The 10 cities form the Priority 1 scope of the full-coverage programme. SURGE said the same strategy will be extended to other IRA cities in stages, so that cities across the IRA footprint progressively reach full coverage.

"Switching on full coverage in ten cities at once is part of SURGE's journey to bring connectivity closer to the people. We want more homes and families to have internet that is fast, stable and affordable — and, with Vidio included, a digital experience that is more complete and relevant to their daily lives. Going forward, we will keep extending IRA's reach and adding services that bring more benefit to communities across Indonesia," said Hendrik Tee, President Director of PT Solusi Sinergi Digital Tbk.

IRA Offers Up to 100 Mbps With Unlimited Data

IRA's 5G FWA service offers download speeds of up to 100 Mbps and unlimited data with no fair-usage cap over SURGE's 5G network.

Customers do not pay an installation fee or modem rental fee. Because the service uses a wireless connection, no cable needs to be installed at the home, while all prices include VAT (PPN).

IRA distributors deliver the customer premises equipment (CPE) and assist with activation. SURGE said every new subscription will be fully activated within a maximum of 2x24 hours after registration.

"Full coverage means exactly that: every household in these ten cities can subscribe to IRA today. Our distributors deliver the unit and help activate it, and we commit that every new subscription is live within a maximum of 2x24 hours of registration. Affordable internet only matters if it actually arrives — that is the promise we are making to these cities," said Shannedy Ong, President Director of PT Telemedia Komunikasi Pratama.

New Customers Get Rp50,000 Monthly Launch Price

New IRA subscriptions in the 10 cities are priced at Rp50,000 per month for the first two months, including VAT.

The first two months must be paid together at sign-up, with a single payment of Rp100,000 covering both months. From the third month, the standard price of Rp100,000 per month, including VAT, applies.

The launch price has no time limit and there is no minimum subscription term. Other launch benefits, including free Vidio content, are available to both existing and new customers.

Vidio Included as TikTok Shop Joins Sales Channels

Every IRA customer, both existing and new, receives free access to the Vidio application. The package includes 44 basic channels of local and global content, plus eight Dedicated Linear Channels from Citra Plus.

The Vidio content remains bundled with the IRA subscription for as long as the customer subscribes.

Customers can subscribe through the IRA website, IRA mobile app, the community-based Sahabat IRA network, IRA sales partners and distributors. TikTok Shop has also been added as a subscription channel, initially for consumers in Surakarta, with a gradual rollout planned for the other cities in the 10-city expansion.

SURGE is also supporting the launch with communication and marketing campaigns in each of the 10 cities. The campaigns combine digital channels, on-the-ground activities and direct community engagement to inform residents about IRA's full citywide availability and launch offer.

Residents can also participate in the expansion through the Sahabat IRA and Rumah Sahabat IRA programmes.

Sahabat IRA is a community-based sales partner programme. Participants who introduce IRA and register new customers receive an activation incentive of Rp35,000 for every new customer who is successfully activated, along with additional rewards and benefits during the programme.

Rumah Sahabat IRA allows homes, shops and other premises to host an IRA radio unit on their rooftops. Hosts receive free internet for the duration of the contract, a site incentive of Rp6,000,000 per year, Rp35,000 for every customer activated through the site and additional rewards during the programme.

Registration and full details are available at the Sahabat IRA platform.

"Expanding the network has to go hand in hand with expanding access to it. That is why residents can now subscribe through TikTok Shop as well as our website, mobile app, Sahabat IRA, sales partners and distributors, and why we are inviting people in these cities to earn with us as Sahabat IRA or by hosting a Rumah Sahabat IRA. IRA grows fastest when the community grows with it," Shannedy Ong added.
