Indonesia is preparing advanced telecommunication services, 5G technology, to provide the best service for the internet users. The objective of the research is to find feasible regions in developing 5G technology in Indonesia. The regional selection was carried out by combining Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Composite Performance Index (CPI). Further, the economic feasibility of the selected locations was evaluated using NPV, IRR and PBP technique. The result found that the potential cities to develop the 5G technology in Indonesia were Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung. Economic feasibility evaluations showed that Jakarta and Bandung were the most feasible cities for the first 5G technology development in the future.
