According to Kominfo, satellite technology is one of the suitable technology options to be adopted to pursue connectivity, especially to cover signal blackspot areas because terrestrial internet access technology is difficult to reach. The SATRIA-1 satellite is expected to be operational in the third quarter of 2023.

“Indonesia’s geographical condition which consists of thousands of islands, mountains, hills, valleys, rivers, canyons, straits, and vast seas with various challenges in providing terrestrial networks is one of the considerations in the choice of satellite technology as a telecommunications solution in a joint effort to reduce the gap in broadband internet access to bridge the digital divide,” said Johhny.

SATRIA-1 is planned to have 11 earth stations/gateways in several locations spread across Indonesia, including Batam, Cikarang, Banjarmasin, Tarakan, Pontianak, Kupang, Ambon, Manado, Manokwari, Timika and Jayapura. Cikarang will be the location for the Primary Satellite Control Center Station, Network Operation Control, and Gateway for the SATRIA Project which is an integral part of the project. SNT is currently in the process of land acquisition for all earth stations which are located in 11 parallel locations.

“The SATRIA-1 Satellite Project is a tangible form of the Ministry of Communication and Informatics’ efforts to provide inclusive and equitable connectivity to all corners of the country, especially in disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost (3T) areas,” continued Minister Johnny.

Meanwhile, Adi Rahman Adiwoso, Director of PSN, said, “This groundbreaking also shows that the obstacles we face, also faced by all economic actors in the Covid-19 pandemic situation, we can overcome so that we can reach this stage. Until now, the construction phase of the satellite and the construction of earth stations for the SATRIA project are still in accordance with the plan. We ask for prayers from all the people of Indonesia, so that the satellite can orbit according to the schedule, which is in 2023,” said Adi Rahman Adiwoso, Director of PSN.
