Gubernur Papua Serahkan 13 unit Vsat Low Orbit (Starlink) di Supiori

SUPIORI - Penjabat Gubernur Papua, Ramses Limbong menyerahkan 13 unit Vsat Low Orbit (Starlink) dalam kunjungan kerjanya di Kabupaten Supiori, Rabu (4/9/2024).

Vsat Starlink diterima Bupati Supiori Yan Imbab, disaksikan Kepala Dinas Komunikasi dan Informatika (Kominfo) Papua Jeri A. Yudianto dan Kepala Bidang TIK Dinas Kominfo Papua Thomas Sibi.

Jeri Yudianto mengatakan penyerahan Vsat sebagai upaya percepatan penetrasi digital yang sementara ini digalakkan Pemprov Papua di seluruh kabupaten. Dimana salah satu Vsat yang diserahan ke Pemda Supiori, nantinya akan terpasang di pulau terluar Mapia. 

Sementara pilihan kepada Starlink, mempertimbangkan kepraktisan dan new teknologi backbone internet yang telah di rilis resmi penjualanya di Indoneseia, pasca pemilik Starlink bertemu Presiden Jokowi, beberapa waktu lalu.

"Starlink ini menawarkan kestabilan internet dalam bentuk bandwith yang cukup besar di 50 Mbps dengan harga bulanan lebih ekonomis untuk ukuran Vsat."

"Disampingi itu, Starlink juga sangat ringan dan praktis dimana hanya lewat proses instalasi, karena pada modemnya terdapat Port LAN dan WI- FI serta langsung bisa digunakan setelah diaktivasi. Tinggal disiapkan acses pointnya, sehingga bisa lebih banyak digunakan oleh user dan radius jangkaun WIFI-nya juga bisa lebih luas," terang dia, Kamis (5/4/2024).

Jeri menambahkan, Vsat saat ini menjadi solusi awal dan cepat untuk daerah dengan geografis ekstrem di Papua yang minim internet saat fixed boardband belum masuk dan M-Selular yang terbatas. ***

SUPIORI - Acting Governor of Papua, Ramses Limbong handed over 13 units of Vsat Low Orbit (Starlink) during his working visit to Supiori Regency, Wednesday (4/9/2024).

The Starlink Vsat was received by the Regent of Supiori Yan Imbab, witnessed by the Head of the Papua Communication and Informatics Service, Jeri A. Yudianto and the Head of the ICT Division of the Papua Communication and Informatics Office, Thomas Sibi.

Jeri Yudianto said that the submission of Vsat is an effort to accelerate digital penetration, which the Papua Provincial Government is currently promoting in all districts. One of the Vsats handed over to the Supiori Regional Government will later be installed on the outermost island of Mapia.

Meanwhile, the choice of Starlink is considering the practicality and new internet backbone technology that has been officially released by its sellers in Indonesia, after the owner of Starlink met President Jokowi, some time ago.

"This Starlink offers internet stability in the form of a large bandwidth at 50 Mbps at a more economical monthly price for the size of Vsat."

"Besides that, Starlink is also very light and practical where it only goes through the installation process, because the modem has a LAN and WI-FI port and can be used immediately after activation. It only needs to be prepared for the access point, so that it can be used more by users and the radius of the WIFI range can also be wider," he explained, in a release received by the editor, Thursday (5/4/2024).

Jeri added, Vsat is currently an early and fast solution for areas with extreme geography in Papua that have minimal internet when a fixed board brand has not yet entered and M-Cellular is limited. ***
