About the Project
Indonesia’s diverse geography presents significant challenges for data communications. Many remote areas lack reliable terrestrial infrastructure, making satellite communication essential.
Solution: MobileVSAT AutoPointing
Arkhara designed and built a mobile VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) with automatic satellite tracking, simplifying deployment in remote areas:
Key Innovation: Automatically points to designated satellite without manual setup — eliminating complex installation procedures.
Technical Specifications
- Local Content: ~90% locally manufactured hardware and software
- Portability: Mobile deployment ready
- Intelligence: Automated satellite acquisition and tracking
- Reliability: Designed for harsh tropical conditions
Impact
This is Indonesia’s own satellite communication product, developed with strong local expertise. It:
- Eliminates deployment complexity
- Reduces installation time and costs
- Brings connectivity to previously unreachable areas
- Demonstrates Indonesia’s capability in advanced telecommunications
Market Significance
By creating a locally-manufactured solution, Arkhara helped establish Indonesia’s technological sovereignty in satellite communications, reducing dependence on imported systems while creating local expertise and employment.
