Intelsat, Lintasarta expand mobile network coverage in remote areas of Indonesia
Intelsat, an integrated satellite and terrestrial network and inflight connectivity (IFC) provider, has joined forces with Lintasarta, an Indonesian information and communication technology company, to bring broadband connectivity to remote areas in Indonesia.
Nearly 400 sites, across Central and Western Indonesia including Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara have received broadband connectivity with Intelsat’s help using cellular backhaul.
“Indonesia’s unique array of topography makes satellite the best option for service. Pairing Intelsat satellites in a hybrid network solution proves to be the best real-world solution to provide countrywide coverage for different population densities,” says Gaurav Kharod, regional vice president of Intelsat, Asia Pacific. “Intelsat understands Lintasarta’s specific requirements and can craft a niche advantage for them to maximise existing hardware platforms to effectively provide the connectivity needed.”
“Intelsat has been and continues to be our trusted partner. The partnership has always allowed us to quickly deploy and expand network coverage wherever it’s needed in Indonesia. Tens of thousands of households will receive first-ever connectivity and benefit from digital connectivity,” says Zulfi Hadi, marketing and solution director, Lintasarta.
