Kerjasama Strategis Sistem Vsat Dalam Teknologi Informasi Perusahaan: Kasus Infocom, Rafdian Rasyid

Online Journal of Space Communication

Apakah VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminals) bisa menjadi sistem pendukung bagi teknologi informarsi (TI) perusahaan? Atau, dapatkah VSAT memainkan peran strategis yang penting dalam mendukung bisnis?

Sangat jelas bahwa di Indonesia VSAT merupakan infrastruktur yang mutlak keberadaanya. Tidak dapat disangkal bahwa sampai saat ini Indonesia belum memiliki prasarana terestrial yang dapat mencakup daerah-daerah terpencil, bahkan kadang-kadang juga daerah metropolitan. Hanya VSAT-lah yang dapat menjangkaunya. Namun, hubungan apa yang dapat kita tarik antara eksistensi VSAT-VSAT dan teknologi informasi dalam lingkungan suatu perusahaan? Artikel ini mencoba menjawab hal itu. Kemudian, penulis akan membahas tantangan-tantangan apa yang dihadapi oleh operator-operator VSAT, serta pemecahan …

Strategic Alignment Of Vsat System In Corporate It: Infokom's Case, Rafdian Rasyid

Online Journal of Space Communication

Can VSATs play a significant strategic role in terms of supporting businesses? Can VSATs support corporate IT?

It is obvious that in Indonesia, VSAT is a must have infrastructure for business. Nobody can argue that Indonesia up to now does not have terrestrial infrastructures that can cover remote areas or even metropolitan areas. Only VSATs can reach them. However, what link can we make between the existence of VSATs and IT in the corporate environment? This article attempts to answer that. We will also discuss challenges faced by VSAT operators, and solutions that can be applied.

Indonesia's Vsat Industry And Role Of Csm Today And In The Future, Gregorius Parlindungan Hutahaean

Distance Education Via Satellite: An Early Case Study Of The Indonesian Distance Education Satellite System, Willard D. Shaw

Online Journal of Space Communication

In 1980, the U.S. Agency for International Development initiated the AID Rural Satellite Program (RSP) to explore the potential of telecommunications as a means of extending scarce expert resources and expanding educational opportunities to remote and rural areas. Building on simple, interactive, and inexpensive telephone-based technologies, the Program developed teleconferencing systems for use as a development tool. Three pilot projects-in Indonesia, the West Indies, and Peru-were implemented to test and demonstrate that audioteleconferencing could reliably and affordably support development activities in education, health and agriculture.

In Indonesia and the West Indies, distance education programs were established with national universities. Linking …

Regulatory Reform: In The Land Of The 'Coffeenet', Martin Jarrold

Online Journal of Space Communication

Sitting down to write this article at a desk some 30 miles south of central London, and less than one degree west of the Greenwich meridian, I became immediately more conscious than usual of geography. The frequently interwoven use of such western-centric cartographic labels as Middle East, and Far East, with the geographically more precise terms of Western or Central Asia, and East and South-East Asia, sometimes causes us to confuse the actual proximity of Europe's, much larger, near-neighbour.

Online Journal of Space Communication

For Africa, and for the economy of the whole planet, those hundreds of millions of people across the continent who are currently denied reasonable access to even simple voice service represent a vast untapped pool of creativity. This very large and potentially very powerful economic dynamo demands access to more than the simplest tools of communication, and requires the means to unleash the potential productivity of its own knowledge-base into an increasingly connected world. The International Telecommunications Union acknowledges this, as does its sister organisation, the United Nations. The Global VSAT Forum enjoins you to acknowledge it too.

Developing countries are actively implementing satellite data networks, and have undertaken policy reforms to facilitate such networks. This research examines how regulatory changes have resulted in the removal of barriers relating to the deployment of access technologies and growth in connectivity, especially in VSAT installations for low cost Internet access. In addition, this research seeks to identify the socio-economic impact of emerging data network applications in government, business, health and education. In some cases, government offices have been the driver of change; in other cases, businesses have been the ones to initiate and press these developments forward.

Satellite Security And Performance In An Era Of Dual Use, Joseph N. Pelton

Online Journal of Space Communication

Since the mid-1990s the U.S. Government and military forces have placed more and more reliance on commercial satellite systems for military communications of a non-tactical nature. Requirements such as the U.S. Armed Forces Radio and Television require a great deal of bandwidth but do not require any special security protection. Further there are many other forms of communications involving national security or defense systems where a varying degree of security is required. Many of these applications do not require a very high level of "top secret" protection since these communications do involve tactical, strategic or highly classified messages. For instance, …
