Nusantara Satu Satellite 146 BT
Nusantara Satu Satellite (PSN VI) is an Indonesian geo-stationary communications satellite (GEO) owned by Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (PSN). This satellite is placed in a position above the equator at 146 east longitude and moves along with the rotation of the earth.
First Broadband Satellite
Nusantara Satu Satellite is Indonesia’s first Broadband Satellite that uses High Throughput Satellite (HTS) technology with a larger bandwidth capacity to provide broadband access services throughout Indonesia.
15 Gbps Capacity
It has a capacity of 26 C-band transponders and 12 Extended C-band transponders as well as 8 Ku-band spot beams with a total bandwidth capacity of up to 15 Gbps, with coverage areas throughout Indonesia.
Made by SSL, Launched by SpaceX
Nusantara Satu was created by Space System Loral (SSL), United States and was launched at Cape Canaveral, United States in February 2019 using a Falcon-9 rocket launcher from the Space-X company.
Indonesia’s geographical location, consisting of thousands of islands, mountains, and remote areas, often makes terrestrial communications infrastructure difficult to reach. Satellites are an effective solution to overcome these challenges.
Providing Internet access in 3T (Underdeveloped, Frontier, Outermost) areas
Supporting connectivity for various sectors such as education, health and defence
Ensuring the availability of communication services throughout Indonesia
The electric propulsion technology used on the Nusantara Satu satellite saves the satellite’s weight by hundreds of kilograms at launch. The use of this technology can also save fuel usage, so that fuel can be used to extend the life of the satellite.
26 C-band
12 Extended C-band
8 Spot beam Ku-band
PSN provides backhaul services for mobile operators, connecting base stations to the core network via satellite.
This service allows for the expansion of cellular network coverage to areas not yet covered by terrestrial infrastructure.
Through the UBIQU service, PSN offers satellite-based broadband internet access with HTS technology.
This service provides speeds of up to 100 Mbps and covers all of Indonesia, including areas without terrestrial network access.
Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (PSN) is the first private satellite company and the biggest satellite operator in Indonesia that owns and operates its own satellite. Started off by providing transponder leasing, PSN has grown into a comprehensive satellite telecommunications provider and satellite-based information and communication services.
