00:39 through its subsidiary, Telkom Sat, will launch a satellite with high throughput satellite technology
00:44 or HTS on February 20, 2024 in Florida or February 21, 2024 in Indonesia.
00:51 The satellite that will become the 11th satellite of Telkom will later be located in the 113-degree
00:57 orbit slot in the eastern hemisphere.
00:59 Telkom's chief director, Priyarik Adrian Syah, said the satellite named Merah Putih 2
01:04 will be launched directly from Cape Canaveral, Florida using the Falcon 9 rocket.
01:09 Currently, the Merah Putih 2 satellite is already in Cape Canaveral and is ready to be launched
01:15 in the near future.
01:16 With a capacity of up to 32 GB/s, the Merah Putih 2 satellite brings an active transponder
01:22 consisting of the frequency of the C band and Q band, which will cover the entire area of ​​Indonesia.
01:27 Previously, Telkom had launched the Merah Putih satellite in 2018 with a location in the
01:32 orbit slot 108BT.
01:34 Priyarik also said the Merah Putih 2 satellite is a hope as well as the commitment of Telkom
01:39 to support connectivity equality throughout Indonesia, equipping the land and sea infrastructure
01:44 it has.
01:45 Telkom believes that with its existence, information access equalization is expected to accelerate
01:50 the digitization of the community in various aspects.

01:59 relies on the Spacebus 4000 B2 platform with a design age of 15 years.
02:04 The development itself involves Teles Alenia Space, which is responsible for manufacturing
02:09 satellite and space as a satellite launch service provider.
02:14 Both companies are big players in the sector and have experience with the previous Telkom
02:19 satellite project.
02:20 Although the Merah Putih 2 satellite has not been launched, the potential business backhaul
02:24 that became the target of this satellite is projected to be positive.
02:28 This can be seen from the enthusiasm of corporate and VSAT operators who want to use the satellite
02:34 service.
