Telkom Indonesia has announced that its subsidiary, Telkomsat, will launch its 11th satellite— the first in its fleet to use High Throughput Satellite (HTS) technology. High Throughput Satellite (HTS) are advanced communication systems that utilize satellites capable of transmitting and receiving data at exceptionally high speeds and capacities. These satellites are equipped with advanced technologies such as multiple spot beams, frequency reuse, and onboard processing capabilities to maximize the efficiency of data transmission. HTS/VHTS systems offer significantly higher data throughput compared to traditional satellites, enabling them to support a wide range of applications including broadband internet access, multimedia content delivery, mobile communication services, and more. They play a crucial role in meeting the growing demand for high-speed and reliable connectivity, especially in areas where terrestrial infrastructure is limited or unavailable.
