The communication system of wireless data communications technology, or wide band
broadband wireless access (BWA) WiMAX can be enjoyed in
limited. Not long before the public can enjoy internet services
This cheap and good quality.
As disclosed information technology experts, Onno W. Purbo, in
seminars and workshops on WiMAX at the Nation Institute of Technology Expectations
(ITHB) Bandung, Saturday (6 / 2), members of the Indonesian Amateur Radio Organisation
(ORARI) can enjoy this sophisticated communications technology.
"Today Wimax is already used, ie by the operator the winning bidder, also
ORARI. ORARI members may wear this as long as there is no channel operator
who use them. Thus, the use by ORARI secondary nature, "
Onno said in the seminar.
According to him, the use of Wimax by the members of this is legitimate because ORARI
regulated by law. For members ORARI, is certainly to be heard
happy. That's because until now has not operated officially Wimax
commercially in Indonesia.
"Which is more profitable, operators must pay a Rp 100 billion to
government to be able to operate WiMAX. Well, maximum flexibility, in ORARI enough
pay USD 50 000 per year for membership only. Anyone interested? "
he said the majority of participants who made these students more curious
with the advantages of Wimax.
On this occasion, the organizers invited PT Daya Tunggal Hariff
Engineering as one of the WiMAX vendors in the country to perform
Wimax demo workings. In this demo from the employee explaining Hariff
stages, from the installation of customer premise equipment (CPE), which means
white box-shaped measuring about 20 x 20 cm, which will be owned
consumers, then setting up Wimax configuration with a virtual tool
LAN, up to how direct the CPE signal to the base station (base
transmission).
Although the estimated price of WiMAX access service is much cheaper than
cellular telephone service or other Internet connection system, he asked
people do not get your hopes up high for the quality network.
Reality-speed data access in WiMAX service is only 70-10 megabytes per
second (mbps). In fact, previous digembor rant, access speed
Wimax 50-70 mbps. "In Hariff, capability of the device can actually achieve that
(70 mbps), but the government limits. Maybe think our society
too shallow (read: simple) use it only for chat and
Facebook, "she said a little joke.
Direct Impressions
With this condition, he doubted could be quite sufficient for Wimax services
multimedia. On this occasion ITHB Information Technology lecturer, stumps
Arif Nugroho, had great hopes will be Wimax.
"With WiMAX, then we, the public, can directly present the news
live (direct) considering a large network and good quality. Not
longer need to use satellite news gathering (SNG) that are expensive and
possesses only television station that, "he said.
However, he is optimistic the presence of Wimax technology will accelerate
growth of industrial technology manufacturing industries in the country. "Wimax
has so far been delayed awaiting the Homeland industry. Contents
in the country's required minimum of 40 percent, "he said. (jon)
