Ismail, Director General of Postal Equipment, Resources and Information at the Indonesian Ministry of Communications and Information, said that the SATRIA-1 service will be free of charge and will complement the existing telecommunications infrastructure by providing direct connection to Internet terminals without the need for base transceiver stations (BTS). With 11 ground stations, SATRIA-1 will mainly provide Internet access for public services, focusing on education, health care, local governments, military and police in remote areas. The total cost of the SATRIA-1 project is up to 540 million USD, 90 million USD higher than the initial estimate.
