PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk (PT Telkom) has finally completed the migration of connectivity from the Telkom 1 satellite, declared lost last month. A total of 15,019 antenna point connections have been restored. This comprises 11,574 Automated Teller Machine (ATM) antenna points and 3,445 non-ATM points.
In resolving the satellite connection migration, 81 percent of points utilized a solution redirecting parabolic antennas to other satellites. 14 percent used a machine utilization system, and the remainder employed fiber optic technology. Although the transition process is complete, some ATM services are still experiencing issues and require resetting due to the connection disruption.
The satellite, launched in 1999 and orbiting at 108 degrees East Longitude, experienced an anomaly causing antenna pointing deviation. This resulted in thousands of banking ATMs going offline and disruptions to national television broadcasts at the end of August.
