Ismail, Director General of Postal Resources and Information Equipment at the Indonesian Ministry of Communications and Information, said that SATRIA-1's service will be free and 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.
