To provide information about Narrow Band Satellite IoT (NB-S-IoT) technology, and to learn new technologies, Telkomsat with the IEEE AES/GRSS and Telkom University (Tel-U) held a workshop entitled "Narrow Band Satellite-IoT Standard" which was held virtually on July 23 - 24, 2021.

This training was held for 2 days, attended by more than 200 participants and presented 7 professional speakers who are experts in the satellite and IoT fields, one of which is Telkomsat Operations Director - Anggoro K. Widiawan, Ph.D.

Starting his presentation, he said that the satellite industry is an industry that requires multi-disciplinary skills and mastery, starting from mastery of the aerospace environment, mechanics, control, actuators and sensors, antennas and radio frequency, electronics, energy, chemical and fuel, software and operating systems, regulations and standards, and others.

Furthermore, he explained about the Satellite Constellation Networks which are very relevant to NB-IoT. "There are many things to do before making satellites, one of which we have to determine the objectives. In this case, the objective for Narrow Band Satellite IoT needs to consider the scope and reliability of the service, and whether real-time or not with very limited resources both in terms of frequency bands and energy needs" said Anggoro.

In this workshop, the resource persons informed the participants to recognize and learn about current trends related to Low Earth Orbit and the technical aspects of Satellite Constellation Networks, the definition of network constellations and their relationship to Satellite IoT. In addition, participants are also invited to know the basics of the Internet of Things (IoT) and also about the shift in the working frequency of satellites. In addition, the participants were also given knowledge about the basics of the Internet of Things (IoT) and also about the movement of satellite frequencies.

With this event, Telkomsat hopes to provide knowledge related to Satellite & IoT technology, and hopes that the material presented can encourage the creation of new innovations in the future.
