        "summary": "The Gunung Rinjani National Park Authority has introduced the Rinjani Beacon smartphone app to monitor hikers' movements in real-time, enhancing safety and service quality for ascents on the iconic volcano in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. This technology, combined with RFID wristbands for group tracking at checkpoints, represents a shift from manual to integrated, tech-based monitoring, with signal infrastructure crucial for continuous coverage. The dual systems are being implemented this climbing season to better manage tourist activities in the protected area.",
        "content": "<p>Mataram (ANTARA) - The Gunung Rinjani National Park (TNGR) Authority\nis implementing an application to track tourists\u2019 movements periodically\nas an effort to improve safety and the quality of climbing services to\nMount Rinjani on Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).<\/p>\n<p>TNGR Authority Head Budhy Kurniawan stated that the smartphone\napplication named Rinjani Beacon is used by all climbers, including\nguides and porters, starting from the check-in process before beginning\nthe climbing activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce they log in, we can detect their movements in the command\ncentre at that moment,\u201d he said when interviewed on the Gerbang\nMendengar Antara podcast in Mataram on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Budhy explained that monitoring based on the Rinjani Beacon\napplication is one of the steps in transforming climbing services, which\npreviously relied on manual methods, into a more integrated and\ntechnology-based system.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, TNGR Authority personnel can monitor climbers\u2019 coordinate\npoints and movements periodically while they are on the Mount Rinjani\nclimbing route.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as the smartphone is on, we can see the moving points. When\nthe phone is off, the coordinate points are not visible, so supporting\ninfrastructure for signal installation becomes very important,\u201d said\nBudhy.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to monitoring climbers\u2019 movements periodically through\nthe Rinjani Beacon application, the TNGR Authority also implements Radio\nFrequency Identification (RFID) wristbands used collectively in each\ngroup of climbers.<\/p>\n<p>The RFID wristbands are connected to several checkpoints prepared\nalong the climbing route. Each time climbers pass and scan, the movement\ndata is immediately recorded and monitored at the control centre located\nat the TNGR Authority Office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are applying these two technologies (Rinjani Beacon and RFID\nwristbands) in this year\u2019s climbing season,\u201d Budhy concluded.<\/p>",
