Indosat to install 100 hotspots<\/p>\n
YOGYAKARTA: In its bid to provide Internet users with much higher
\naccess speeds, PT Indosat Mega Media (or Indosat M2), which
\nprovides Internet and multimedia services, has planned to install
\nsome 100 hotspots throughout the country this year alone.<\/p>\n
Indosat M2 sales and marketing director Dede Rusnandar
\nrevealed the company's plans here over the weekend, during the
\nlaunch of the first hotspot that the company has built in
\nYogyakarta.<\/p>\n
\"We currently have about 30 hotspots across Indonesia. Some
\n100 to 150 will be added every year in public places, including
\nhotels and education institutions,\" Dede told The Jakarta Post on
\nthe sidelines of the launch.<\/p>\n
Of the 30 hotspots, most are in Jakarta. The rest are in
\nBandung, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, Bali, Batam, Medan,
\nMakasar, Balikpapan, and Manado. Indosat M2 first introduced the
\nfacility in August last year.<\/p>\n
Hotspots are wireless, broadband, Internet facilities using
\nWiFi or wireless fidelity technology, which can provide high-
\nspeed Internet access of up to 11 megabytes per second (mbps).<\/p>\n
This compares favorably with dial-up Internet connections,
\nwhich mostly have a speed of only about 50 kilobytes per second
\n(kbps).<\/p>\n
\"Within an area with the WiFi facility, users of a notebook or
\nPDA that has a WiFi card can enjoy extremely high-speed Internet
\naccess,\" said Dede, adding that the main objective in providing
\nthe facility was to offer customers wireless, high-speed Internet
\naccess any time, anywhere. --JP<\/p>",
