The Ministry of Communication and Information Technology has successfully conducted a trial of the integration and activation of the Republic of Indonesia's Satellite (SATRIA-1) in six locations, namely Manokwari, Jayapura, Ambon, Batam, Kupang, and Banjarbaru.

"From Jayapura, how is the signal okay? Then where else do you come from? From Jayapura is good, right? From Kupang? Where else is it far away, from the islands? How is it from Manokwari? Is this still a test, Mrs. Indah, Mrs. President?" Budi said in his official broadcast.
President Director of PT PSN, Adi Rahman Adiwoso said that the implementation of the SATRIA-1 trial stage was part of the test for feasibility of operation, and was expected to be completed before the end of December.
