APJATEL Ready To Launch The Concept Of A National Joint Pole To Overcome Semerawut Cables
BANDUNG - At the end of July. The Telecommunications Service Providers Association (APJATEL) held a simulation and draft of the Concept of the Joint Pole Design of APJATEL, to tidy up fiber cables that are chaotic on the streets.
As a follow-up to the joint pole concept, APJATEL Chairman Jerry Mangasas Swandy said that they would release the concept nationwide no later than Q2 next year.
"So the pattern is if the aerial cables to the planting cables are probably in the inner city, big cities. Because it is a bit difficult if we use poles because maybe we talk about aesthetics and so on," explained Jerry after the 79th Bhakti Postel Day Commemoration Ceremony at the Head Office of PT Pos Indonesia in Bandung on Friday, September 27.
As for the concept of a joint pole, it will most likely be prepared in buffer areas in satellite cities such as West Bandung, so as not to interfere with utilization.
Furthermore, because it costs a lot of money and requires equal views between the central and regional governments, Jerry is not targeting exactly when the work will be completed.
However, he said the local government's (Pemda) response to the concept of the Joint Pole of APJATEL was very positive. What's more, many people have been victims of chaotic cables on the road.
"It is highly anticipated (the concept of a joint pole by the local government). There were several communications that came into me directly. This morning I also got WA from the Head of Public Works Office of Batam," he said further.

With this concept, APJATEL will provide several types, such as type A, B, and C, which in its implementation will later be adjusted to conditions in the region taking into account the space provided in the field, what costs are needed, and what the functional side will be.
"So type A has one angle that looks like drying. Type B has two angles, or two layers. Some are even spiral shapes. Maybe it can be seen. There are various methods," he said.
