PAPUA - The Communication and Information Office (Kominfo) of Jayapura Regency, Papua said, there were nine Base Transceiver Station (BTS) towers belonging to Indosat that experienced disturbances in the area. Head of the Jayapura Kominfo Service, Gustav Griapon, said that the disruption of Indosat signal access was felt directly by people in several villages. "When we monitored BTS to Yonsu Spare Village, Ravenirara District, then Doromena Village and Tapase Depapre District, it turned out that they had difficulty getting access to information caused by disruptions to towers," he said in Sentani, Antara, Tuesday, May 9. According to Gustav, there are nine Non-Disadvantaged, Frontier and Outermost BTS (N3T) towers facilitated by the Director General of Posts and Information of the Ministry of Communication and Informatics and his party has only carried out monitoring in three towers in three villages. "Furthermore, we will monitor the six other Indosat N3T BTS towers, to ensure the condition of the site facilitated by the Director General of Posts and Information of the Ministry of Communications and Informatics at the Indosat propagator towers," he said. He explained that the monitoring tower was well received by the public and was open in explaining the conditions of the sites and services felt since the Indosat tower in the village. "In principle, the village community really appreciates the construction of the Indosat BTS tower to make it easier to access information," he said. He added that the Indosat N3T BTS tower was built since August 2022 and has been running actively, but since it was built it has only been two months since the public enjoyed access to information after the signal disappeared. "After we get input from the community at the existing nine sites, later we will have a meeting with Indosat providers to find solutions to the obstacles and disturbances that have occurred so far," he said again.
