Deputy Minister of Communication and Information, Nezar Patria, ensured that the internet network during the XXI National Sports Week (PON) in Aceh and North Sumatra (North Sumatra) ran smoothly, including the 5G network.

According to Nezar, telecommunications operators and the organizers have installed various supporting infrastructures, including fiber optic networks and devices that support 4G and 5G technology, at certain points.

"We make sure the communication infrastructure network goes well. We make sure the 5G network runs quite well, especially in the media centers and venues that hold sports," said Nezar during the inauguration of the XXI Aceh-North Sumatra PON Media Center 2024 quoted in his official broadcast on InfoPublik.

According to him, a smooth internet network is needed to support the performance of the media covering the event. In addition to the internet network, Kominfo has also collaborated with the Cyber Bareskrim Polri and the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) regarding cybersecurity during the XXI PON.

"Especially to protect participant data, spectators and the public who access digital services during PON," he added.

The Ministry of Communication and Informatics has opened media centers in two locations, namely at the Hermes Hotel, Banda Aceh, and Hotel Horison Diandra in Medan to support the work of journalists in the coverage of the XXI PON event.

The media center has also started operating on September 8-21, 2024. Nezar hopes that this will support the work of media crews to cover XXI PON.
