We did it! Palembang Point of Interconnection(POI) survey. Well actually we will open POI for all sub-region(Palembang, Lampung, Jambi and Padang). But since I can't leave Palembang, so Palembang POI will do.
What is POI for? Basically it's an interconnection point between operators. So in this case is between HCPT and Telkom for PSTN call. The dimension itself is quite big, we need STM-1 for this interconnection.
So it's for other operators as well? Yes....so we will have POI to other operators(Tsel, XL, Isat, Mob-8, BTel, etc). But Telkom get the priority since call to PSTN is one of the points for Uji Layak Operasi(ULO) from DGPT(Directorate General of Postal and Telecommunication).
What POI indicates? It means that we're getting closer to... *blink*... just wait for the date. Won't miss it though. Marketing people are preparing their campaign.
What else... well I wouldn't miss the chance to look at really running equipment. Well honestly I'm still green in this communication field, but there wow...found TransExpress, HiT 7050, and also Alcatel radio equipment.
Not to mention people from different operators: Mobile-8, Bakrie Telecom, and Sinar Mas Telecom. Wow.. Palembang will get more crowded these months.
