One of the focus areas of the study in the National Development Strategic Policy is the field of focusing on information and communication technology and poured in the research agenda National (ARN) 2015 à ¢ â,¬â € œ 2019. The Ministry of Communication and Information is a direct-related institution at the same time play an active role in encouraging research and development activities in the field of technology and information. The research we will do is one part (theme) of Telecommunication and information focus fields. One of the National Problems in Telecommunications which has not been resolved in Indonesia as an archipelago is concerning connectivity users who are in remote areas (rural) and or communication connections Areas when natural disasters occur. Communication or avoidance of users into Network is an important requirement. Even if it is associated with an economic potential Business or economic actors A region, this can be a catalyst or accelerance The achievement of economic development. The research to be carried out is to build and develop a system Use a vehicle in the air that can be deployed for small in the telecommunications infrastructure. The benefits are primarily for communication infrastructure in the rural areas that are not yet affordable Telecommunications, in areas affected by disaster where existing communication infrastructure is cut off, or In urban areas as a complement to existing infrastructure. The development of this system involves two The main segment is the air segment in the form of a vehicle / balloon that can carry communication devices And the land segment is a computer or smart phone as a user. In the first year Research, air rides will be designed (balloons) to be able to lift the load (payload) Communication and batteries / Solar panels for power supply to the device. In the second year it will Designing more than one vehicle (air balloon) so that communication can occur vehicle to enlarge coverage or signal coverage. The third year integration will be carried out this air vehicle system with existing systems such as interconnection with cellular networks Through OpenBTS. The purpose of this study is in order to respond to problems while meeting needs Will the means of communication that occur in remote or disaster areas. Besides that the system will developed can be a solution to expand coverage tower / BTS when facing The difficulty of Medan to hold a tower. This technology is made to have communication skills Interwesign (Over the Sky Communication) form a mesh network (Mesh Network) in the air In mendeliver services both sound and internet data. Also planned in this study Wahana will be developed that has good ability in terms of stability, resilience against weather, simple, alternative power supply, cost efficient, convenience in deploy, and interconnection with existing networks. Application that might be done with the system What will be built includes radio communication, internet connection, tele-medicine, and Earth shooting from the air. The overall research that we submit will be carried out in 3 stages (3 years). Activities in the year First is the development of the model, the selection of vehicle technology whether using microdrone or Baloon, the development of air vehicles / balloons that meet targeted criticimes, and experiments measuring communication quality. In the second year, research activities will focused on improving the vehicle model that has been made to be more perfect in terms of Stability, capability, robustness, communication development between rides (Sky Station Communication), as well as antenna design for inter-platform communication. In the third year, Research is focused on developing vehicle capacity for heavier loads, Application development, as well as services that can be deployed through this air drafts infrastructure. The expected out of research for 3 years is to produce a prototype Air vehicle technology (High Altitude Platform Station) that is easily deployed and at a cost which is efficient as an alternative solution for telecommunications infrastructure. Besides that other outputs Targeted is the publication and dissemination of scientific work on international proceedings and journals.
