Satellite Signal Strength Testing on Communication Devices in Indonesia's Remote and Underserved Areas Using ACM and MIMO Techniques for Clear Audio-Visual Quality

This study aims to evaluate the satellite signal strength on communication devices in Indonesia’s Remote and Underserved Areas, particularly in the 3T regions (Tertinggal, Terdepan, and Terluar). These areas are characterized by challenging geographical, social, economic, and cultural conditions that hinder development compared to other regions in Indonesia. To address the challenges of maintaining clear audio-visual quality in these remote regions, this research utilizes Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) techniques. ACM dynamically adjusts the coding and modulation of the signal based on the received signal strength, optimizing transmission quality even in fluctuating conditions. Meanwhile, MIMO leverages multiple antennas for both signal transmission and reception, improving reliability and reducing interference, leading to clearer communication signals. Field tests were conducted in several 3T areas to measure the impact of these technologies on communication device performance, particularly in terms of clarity of audio and video. Preliminary results indicate that the use of ACM and MIMO significantly enhances signal strength and reduces latency, thereby improving overall communication quality. This study provides valuable insights into optimizing communication technologies for underserved and remote areas in Indonesia, offering practical solutions for bridging the digital divide and improving access to reliable communication services in 3T regions.
