So this week we planned, arranged, and carried out the event titled IEEE Day Lectures on LTE Development. The event was organised by the IEEE Indonesia Section and the IEEE Comsoc Indonesia Chapter, supported by IEEE Student Branch University of Indonesia and IEEE Student Branch Telkom Institute of Technology.

The venue was at @America. @America is a public room owned and managed by the US Embassy in Jakarta. Located in a business centre just in the centre of Jakarta, it is a high-technology cultural centre where people can explore, experience, and express their interests in fresh and exciting ways. In its physical and virtual spaces, the visitors can experience cool and cutting-edge technology, interactive games, and live events designed to generate interest and create communities.

In 2009-2010, the Comsoc Chapter has carried out a series of lectures, seminars, and technical meetings discussing the aspects of 4G Mobile Networks. In 2011, some network providers have started to implement some of the technologies discussed. The IEEE Day Lectures was to start the discussion of current implementation of technologies related to 4G Mobile in Indonesia. It commenced a series of discussion about many aspects, including the LTE Deployement, WiMAX positioning, IPTV implementation over 4G, cognitive radio, policies on spectrum, context-aware applications, etc.

The IEEE Day Lectures itself presented the speakers:

1. Kuncoro Wastuwibowo, Introduction to IEEE, and 4G Mobile Technology
2. Anto Sihombing, Digital Video Broadcast over LTE Network
3. Hazim Ahmadi, Lesson Learnt from LTE Trial in Indonesia
4. Arief Hamdani Gunawan, Regulatory and Industry Aspects of LTE

The aim is to update the public about the development of LTE, which is previously introduced in our lecture and seminar series titled Opening The Gate to 4G Mobile Networks. The lecture offered to inform the public about the current implementation of LTE in Indonesia, its regulatory and industrial aspects, its planned and projected applications, etc.

• Venue: @America, Pacific Place Level 3, Jakarta
• Date: Thursday, October 6th 2011
• Time: 18:45 – 20.45 (UCT+7)

Speakers:

1. Kuncoro Wastuwibowo, Introduction to IEEE, and 4G Mobile Technology
2. Anto Sihombing, Updates from LTE Forum
3. Hazim Ahmadi, Lesson Learnt from LTE Trial in Indonesia
4. Arief Hamdani Gunawan, Regulatory and Industry Aspects of LTE

The event is opened for public, freely.
