Monday (19/04) – Electrical Engineering Department of Universitas Pelita Harapan held a workshop titled “4G: LTE, WiMAX II, or Else? Technologies, Regulations, and Opportunities” at MYC Multipurpose Room, UPH Lippo Village Campus. This workshop was held under the coordination of UPH and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) of Indonesia, a world-class association that aims to advance the technology.

A message from UPH Rector Jonathan Parapak was for technology personnel to also pay attention to content as well. “The advanced technology is no doubt something good for human beings, but contents are also no less important since sophisticated technology would be useless if only used for negative things. The impact of the technology itself should be devoted to the welfare of society,” he said in the speech.

Information technology is growing fast each day. Now maybe we are familiar with the term 3G or even 3.5G for the latest one of data transmission process through internet. However, soon we will be dazzled by 4G technology, which has the speed up to 100MB/sec for uploading and 1GB/sec for downloading.

All of this was discussed in the workshop that presented five speakers who are competent in their respective field. Ihan Martoyo from UPH discussed “4G: It Is Not What You Think”, H. Arief Gunawan from Telkom and IEEE with the topic “LTE: The Technology Details”, Hadi Hariyanto from Telkom and IEEE on “WiMAX II: Technology and Challenges”, Denny Setiawan from UI on “4G Policy and Regulatory Challenges”, and Kusuma Lienandjaja from Ericsson Indonesia with the topic “Business Opportunities with 4G.” (cyn)
