Common StatementsCommon StatementsAfter Termination of a Development Project ?
ICT Facility is left behind and no longer sustained
Less support from top management ?
Our Human Resources are not ready ?
We have been already implementing Information System Only Buying PCs and Building
LAN?

Existing ConditionsExisting ConditionsLocal Area Network Infrastructure (Fiber Optic, Wireless LAN, UTP
Cable) 100 Mbps
Websites, Management Information System (such as Academic Information System and Library Cataloging and Reservation
System) Most Universities Have Them Running
Congested line to the Internet (128 kbps up to 1 Mbps compared to 100 Mbps LAN) Slow Connection to the Internet
Less ICT-Based Research and Inter-Campus Academic Interactions Insufficient Development of Local Contents
ICT Culture in Campus Growing Demands Result in Less and Less Terminals for Information Access

Proposed SolutionProposed SolutionSingle Gateway to the Internet Connecting the Universities
within two main lands (Sumatera and Kalimantan)
Upgrading the Internet Connection Facility
Upgrading Human Resources and Organizational Functions
Extending the Existing Local Area Network and Terminals
Upgrading Multimedia Content Development Facility
Developing and Sharing Local Contents such as course materials, journals and papers, and inter-library networking

This Internet Exchange Collaboration will involve Eighteen Universities; UNSYIAH, USU, UDA, UMA, UHN, UISU,
UNIMED, UNRI, UNAND, UNP, UNSRI, UNILA, UNTAN, UNLAM, UNPAR, UPB, UVAYA, UNJ
Unila (BBS-Unilanet) will initiate to connect to Internet Backbone through one of Satellite covering Asia, distributing the bandwidth to the U-18iXP via Private VSAT Networking
Others will gathered in a private VSAT Networking (e.g. USU – UNILA) and/or wireless connection (e.g. UNIMED to USU)
Members of the U-18iXP together build and share multimedia course materials among others via the
Established Network.

BenefitsBenefitsSingle Gateway reduced investment and Internet connection cost
An improved and well-maintained system
Collaborative research and Teaching-Learning Process
Outsourcing capacities among the universities
Better Internet Bandwidth
Availability of Local Contents
Local Government will benefit from this scheme through Resource Sharing
Results in Significant Improvement of Quality/Quantity on Research and Graduates
11
Anticipated Problems and StrategyAnticipated Problems and Strategy
Increasing demand on information access terminals and possibility of uncertain policies in ICT development within
the university’s management
Huge internet traffics as a result of inter-university collaboration will lead to more bandwidth consumption
Those sustainability questions can be treated through Tripartite Scheme involving Local Government,
Industry and University
12
Future ThoughtsFuture ThoughtsHigher educations benefit from Information and
Communication Technology given the technology is well-maintained and the support system is well-organized with
a strong and robust database system
Fundamental Idea of Information System and the Internet is involving as many parties as possible owing to its
community-based characteristic
Networking is the basic of the development of ICT
