BRI deputy director Sunarso mentioned that the satellite has 36 C-band transponders and nine Ku-band transponders. According to him, C-band is reliable in bad weather.
"C-band is very suitable for financial transactions," Sunarso told Metrotvnews.com in Jakarta, Sunday (6/19/2016).
Meanwhile, the Ku-band is for audio visual data. Sunarso revealed BRI eyes audio visual-based banking services in the future.
"If we combine (C-band and Ku-band), it will have tremendous potential, we can provide various banking services including audio visual-based banking services," he elaborated.
