IEEE ComSoc Indonesia Chapter Webinar Series “Selected Topics in Telecommunication”: Session 1

On September 28, 2024, the IEEE ComSoc Indonesia Chapter successfully held its first webinar as part of the “Selected Topics in Telecommunication” series. The webinar was moderated by Shafira and Istiazah, members of the IEEE Student Branch from Telkom University, Indonesia. The event was officially opened by Mr. Muhammad Nasrun, the Vice Chair of IEEE ComSoc Indonesia Chapter, and coordinated by Mr. Firdaus, Ph.D., the technical activity coordinator of this webinar series. The session attracted 116 participants, including industry professionals, lecturers, and students from various universities across Indonesia. This opening session featured distinguished speakers discussing cutting-edge technologies in telecommunications.

The first speaker, Cutifa Safitri, B. CS., M.IT., Ph.D., from President University and an officer of the IEEE ComSoc Indonesia Chapter, delivered an insightful presentation on the topic of “Hybrid Implementation of Information Centric Networking (ICN) in Future Next Generation Networks”. She explored how ICN, which focuses on information rather than data location, can provide faster and more secure data distribution. Her talk highlighted the role of ICN in addressing bandwidth challenges and enhancing efficiency in the evolving landscape of next-generation networks, particularly with the rise of 5G. The second speaker, Dr. Wahyu Pamungkas, S.T., M.T., from Telkom University Purwokerto, discussed “Software Defined Radio (SDR) for Wireless Communications”. He explained how SDR technology enables the dynamic configuration of wireless communication systems via software, making it adaptable to various wireless standards. This flexibility is crucial for supporting the increasing demands of IoT applications and the advanced capabilities of 5G networks.
