Indosat has announced its new flagship environmental preservation program, Jaga Raya, which is harnessing the power of the Internet of Things (IoT) and innovative digital solutions to miontor and safeguard ecosystems. Under the programe Indosat is working with five prominent universities—Universitas Pattimura, Universitas Tadulako, Universitas Diponegoro, Universitas Syiah Kuala, and Universitas Borneo Tarakan—to conduct research and develop sustainable, context-specific solutions.
One example is a real-time IoT-based water quality monitoring system at silvofishery ponds—an integrated aquaculture model that combines fish farming with ecosystem rehabilitation. This automated monitoring system empowers communities to maintain water quality sustainably, increase pond productivity, and enhance ecosystem protection. Beyond environmental benefits, this innovation strengthens local economic resilience, providing a practical model ready to be adapted in other regions and sectors.

As an IoT Solution Orchestrator, Indosat has developed state-of-the-art IoT solutions to monitor and preserve pond ecosystems. Utilizing IoT sensors, the system continuously tracks critical environmental parameters such as water quality, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and temperature. The real-time data collection enables ongoing ecosystem monitoring, facilitating early detection of potential issues and prompt mitigation efforts.

This research collaboration demonstrates that technological innovations like IoT are not merely tools but vital bridges connecting scientific knowledge with tangible solutions to address local environmental and economic challenges. The implementation of the silvofishery pond monitoring system in partnership with Indosat serves as a sustainable transformation model that can be broadly adopted, strengthening ecosystem resilience and significantly empowering communities.
