Boeing recently completed the handover of Satelit Nusantara Lima (SNL) to customer Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (PSN), transferring operational control of the satellite that will expand reliable connectivity across Indonesia and neighboring southeast Asian countries.
- This follows the satellite’s successful launch in September 2025.
- PSN marked the handover with a ceremony in Indonesia on May 11.
Why it matters: Boeing and Indonesia boast a more than 75-year partnership, jointly supporting the development of the country’s aerospace, aviation and defense capabilities. The handover is a milestone not only for PSN, Indonesia and surrounding nations, but also for Boeing’s strong presence in the region.
“The commencement of Nusantara Lima satellite services becomes a historic moment for the national satellite industry, marking a step forward in mastering space technology and strengthening Indonesia’s sovereignty,” said Adi Rahman Adiwoso, president director of PSN. “Thanks to the hard work, support, and collaboration of all partners, Satelit Nusantara Lima is ready to provide equal connectivity for the people, thus enabling digital transformation in the country.”
SNL will provide reliable connectivity to support everyday tasks for students in rural schools, employees in clinics and hospitals, small businesses, disaster response teams, and maritime operators and travelers.
- “Handing over SNL to PSN marks significant progress for improved connectivity in southeast Asian countries,” said Ryan Reid, president of Boeing Satellite Systems International. “I’m proud of our team for delivering this state-of-the-art capability to PSN and continuing Boeing’s longstanding history in Indonesia to improve connectivity through satellite communications.”
