Bitera, a World-Class Data Center, is Present to Foster the Nation’s Digital Economy Growth

Published

on

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bitera, a world-class data center, officially held its Grand Launching on February 27, 2024. The inauguration was attended by several Indonesian government’s high-rank officials, including Bahlil Lahadalia, the Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board, and Erick Thohir, the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN). The presence of these key leaders reflects the strong synergy between the Indonesian Government and the private sector, creating a solid foundation to drive the growth of Indonesia’s digital economy.

“The penetration of data centers in Indonesia is currently still below 1 watt per capita, far compared to neighboring countries like Singapore at 100 watts per capita. As another comparison, the average consumption in Japan reaches 10 watts per capita, indicating that Indonesia still has a lot of room to grow in terms of data center infrastructure,” said Tedy Harjanto, CEO of Bitera.

The low penetration of data centers in Indonesia is in line with data from the Association of Indonesian Internet Service Providers (APJII), which shows that the penetration of Data Centers in Indonesia is one of the lowest in Asia Pacific Region (APAC), at around 0.3 watts per capita. This number is far from the ideal capacity requirement of nearly 840 megawatts (MW) based on the total population. When compared to other ASEAN countries, the data center capacity in Indonesia is only equivalent to approximately 12.7 percent.

“In line with Indonesia’s great potential in developing the digital economy, MMS Group Indonesia sees a significant upside for data centers. We believe Bitera will meet these needs and play a crucial role in supporting Indonesian digital economy development. Bitera’s presence also aligns with the government’s goal to drive the growth of nation’s digital economy through collaboration with the private sector,” said Sendy Greti, CEO of MMS Group Indonesia.

Currently, Indonesia is still lagging behind in data center development compared to the target set for 2030. This is a serious concern, considering the important role of data centers as digital infrastructure in supporting the growth of Indonesia’s digital economy.

Minister of Investment/Head of the Investment Coordinating Board, Bahlil Lahadalia, emphasized that digital infrastructure is the key requirement in the digital transformation of the Indonesian and global economy. Therefore, to achieve this goal, appropriate digital infrastructure is needed.

“Bitera’s presence as a local pride data center represents a significant historical milestone on our nation’s digitalization journey. The presence of Bitera is expected to strengthen the national digital infrastructure in order to help preparing Indonesia to compete on the international stage, empowering MSMEs and startups through access to sophisticated technology,” said Bahlil.

Bitera’s Grand Launching serves as an ideal platform to showcase the synergy between the government agenda and the private sector to shape a solid and sustainable digital future for Indonesia, especially that Bitera is a 100% Indonesian-owned company.

Bitera offers critical IT load capacity of 20 MW with up to 4,000 racks. A Tier-III+ facility, it provides Five9s availability SLA (Service Level Agreement) and stands out as the safest data center in downtown Jakarta. Power reliability is also guaranteed through 2N redundancy supplied from two diversified substations. Recognition of dedication to security standards is reflected in obtained certifications such as ISO 27001 and Uptime Institute TCCD, and TCCF to be obtained by Bitera.

“Bitera leverages its strategic location in proximity to internet exchange points in downtown Jakarta, providing easy access for connecting businesses to the digital ecosystem through interconnections with low latency.” Tedy said.

Delta Development Team and The Good Drone Company Awarded U.S. Army Contract for Aerial Blood Delivery

Published

on

By

TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Delta Development Team (DDT), a leader in prehospital blood storage and cold chain technology, and The Good Drone Company (GDC) have been awarded a U.S. Army contract to develop a drone-based blood delivery capability for the Army Blood Link (ABL) program.

The program is part of the broader Armed Services Blood Program (ASBP), which supplies blood products to U.S. military forces worldwide. Army Blood Link is designed to support battlefield medical logistics through rapid, temperature-controlled delivery of lifesaving blood products to the field, providing an additional resupply option when traditional ground transportation is unavailable, delayed, or unsafe. Under the contract, The Good Drone Company will provide two U.S.-built prototypes of its hybrid vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) cargo drone, each designed to transport up to six units of blood, while DDT will provide the temperature-controlled storage capability through its Delta ICE 2L Smart Blood Cooler.

The companies are combining commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies to create a U.S.-sourced aerial blood delivery system capable of transporting blood directly to the point of need.

To meet ABL program requirements, DDT will supply six Delta ICE 2L Smart Blood Coolers, each designed to maintain two units of blood within the required temperature range for three hours of aerial delivery in high-humidity environments with ambient temperatures ranging from 15°F to 120°F. Built-in temperature monitoring and data recording, along with Bluetooth and cellular connectivity, support cold-chain oversight and blood accountability. The program extends DDT’s blood storage and monitoring capabilities into aerial delivery.

“Getting blood to the point of need is only part of the challenge. It must also remain within the required temperature range throughout the journey,” said Montgomery Leija, CEO of Delta Development Team. “This program brings DDT’s experience in blood storage and cold chain management into a new operational environment, taking the blood supply chain from the ground to the air.”

The prototype system is designed to deliver blood within 10 meters of a designated target during both day and night operations. It will feature a communications range of up to 30 miles and semi-autonomous waypoint navigation. It is intended for single-person operation with minimal training and is built on GDC’s existing commercial cargo drone technology to accelerate development and fielding while meeting U.S.-sourcing requirements.

“We have seen strong interest in middle-mile drones in emerging markets for some time, from both public and private sector customers spanning healthcare to third-party logistics,” said Jake Vander Ploeg, CEO of The Good Drone Company. “This program is a great example of how the military is adopting commercial technology like our cargo drones to quickly test new ideas in the field without starting a full aircraft development program.”

The collaboration combines GDC’s expertise in commercial drone platforms and aerial delivery with DDT’s temperature-controlled blood storage and transport capabilities to support:

Rapid resupply: Delivering blood when conventional ground transportation is unavailable or unsafe.Cold chain protection: Maintaining required blood temperatures during aerial transport.U.S.-sourced capability: Supporting domestic defense supply chain objectives.Accelerated development: Combining GDC’s existing commercial cargo drone technology with DDT’s established blood storage solutions.

The ABL effort addresses the challenge of delivering critical medical supplies in contested and austere environments. When terrain, damaged infrastructure, or tactical conditions prevent conventional resupply, aerial delivery combined with temperature-controlled storage can expand options for getting lifesaving blood products to service members when and where they are needed.
