This event was attended by Dr. Levy Olivia Nur S.T., M.T. (Deputy Dean 1 of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering), Kamelia, S.T., M.Sc, Ph.D (Head of the Telecommunication Engineering Undergraduate Study Program) and Dr. Ir. Agus Achmad Suhendra, M.T. (Director of Telkom University Jakarta). In this webinar, the first two speakers were presented, namely Prof. Dr. Alyani Ismail (Professor – Communications Engineering, University Putra Malaysia) and the second resource person, Ir. Fadli Hamsani (GM Enterprise Solution Management – Telkomsel).

In his speech, the Director of Telkom University Jakarta, Dr. Ir. Agus Achmad Suhendra, M.T., said that this webinar event was a good collaboration between two different faculties, namely the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FTE) and the Faculty of Industrial Engineering (FRI). This is a manifestation of the culture of Harmony within the framework of Telkom University. In accordance with the theme of IoT For Societal Good, this is an interesting and relevant theme associated with the context of the industrial era 4.0 where one of the technologies that supports industry 4.0 is IoT (Internet of Things) and currently we are also in the era of Society 5.0 where the entire community is connected to all digital services that can be easily accessed via smartphones.

Next, Deputy Dean 1 of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mrs. Dr. Levy Olivia Nur S.T., M.T. said that attending this event could be a place to increase knowledge and develop soft skills for students in the IoT field.

Entering the main event is the presentation of material from Prof. Dr. Alyani Ismail as Professor – Communication Engineering, University Putra Malaysia who explained about “Wearable Antenna For Well-Being”. In this increasingly advanced digital era, antenna technology has developed rapidly and has had a positive impact on various aspects of human life, including in the health sector, showing potential in supporting human health. We can create a remote health monitoring system, which allows patients to monitor their health conditions in real-time and provide accurate medical data to healthcare professionals.

Next, the second speaker was Ir. Fadli Hamsani as GM Enterprise Solution Management – Telkomsel explained about “IoT: Implementation & Use Cases in Industry”. IoT (Internet of Things) has revolutionized the industry with its wide implementation and diverse use cases. The integration of connected devices, sensors, and data analysis has enabled companies to optimize operations, and increase efficiency. In various sectors, IoT is facilitating the predictive maintenance industry by monitoring equipment health in real time, reducing downtime and costs. As industries continue to embrace IoT, the potential for innovation and transformation across sectors remains limitless.
