Leap through ANTARES actively supports digitization in the health ecosystem, one of which is by collaborating with two state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the health sector, namely Kimia Farma and Bio Farma. ANTARES' collaborates with Kimia Farma for smart manufacturing, in which ANTARES develops the power monitoring systems, environment monitoring, and real-time machine monitoring. Adopting the IoT system could improve production efficiency and save production costs.

ANTARES also cooperates with Bio Farma for vaccine distribution, especially to remote areas. Through this collaboration, both companies can guarantee vaccine stocks are fulfilled with the aim of reducing cases, which eventually could contribute to reducing the number of Covid cases in Indonesia.

Although the standards are international and independent of network and connectivity, this service provides a choice of free services for developers.

ANTARES customers have full control over the measurement data from the device, so that users can perform control schemes, subscribe, and get notification of device data. Customers can also perform simple data visualization with the widget feature.

Telkom Digital Business Director Muhamad Fajrin Rasyid said that Telkom through Leap regards IoT as a very potential ecosystem and the IoT market in Indonesia would still grow. "Therefore, we developed ANTARES hoping that in the future it will become a platform that can provide answers and solutions for IoT needs.

Through ANTARES, Leap is committed to creating reliable, trusted IoT platform services, and providing satisfying IoT operations and customer experiences for customers. This is in accordance with the government's plan for digitizing Indonesia, by advancing the national industry in the era of Indonesia 4.0 and prioritizing the required IoT platform features.
