A Telkom Indonesia satellite providing C-band and Ku-band services for Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Telkom-3S replaced the Telkom-3 satellite that failed to reach orbit in 2012 — a painful loss that left Indonesian telecommunications operators scrambling for alternative capacity. The replacement satellite restored Indonesia's commercial communications capacity and expanded the Indonesian operator's services across Southeast Asia.
