Unfortunately, the services that require high bandwidth Internet network so that only thrive in big cities. So what about the rural communities that are still difficult to access the internet?
An Android application titled TVisiKita expected to be a solution. The application was developed with iBOLZ technology designed specifically for areas that do not have internet access capable.
Because the content on TVisiKita can be enjoyed with a low bandwidth. According to the developers TVisiKita, Henry Joseph, the speed of 70 Kbps internet can now be used for streaming video content in the application with low-resolution quality.
"So much speed usually only able to stream content only voice," Henry said after the opening of the Village Festival of Information and Communication Technology (Destika) in Lake Sentani, Jayapura, Papua, on Wednesday (28/09/2016).
For the people who actually had a pretty good internet access, Henry claimed TVisiKita can be used to save pulse succession. Therefore, TVisiKita able to save the data to stream up to 60 percent.
"If connected WiFi, TVisiKita has adaptive technology to improve image quality up to HD," he said.
Aside from the technical point of view, TVisiKita also gives respite from the business sector for creators. Unlike YouTube uses AdSense system, Henry said advertisement in TVisiKita regulated independently by the owner of the channel.
"If passed it (Google AdSense) right there is the medium that the author never really know the system revenues. If the business model TVisiKita arranged on their own. So that has an automatic channel become entrepreneurs," he said.
A mechanism similar to YouTube
In essence, TVisiKita mechanism is similar to YouTube et al, in which each person, institution, or group can create your own video channel. Everyone can enjoy the content that will be directed as a medium of entertainment, educational, social, cultural, and economic for the villagers.
The difference, access to content TVisiKita not require large bandwidth. In addition, the business model is also more free and independent.
TVisiKita Festival opening Destika launched in 2016. The annual event organized by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, in cooperation with local governments, communities and other institutions.
This is the fourth event Destika Festival. Previously, the event never made sequentially in Melung, Majalengka, and East Belitung.
