While reviewing the Joint SAR Post in Carita, Pandeglang, Banten, Saturday, Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Nezar Patria said that the Ministry of Communication and Digital is coordinating with cellular operators to monitor Base Transceiver Stations around the Sunda Strait.
"The Ministry of Communication and Digital has coordinated with three cellular operators. The three cellular operators have detected BTS around the Sunda Strait, both in Banten and Lampung," he said.
Nezar said that monitoring was also carried out through the Radio Frequency Spectrum Monitoring Center in the Banten and Lampung regions to track telecommunications signals detected in the search area.
"Through the frequency monitoring centers in Banten and Lampung, we continue to check if any signals are detected," he said.
Nezar explained that information from cellular operators regarding telecommunications activity in the monitoring area was forwarded to the SAR team so that it could be used as input in efforts to find the last location of the eight residents who went missing in the Sunda Strait.
Based on the tracking results, he continued, the last communication contact was detected on September 7, 2026 on Sebesi Island, which is near Mount Anak Krakatau.
"We have received information from the cellular operator, and this information has been forwarded to SAR and processed, in the form of the last contact on Sebesi Island," he said.
