2. STT Telkom (University level School created by TELKOM the national PTT)
Motorola donated $2.2M in equipment and services to set up a training center to train technicians and engineers to operate and maintain both AMPS and GSM cellular systems. Initial installation was in 1994 and the center is still in operation conducting classes.
3. Institute of Technology at Bandung(ITB)
ITB is the top technology school in Indonesia. In 1995, Motorola signed a MOU with the school to set up work stations for training students in microprocessors and Digital Signal Processors (DSPs).
4. Sekolah Tinggi Manajemen Bandung
Motorola established an MOU on October 5, 1998 with Sekolah Tinggi Manajemen Bandung (STMB), a Graduate School of Management operated by Yayasan Pendidikan Telkom (Telkom Education Foundation).
