This study aims to evaluate the performance of Satellite Nusantara Satu which has just been launched. Satelit Nusantara Satu is a broadband satellite that uses High Throughput Satellite (HTS) technology and uses Ku-band transponders to cover all regions in Indonesia. However, the use of Ku-band frequencies in Indonesia, which is located at a tropical region, must be evaluated because of the characteristics of the Ku-band frequency are very vulnerable to rain attenuation. In general, a broadband service requires link availability of 99.9% with a minimum speed of 100 Mbps. Our simulation results show that in the western part of Indonesia, to reach 100 Mbps with 99.9% link availability, the EIRP of the earth station VSAT is minimum at 79 dBW. In the central part of Indonesia, to reach speeds of 100 Mbps with 99.9% link availability, the EIRP of the earth station VSAT is minimum at 83 dBW. And in the eastern part of Indonesia, to reach speeds of 100 Mbps with 99.9% link availability, the EIRP of the earth station VSAT is minimum at 84 dBW.
