In January 2026, Universitas Brawijaya (UB) hosted a pilot edition of the APIE Advanced Camp in Malang, Indonesia, structured around two advanced technical tracks: BGP and Wi-Fi engineering.
The first phase (January 8–10) focused on Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), reinforcing a critical component of Internet infrastructure. Participants engaged in advanced iBGP/eBGP deployments, carrier-grade troubleshooting, and data center routing scenarios using Mininet-IPLab. Group presentations required teams to present and defend their routing policies and design choices.
The second phase (January 12–14) shifted toward wireless networking, where participants conducted site surveys, analyzed RF environments, and deployed Wi-Fi Access Points in practical configurations, concluding with design defense presentations.
By strengthening the BGP pathway and integrating hands-on wireless deployment, this pilot Advanced Camp expands the depth and coherence of APIE’s learning trajectory. It also demonstrates UB’s leadership in shaping advanced technical capacity-building initiatives within the SOI Asia network.
The program was implemented through collaboration among UB, SOI Asia, Keio University, APNIC, and local technical partners.
This pilot reflects the continued evolution of the APIE Advanced Camp model.
A detailed recap of the BGP and Wi-Fi tracks is available on the APIE website:
