The Timau National Observatory of Indonesia (TNOI) is established at Mount Timau, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, to host the development of multi-wavelength astronomy, especially at visible and radio wavelengths. The construction of a 3.8-m optical telescope as the main facility is being undertaken, and it is expected to be completed in 2024. In addition to constructing this optical telescope, a plan is to build radio telescopes to work in frequencies below 1 GHz, and around 1–50 GHz is also being considered. Three Callisto (Compound Astronomical Low-cost Low-frequency Instrument for Spectroscopy and Transportable Observatory) Spectrometers will be set up at TNOI to observe solar radio bursts for astronomical science and education and RFI monitoring. The observation system contains an HF Log Periodic dipole antenna equipped with a suitable pre-amplifier and an up-converter to observe in the frequency range of 10–45 MHz and a high gain Log Periodic antenna equipped with a pre-amplifier and a signal splitter to observe in frequency range of 45–180 MHz as well as in frequency range of 180–870 MHz, and three Callisto receivers working simultaneously, that will be able to observe several type of solar radio bursts. This research will describe and discuss the three Callisto observation system set-up plans, the expected results, and the observation system data archive. The observation system daily data will then be available at the e-Callisto International Network central data server at Fachhochscule Nordwestschweiz (FHNW) operated by ETH Zurich to be open to the international community.
