  • AU: Risking Australia's telehealth future

    The current political hoo-ha about how much bandwidth Australians might need in the coming years threatens some of the most important applications of a robust, high-capacity national broadband network. Arguably one of the most critical of these applications is telehealth.

    Regardless of which broadband network we end up with, telehealth – which promises to deliver a consistent level of care to patients through remote access to medical care – will be among the biggest beneficiaries.

  • Aust Post spends US$2 bil to modernise comms infrastructure

    Australia Post is fast-tracking the delivery of digital services under moves to transform its national logistics network and modernise communications channels using cloud-based services.

    This modernisation effort is supported by a US$2 billion (AUD$2 billion) investment that streamlines Australia Post’s overall infrastructure, as well as products and services in a digital economy.

    This investment will create a world-class parcel delivery network that improves automation, and expands Australia Post’s footprint nationally, says Australia Post’s managing director, Ahmed Fahour.

  • Australia: NSW mulls fibre for public housing

    The NSW Government is examining the potential upgrade of internet infrastructure in multi-dwelling units (MDUs) owned by the state Department of Housing from copper to fibre.

    Although nothing is confirmed, the chair of the state's NBN Taskforce Peter Duncan said today that the Government has looked at Department of Housing units "as an area we can trial" the retrofit of fibre to housing unit blocks that currently have ADSL infrastructure.

  • BD: Country's internet infrastructure achieves a mark

    Internet infrastructure of the country has achieved a mark by ensuring its back-up through connectivity of international terrestrial cable (ITC) that would ensure uninterrupted flow of information.

    Industry insiders said it is a 'breakthrough' for the ICT (information communication technology) sector development which has been facing problems for long due to dependence on the lone submarine cable -- SEA-ME-WE-4.

  • Brunei: Ministry of Development signed a contract on Infrastructure Network

  • Building A Strong Foundation: Infrastructure and Smart Cities

    Smart cities require smart infrastructure. Whether it’s sustainability, quality of life, economic growth—or all three— infrastructure needs to be the starting point for any smart city strategy. Consider the following:

  • China State Construction Engineering Corporation resumes new infrastructure projects

    For a long time, China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) has made full use of its advantages to be an active participant of "new infrastructure" - infrastructure that largely serves high-tech development, such as 5G and big data—and has continuously exerted efforts in many areas such as intercity high-speed railways and data centers. As the fight against COVID-19 enters the next phase in China, CSCEC is promoting the orderly resumption of work and production at its new infrastructure projects across the country.

  • Chinese province builds information highway

    The eastern Chinese province of Anhui is investing more than 80 billion RMB (US$11.5 billion) to modernise its infrastructure, including a project known as ‘Digital Anhu’ that aims to make the internet more widely available and improve data transfer between urban and rural areas.

    Once established in the major cities, the high-speed information network will be expanded in rural areas to meet the province’s ‘every village broadband’ objective and remove the ‘low internet speed bottleneck’ that has hindered development, Caoxiao Wu, Deputy Director General of Economic and Information Technology Commission, Anhui Province, told FutureGov.

  • CN: Guangdong province: Siemens kicks off smart infrastructure road show in Shenzhen

    Global technology powerhouse Siemens AG kicked off a road show for its smart infrastructure truck in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, on Tuesday, aiming to team up with a number of local industry customers and partners to explore cooperation opportunities to build a new ecosystem of smart infrastructure.

    The road show will continue its way to Guangdong, Hainan and Fujian provinces and the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region in the coming months, according to the company.

  • Connecting across Africa

    China lends valuable support to continent's push for information and communication technology

    Information and communications technology could well be the next sweet spot for investment in Africa, judging by the number of ICT projects announced by African nations recently. ICT's important role in African development was also reiterated last month, when leaders from 10 nations came together in the Rwandan capital Kigali to discuss how it could be used more.

  • Connecting Africa: The next 10 years of mobile growth

    The rapid growth of Africa’s mobile telecommunications market over the past decade has had a huge impact—on African consumers, on operators that do business on the continent, and on governments that have benefited from collecting license and service fees. There are now more than half a billion mobile phones in use in Africa, representing one of the biggest dramatic surges in usage in mobile telecom’s three-decade history, according to a new study by Booz & Company.
  • DE: Schutz kritischer IT-Infrastrukturen: Lükex 2011 gestartet

    Das Bundesinnenministerium hat die Stabsrahmenübung LÜKEX 2011 gestartet. Im Mittelpunkt der diesjährigen "länderübergreifenden Krisenmanagementübung/Exercise" stehen diesmal die kritischen IT-Infrastrukturen, die durch zielgerichtete Angriffe eines Internet-Aggressors gefährdet sind. Wie das Ministerium in seiner Auftaktmeldung betont, ist die reibungslose Zusammenarbeit in Fragen der IT-Sicherheit selbst unverzichtbarer Bestandteil der IT-Sicherheit.

    Über 18 Monate lang wurde beim Bundesamt für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe (BBK) das Angriffsszenario auf die IT-Infrastruktur entwickelt, das Mittwoch und Donnerstag durchgespielt wird. Unter der "Gefechtsleitung" des Sicherheitsstaatssekretärs Klaus-Dieter Fritsche erproben rund 3000 IT-Spezialisten, wie das länderübergreifende Krisenmanagement anlaufen kann, nachdem ein IT-Nofall festgestellt wurde, der dann eskaliert. Erstmals sind, dem Thema geschuldet, das nationale Cyber-Abwehrzentrum und die Bundesnetzagentur an der Übung beteiligt.

  • Deutschland: Frühwarnsystem für Angriffe auf kritische Infrastrukturen in Planung

    Bund und Wirtschaft planen ein Frühwarnsystem für Angriffe auf kritische Infrastrukturen. Im Rahmen des Vorhabens zur Umsetzung des "Nationalen Plans zum Schutz der Informationsinfrastrukturen" soll ein Netz von Kontaktstellen zur Früherkennung und Bewältigung von Krisen aufgebaut werden. Diesen sogenannten "Umsetzungsplans Krtische Infrastrukturen (Kritis) verabschiedete das Bundeskabinett vor einem Jahr.

    In dem Frühwarnsystem würden sogenannte Single Points of Contact (SPOCs) für die Kommunikation zur Alarmierung und raschen Reaktion zur Verfügung stehen, erklärte ein Sprecher des Bundesinnenministeriums gegenüber heise online. Einen genauen Zeitplan für die Aufsetzung des neuen Prozesses konnte er aber noch nicht nennen. Die Kontaktstellen sollen einen Verbund von Notfallzentralen in Form von "Computer Emergency Response"-Teams (CERTs) ergänzen, der allein bezogen auf Informations- und Kommunikationsnetze bereits 2002 startete.

  • Deutschland: T-Systems verbindet bundesweit die Netze von Bund, Ländern und Kommunen

    Deutschland-Online Infrastruktur Meilenstein für die Verwaltungsmodernisierung.

    T-Systems errichtet und betreibt mit dem DOI-Netz das künftige zentrale Rückgrat für die Online-Kommunikation der deutschen Verwaltungen. Den über vier Jahre laufenden Rahmenvertrag unterzeichneten der Deutschland-Online Infrastruktur e.V. als Vertreter der Länder und des Bundes sowie T-Systems heute am Rande der CeBIT.

  • Digital India: Optical fibre connecting islands to cost Rs 1100 crore

    A direct link is to be built through a dedicated submarine Optical Fibre Cable (OFC) to strengthen communication between Mainland (Chennai) and Port Blair and five other islands - Little Andaman, Car Nicobar, Havelock, Kamorta and Great Nicobar.

    The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the estimated cost of the project is Rs 1102.38 crore including operational expenses for five years. The project is likely to be completed by December 2018.

  • EU: Commission sets target for IPv6 deployment

    The European Commission has set a target to get at least a quarter of EU businesses, public authorities and households to use the next-generation of internet protocols (IPv6) by 2010, which would provide an almost unlimited number of web addresses.

    More and more people are surfing the net these days, using a multiple array of devices each of which require a web or Internet Protocol (IP) address. As a result of this surge in demand, the internet is fast running out of addresses.

  • EU: Could Biden’s Infrastructure Plan Offer the EU a Benchmark for Digital Investment Packages?

    Though it has been less than a year since the European Commission first unveiled its historic, €750 billion recovery package of loans and grants to lift the European Union out of a COVID-induced economic crisis, the narrative surrounding the “Next Generation EU” plan has shifted in the run-up to a deadline for EU member states to submit their national recovery plans for approval at the end of this month.

    When the Commission first presented its stimulus plan last May, analysts and media outlets hailed the EU’s “groundbreaking stimulus” and its ‘Hamiltonian’ willingness to finally break its “bond taboo.” More recent coverage of Next Generation EU, however, has focused on growing concern over bureaucratic and legal hurdles to the disbursement of funds. On the other side of the Atlantic, and in contrast to the concerns being voiced in Europe, a new administration in the United States has used its first few months in office to push through a $1.9 trillion “American Rescue Plan,” immediately followed by a $2 trillion infrastructure spending package now under consideration by Congress.

  • EU: Kommission setzt Ziele für die Einführung des IPv6

    Die Europäische Kommission verfolgt das Ziel, dass bis 2010 mindestens ein Viertel aller Unternehmen, öffentlichen Einrichtungen und Haushalte in der EU die nächste Generation des Internetprotokolls (IPv6) nutzen soll, das eine praktisch uneingeschränkte Zahl von Webadressen bieten würde.

    Das Internet erfreut sich einer steigenden Beliebtheit. Immer mehr Menschen surfen in ihm mit verschiedenen Geräten, die alle eine Web- oder Internetprotokoll-Adresse (IP) benötigen. Eine Folge dieser steigenden Nachfrage ist, dass die Adressen im Internet bald aufgebraucht sein werden.

  • Fibre network agreement facilitates rural communications in Ghana

    A new fibre optic backbone network will aid Ghana’s Ministry of Communications administrating rural regions of the country. The network, to be built by Alcatel-Lucent, will span 600km and enable high-speed data links between the central and regional administration offices of NITA - the information and communications technology (ICT) policy arm of the Ghanaian MoC - as part of the e-Ghana initiative.

    Under the agreement with NITA (National Information Technology Agency), Alcatel-Lucent will also manage network operations of Ghana’s entire ‘e-government’ program for three years commencing November 2012. The e-Ghana initiative is aimed at developing local IT services and improving the transparency and efficiency of government functions.

  • Four infrastructure considerations capable of making smart cities “smarter” and more resilient

    With the passage of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, much-needed funds are starting to trickle down to states and cities. But how will localities spend their share?

    While our nation’s roads, bridges, and highways need attention, the legislation also offers new opportunities for state and local agencies to lay the infrastructure of the future. And with two-thirds of the world’s population expected to live in cities by 2050, smart cities are a top priority.
