These back-end servers are customized support platforms, with service-oriented architecture, and perform the transaction processing and heavy lifting for each mobile device. They also provide a single, flexible and secure channel for information flow and connectivity, enabling DT4 to effectively off-load processing, switching, routing, and message queuing from mobile phones without having to synchronize in a cradle.

One Year On! Intel is World Ahead

Intel has celebrated the first anniversary of the Intel World Ahead Program and reaffirmed its commitment to extend the benefits of uncompromised technology to communities worldwide.

 

The Intel World Ahead Program is intended to broaden access to technology and education for people in developing communities and provide opportunities for these groups to participate in today’s international economy. Intel has committed US$1 billion over a period of five years to support the program, the objectives of which include training an additional 10 million teachers in the use of technology in education, creating the potential to reach another one billion students. Intel’s ICT for Education program, under which each student gains access to a PC for the development of digital literacy skills, already is being piloted in India, Malaysia and the Philippines.

 

The Intel World Ahead Program is now active in nine Asia-Pacific countries – China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. In each of these, Intel collaborates with governments and organizations on programs that help bridge the digital divide. Leighton Phillips, Asia-Pacific Manager, Intel World Ahead, said, “Intel has in place 170 World Ahead projects in 60 countries worldwide. We are collaborating with governments, schools and universities, multinationals, non-government organizations (NGOs) and others who also are committed to bridging the digital divide.”
