Training Education Centre
INK MEDIA will provide as an adjunct to the
Assembly plant and Distribution Centre, a
training centre. This centre will have several
functions 1. Train the Trainers InkMedia staff
will arrange for a hands on training centre that
will train the trainers. 2. The trainees will
utilize the training facility to schedule
training of key persons The trainers will also
be available to travel to aid in the set up of
initiatives in surrounding countries.
3. The centre will also act as a repository for a
host of online courses that are now available,
these courses and open source software titles
will be available for reproduction on proxy
servers and through Internet offering when
available. 4. The Centre will provide a host
service for external agencies wishing to offer
courses. For example, Help University of
Malaysia may wish to utilize the centre while
establishing a more permanent base of operations.
24
ICT FOR GOVERNMENTS
Ink Medias Assembly and Distribution plant is
much more than a simple computer manufacturing
facility. The Centre provides training and
outreach to neighboring countries and rural
regions Equally importantly, the Centre will
provide training on FOSS based solutions for
streamlining governmental services. This
offering will allow governmental agencies to
set-up and test server based solutions for the
development of non-military social infrastructure
solutions. The centre will have both a small
server farm as well as a series of input
laboratories where innovative solutions can be
built and tested.
25
ICT MODERNIZATION FOR PEOPLE
There are many elements to a modernization plan
for ICT. The first element is establishing a
broad based need for the services. The
government must have a commitment to
modernization that impacts all people.
Thereafter, it is commitment in creating
affordable means to accomplish the goals. The
benefits of ICT are dramatic. Health care
information becomes readily available. Education
opportunities are de-linked to physical locations
and physical resources. ICT brings a wealth of
business opportunities from tourism to all forms
of entrepreneurism without the necessity of
urban migration.
26
OLDES HEALTHCARE
27
Objectives of the project
The number of long term ill and old people is
dramatically increasing and the related burden in
term of public expense getting higher and higher
these are the two main reasons motivating the
OLDES project. Today more and more old people
are living alone, in many cases with no families
helping them nor enough money to afford private
carers. Getting inspiration from these facts,
OLDES is implementing an innovative technological
platform, with low cost and easy use, able to
provide a wider range of services to a higher
number of elderly people
28

• OLDES PROJECT
• Defines an innovative and alternative welfare
  system, replacing the existing one, which is no
  longer sustainable, The system is easily
  customised according to user needs and used on a
  large scale.
• Potentially all elderly people in the cities and
  surrounding areas in the future will be
  tele-assisted, contributing greatly to the
  simplification and systemisation of assistance
  services and providing public cost savings.
• The system allows long term ill, older people and
  their families to live more serene and assisted
  lives in their own homes, without representing
  too high a cost burdening the whole society.
•                                 

29
System offers

• Tele-medicine
• Tele-assistance
• Tele-entertainment and
• Tele-company services
• System enlarges the number of people assisted
  by public services, even if public resources are
  decreasing whilst the number of old people
  increases.

30
OLDES provides

• User entertainment services, through
  easy-to-access thematic channels and special
  interest forums as well as, health care
  facilities based on established Internet and
  tele-care communication standards.
• The system includes wireless environment and
  medical sensors linked via a contact centre to
  social services and health care providers.
• A Knowledge Management (KM) program, an advanced
  user profiling system that will enhance
  communication between all the stakeholders of the
  system. OLDES puts older people at the centre and
  makes their needs the main priority in all
  developments. This will be achieved through the
  use of modeling and animation tools to create
  scenarios designed to elicit responses from older
  people, their carers and service providers.

WIMAX
32
What is WIMAX?

• WIMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for
  Microwave Access
• WiMAX refers to broadband wireless networks that
  are based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which
  ensures compatibility and interoperability
  between broadband wireless access equipment
• WiMAX, has a range of up to 31 miles, is
  primarily aimed at making broadband network
  access widely available without the expense of
  stringing wires (as in cable-access broadband) or
  the distance limitations of Digital Subscriber
  Line.

33
THINK OF INTERNET

• There are three possible ways to access internet.
• Broadband access
• Uses DSL or cable modem at home and T1 or T3
  line at office
• WIFI
• Uses WIFI routers at home and hotspots on the
  road
• Dial Up Connection

34
Proven TECHNOLOGY

• Broadband access is too expensive and WiFi
  coverage is very sparse.
• Wimax technology delivers
• High speed of broadband service
• Wireless rather than wired access
• Broad Coverage

35
A WIMAX system consists of

• A WiMAX tower, similar in concept to a cell-phone
  tower - A single WiMAX tower can provide coverage
  to a very large area as big as 3,000 square
  miles (8,000 square km).
• WiMAX receiver - The receiver and antenna could
  be a small box or Personal Computer Memory card,
  or they could be built into a laptop the way WiFi
  access is today

36

37
HOW WIMAX works?
38
WIMAX Scenario

• Consider a scenario where a WiMax-enabled
  computer is 10 miles away from the WiMax base
  station.
• A special encryption code is given to computer to
  gain access to base station
• The base station would beam data from the
  Internet required for computer (at speeds
  potentially higher than today's cable modems)?

39
WIMAX Scenario

• The user would pay the provider monthly fee for
  using the service. The cost for this service
  could be much lower than current high-speed
  Internet-subscription fees because the provider
  never had to run cables
• The WiMAX protocol is designed to accommodate
  several different methods of data transmission,
  one of which is Voice Over Internet Protocol
  (VoIP) or Skype type calls
• If WiMAX-compatible computers become very common,
  the use of VoIP could increase dramatically.
  Almost anyone with a laptop could make VoIP calls

40
IEEE 802.16

• Range- 30 miles from base station
• Speed- 70 Megabits per second
• Frequency bands- 2 to 11 and 10 to 66

41
FEATURES OF WIMAX

• Scalability
• Quality of Service
• Range
• Coverage

42
Scalability

• The 802.16 standard supports flexible radio
  frequency (RF) channel bandwidths.
• The standard supports hundreds or even thousands
  of users within one RF channel
• As the number of subscribers grow the spectrum
  can be reallocated with process of sectoring.

43
BENEFITS OF WIMAX

• Speed
• Faster than broadband service
• Wireless
• Not having to lay cables reduces cost
• Easier to extend to suburban and rural areas
• Broad Coverage
• Much wider coverage than WiFi hotspots
