Intel Chairman Unveils Egypt’s First ‘Digital Village’

ntel Chairman Unveils Egypt’s First ‘Digital Village’

In a small city near the Nile River where cars compete with cattle and modern conveniences are scarce, Intel Corporation is using computers and wireless technology to help Oseem’s 200,000 residents tap into vast “knowledge resources” on the Internet in hopes of bettering their lives.

“Technology has expanded what is possible for the people of Oseem,” said Intel Chairman Craig Barrett. “Intel is committed to support Egypt’s leaders in accelerating access to technology so its people can get better health care, education and work skills.”

Working with Egypt’s government, business and education leaders, Intel installed a state-of-the-art WiMAX network to connect two public schools, a health care center on wheels, a municipal building and an e-government services kiosk. Intel also donated and installed computers in the mobile health center and PC labs at the two schools where students and teachers can regularly connect to the outside world for the first time.
