Since beginning its massive information technology (IT) application programme three years ago, Bac Ninh province has so far connected 21 local-area networks (LAN) at departments and seven at districts and towns and completed a network using optical cable among departments and the province’s Data Integration Center.
Through LANs, cable and wireless transmission lines, local administrative agencies can directly connect with the Data Integration Centre for free, said Nguyen Huu Mao, Vice Head of the Bac Ninh IT Steering Committee.
Bac Ninh province is also the first locality in the country to release a public geographic database on its website, including land maps of 125 communes and towns, providing the local people with clear information on the province’s land situation.
Besides, the province has effectively implemented the Internet programme at schools and models of communal post offices with Internet connection. As many as 148 communal post offices in the province are now connected to the Internet.
