Exporting Technology To Africa To Save Lives

October 20, 2018

A chance phone call from the Clinton Foundation in Mozambique has changed ours and their lives dramatically. It shows the power of creating appropriate and well constructed websites describing a companys services and products.

What was the problem and then the solution:
Delayed test results have often meant that HIV patients in Mozambique have failed to get timely treatment, particularly for preventing Mother to Child transfer (MTCT) of HIV on birth. However, having introduced and developed our new SMS printer technology with the Clinton Foundation and the Mozambique Ministry of Health the need to send tests to far away laboratories has reduced and has dramatically speeded up test results and HIV treatment for Mothers, Mothers-to-be and their newly born. After a successful 2009 pilot Mozambique has nationally rolled out our SMS printer technology and gateway, with Clinton Foundations help. This GSM network based printer and gateway technology transmits the results of mother and infant HIV tests electronically from two central reference laboratories in Maputo and the northern provincial capital, Nampula, to more than 275 health centres across the country. Previously, test samples and results took, on average, three weeks and up to several months to be transported to and from clinics via various means in remote parts of the country.

How did Sequoia and Clinton Foundation meet?
Because of this serious delay in test results the Clinton Foundation in Mozambique looked around for a technology based solution. They ended up contacting us in Reading having seen our website and enquired about using our SMS printer technology for sending health test data over the GSM network to speed up the time taken. After hearing what the program was about and the disastrous pass through rate from Mother to child for HIV we, at Sequoia, could only say yes to help with the program. Two years of concentrated work with the Clinton Foundation on the hardware and the required gateway software produced a successful pilot program. Subsequent research conducted by the Ministry of Health of Mozambique and the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), after our SMS printer technology and gateway had been installed, showed that the time it took for clinics to receive test results from reference labs had dropped from an average of about three weeks to about three days after the printers were introduced. Research presented by the Ministry of Health and CHAI at the International AIDS Conference 2010 in Vienna, Austria, showed that this, in turn, reduced the time it took to start infants (and /or mothers to be) on antiretroviral (ARV) treatment by about 4 months. This is now part of the national prevention of mother-to-child (PMTCT) HIV transmission service within Mozambique. The number of infants starting treatment also increased by 60 percent.

File Processing Systems

October 7, 2018

Even the earliest business computer systems were used to process business records and produce information. They were generally faster and more accurate than equivalent manual systems. These systems stored groups of records in separate files, and so they were called file processing systems. Although file processing systems are a great improvement over manual systems, they do have the following limitations:

Data is separated and isolated.

Data is often duplicated.

Computer Information Technology Is A Boon To The World

October 1, 2018

When computer and communications technologies are combined, the result is information technology. Computer Information technology has revolutionized the world making tasks simpler and convenient.

IT industry is booming world wide to its full. In India, IT companies have been spreading its tentacles to various other cities like Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad after establishing its foot in Delhi and Mumbai. Information technology services include data management, networking, designing, development and also the management and administration of entire systems.

The internet communications has brought the world closer. Anybody from any corner of the world can communicate through mails instantaneously by availing internet facility. Not only all the leading companies of today but also the small and medium scale industries want to have their websites so as to be visible online. This makes them visible globally anywhere at anytime, serving as a marketing tool, thereby generating revenue. IT has also helped in solving the pressing problem of unemployment by providing employment to the youth. There are lots of leading companies which offer services in the area of computer information and technology.

Advantages Of Ku Band Satellite Systems And Isp Technology

September 23, 2018

There are many renowned satellite service providers who offer, earth station leasing and transponder leasing services to meet the short-term broadcasting and transmission requirements of the global clientele. With these services, one can easily increase the coverage areas and subscribers through Multipoint solutions, Point-to-Point solutions, and Broadcast and Multicast applications, to link remote provinces to the main switching network. You can select the desired bandwidth for the transponder leasing services. You can opt for C band, eKU band, DBS band, Ku Band, extended C band and Ku band satellite system for various transponder capacities. The best part is that transponder leasing facilities can also be availed for occasional short term audio or video transmission applications like live TV broadcasting of special events, program transmission or backhaul services etc.

The most popular band is satellite communication is Ku band. Unlike C band, Ku band satellite system is not restricted in power so as to prevent interference with terrestrial microwave systems. Thus, the power of its uplinks and downlinks can be easily increased as per the requirements. Higher power also means that one can use smaller receiving dishes. This is because the function of the dish antenna is to collect the incident waves over an area and focus them all onto the antenna’s actual receiving element, thus, if the waves are high in intensity, then less dish antenna will be sufficient to collect and achieve the same intensity at the receiving element.

With the revolutionizing changes occurring in the satellite technology, more and more people are turning to global internet service providers. Most reliable internet service providers offer high-end Internet Protocol Paradigm like dial-up, DSL, cable modem, wireless or committed high-speed connection, with the help of data transmission technology. Through the internet e-mail accounts provided by the internet service providers, one can easily transmit and receive electronic messages through their servers.
Wireless service is the most innovative and ground-breaking technology for the entrepreneurs and corporate all over the world who are looking forward to expand the scope of their local area networks. ISP backbone via satellite service is done by joining Wi-Fi or WIMAX technology with satellite backbone connectivity. With this, the clients have faster access to video streaming, IPTV, internet access and video conferencing over a wireless network. The wireless services through ISP backbone via satellite is widely used by internet cafes, businesses, or individual users, because it offers high-speed communication services even to the remote areas without installing cables or telephone lines.
