CDC eyes entire Clark Freeport as a Wi-Fi zone“The idea is that as soon as they enter the gates of Clark, they

could easily get a strong signal. So, there is no need for one to go tosome commercial establishments to avail of free Wi-Fi to access thenet because it will be opened to all once they are inside,” CDCAssistant Vice President for Information Technology RobertoTagamolila said.

The project shall be under a proof-of-concept agreement (POC),which means the utilization has no cost to the government and thatit shall undergo a trial period to determine its viability and cost-efficiency.

CDC is currently applying the POC strategy on the use of some

70 video surveillance cameras, 38 of which have been installed instrategic locations inside Clark to bolster security and as well monitoractivities of the upcoming 1st Senior Officials Meeting of the 2015Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit from January26-February 7.

“After the trial period, we may or may not come up with theTerms of Reference depending on the concept’s workability, reliabilityand cost-efficiency. The whole point here is that we will be able tosee the unforeseen. We will know what we really need,’’ Tagamolilaadded.
