United Nations Global View Unveiled at ITU Telecom Africa 2008
May 12, 2008
Lansing, MI — IDV Solutions today announced the unveiling of ITU Global View, an online visual composite application created to track and help accelerate implementation of the goals of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Africa. It was unveiled at the ITU Telecom Africa 2008 Conference in Cairo, Egypt.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the leading United Nations agency for information and communication technologies, is working with IDV Solutions and Microsoft to create a global view of telecommunications development. ITU Global View provides decision makers and stakeholders with a comprehensive view of telecommunications infrastructure, projects, and statistics.
ITU Global View uses IDV's Visual Fusion Suite® software and Microsoft's Virtual Earth. Visual Fusion Server® integrates a broad range of data sources on global information and communication technologies (ICT) — visualizing telephone lines, mobile and broadband subscribers and internet users. Thematic shading highlights the subscriber/user ratio for each technology.
The application also visualizes GSM cell phone coverage, optical fiber networks, population density, GDP per capita data, WSIS Stocktaking Projects, training centers, and African Union Regions throughout Africa, allowing users to compare them and to analyze trends, measure progress, and consider potential future development.
“IDV Solutions is committed to helping organizations in future growth and economic development through our Visual Fusion software,” said Ian Clemens, Chief Technology Officer for IDV Solutions. “Global View will help ITU to visualize information and communication technologies to assist developing African countries in implementing networks and services.”
The Global View visualization is hosted and maintained by ITU. It is open to all stakeholders and allows users to check status, identify gaps and avoid overlap in collaborative efforts to implement new initiatives and achieve project goals.
