The technology used to connect government buildings and schools will soon be used to provide internet connection to Government’s service vehicles, DPI/GINA said.
This was disclosed by Presidential Advisor on eGovernment Floyd Levi after residents of No.35 village, East Berbice asked about internet connectivity for police vehicles and ambulances.
The initiative would provide police officers and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) with critical information at a quicker rate. However, Levi noted that the programme can only be rolled out once there is a close in the connectivity gap on the coast.
“To fix this problem, the ministry is actually in negotiations with the Chinese company that actually built this network Huawei technologies, to ensure that we have full coverage along the entire coastal region of Guyana to ensure that blank spots do not exist. So as it is right now this technology is being used,” Levi explained.
