USM EYES BIGGER ROLE IN NATIONAL
ROLL-OUT PLAN FOR MSC
Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) is looking to a more
prominent role in the impending National Roll-Out plan for
the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) via its newly-launched
satellite earth station in Penang, sources were quoted.
USM Vice-Chancellor Professor Datuk Dzulkifli Abdul
Razak said yesterday the university’s second 4.5-metre
C-band VSAT antenna, which sits atop the School of
Computer Sciences’ premises, will enable USM to facilitate
more research in areas deemed important in relation to the
MSC roll-out. (VSAT technology is a telecommunication
system based on wireless satellite technology. The term
“VSAT” stands for “Very Small Aperture Terminal”. VSAT
technology is made up of a small satellite earth station and a
typical antenna of 1.8 metres in diameter). Penang and Kulim
have been identified as the new centres of development of the
MSC outside Cyberjaya. USM has MSC status, while its
corporate arm — Usains Holding Sdn Bhd — has MSC
incubator-status. Penang’s MSC Cyber City project will serve
as Phase Two of the MSC rollout. Its proposed Cyber City
will see the conversion of a portion of the Bayan Lepas Free
Industrial Zone on the island linked northwards to USM’s
main campus at Minden into the MSC Cyber City. The new
antenna found at the satellite earth station is managed by
USM’s Network Research Group (NRG) from its School of
Computer Sciences.
NRG’s Network Head and Programme Chairman Associate
Professor Sureswaran Ramadass said since the installation,
the antenna has been used extensively for research activities
within the Asia Pacific region.
The project is led by Keio University of Japan and its
partners comprising collaborators and researchers from
institutions of higher learning from Asian countries like
Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. |
