centers. The team installed 25 centers during phase one of the project in 2005, with a long-term goal of
supporting 6,000 villages.
Intel Community Solutions
Intel Community Solutions, a unique worldwide effort of Intel Public Affairs, is committed to promoting
positive social change through the innovative and wise use of technology. This initiative mirrors many
of the broader digital inclusion efforts but relies on the strong relationships we build and maintain in our
site communities around the world. Community Solutions projects involve specific technology solutions
crafted to solve unique community challenges. These solutions often serve as early proofs of concept for
later expansion. In 2005, Community Solutions projects attracted more than $40 million of investment in
Intel technology that also helped address local community challenges.
Intel Community Solutions programs in 2005 included the following:
Real-Time Traffic Information for Philippine Commuters. Timely
information on traffic snarls, road accidents and everyday congestion is
just a keystroke or click away for commuters in Cavite, Philippines, thanks
to the Cavite Traffic Information System (CTIS). A collaboration between
Intel, local technology firms and the provincial government, CTIS provides
commuters with traffic-related public service announcements online and through cell phone-based Short
Message Service subscription.
Wireless Mobility for Israeli Parliament. Visitors, members of parliament and the media can access
Internet-based resources using a new wireless system that Intel installed in Israel’s parliament building,
the Knesset. We initiated the project and supplied the WiFi equipment that affords wireless connections.
Intel IT personnel provided consulting services to the Knesset’s computer unit. In the final stages of
the project, additional sections of the Knesset building and its new extension will become wireless. The
project is expected to help students, tourists and other visitors have a richer experience while visiting this
historic government facility.
Support for Small and Midsize Business Initiatives in the U.S. In Chandler, Arizona and Hillsboro,
Oregon, Community Solutions worked with other Intel business groups to install and launch technology
centers in local chambers of commerce. The project is designed to help small businesses discover the
latest technology so they can be more profitable.
