Singapore’s Seaport To Be World’s First Wi-Max-Ready By 2008
By early 2008, all ships in Singapore can have access to mobile wireless broadband, allowing real-time and data-intensive communications between the ships and their customers and business partners. Thanks to WISEPORT (WIreless-broadband-access for SEaPort), activities that could only be done onshore previously can now be achieved offshore as well, from regulatory filings, to broadband communications, to real-time access to navigational data. WISEPORT is one of the initial projects under the Infocomm@SeaPort programme, which aims to provide a mobile wireless broadband network within 15km from Singapore’s southern coastline. WISEPORT will provide a low-cost, high-bandwidth and secure access.
The Infocomm@SeaPort programme was launched this morning by Mr Raymond Lim, Minister of Transport and Second Minister for Foreign Affairs, at the opening of the 2nd International Maritime - Port Technology and Development Conference (MTEC 2007).

hello every body, on this file that i have proudly copy pasted in my blog, is to let you be aware of the new technology that is arising in the ports of Singapore, where as in our country there are no such technology, the only technology we are getting a lead on is on the ZTE scandal, come to think of it, the 130USD million that the gov't officials are fighting for could be used in the development of the Marina's propasal that country could be a one of Asia's Hub
