Limited has announced the availability of a new satellite modem designed to ensure optimal satellite communication services in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lepe Omobayode in a statement said the device, which can operate with multiple computers can be used to enhance and coordinate Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)\u2019s election results effectively.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201c the simplex modem can efficiently buffer election results taken outdoors in a bid to quickly transmit election\u00a0 back to INEC\u00a0 headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>Once the modem is connected to the, NEC computer via USB port, raw data will be sent INEC\u2019s server for processing.<\/p>\n<p>The use of this device will mean elimination of delayed transmission of results or the hassles associated with it. As such, there will be no need for Nigerians to wait hours on end for the release of election results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, he stated that the simplex modem would be able to deliver reliable information due to its ability to transmit nine byte messages, each repeated three times at approximately seven minutes intervals to ensure the elimination of errors while messages streaming through the satellite network. \u201cThe ease of use and the possibility of a very wide coverage makes the simplex modem an excellent device for INE\u2019c\u00a0 use\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>It will be recalled that in 2009, during a briefing to members of the senate committee on INEC, Secretary to the\u2019 Commission, Abdullahi A. Kaugama emphasized that \u201cVoters in the country will receive election results through electronic means to be provided by INEC at the polling stations. INEC has been collating continually but henceforth, the Commission wants results transmitted to all polling stations across the country. This is to give INEC more control on the result collation process and minimize irregularities\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting further on the effectiveness of the modern, he said, \u201c for one thing, avoiding a lot paperwork will be a plus for INEC and would have solved the challenge of lack of papers for ballot boxes and election results. Proof of the efficacy of electronically relaying of election results is remarkably substantial in countries such as India, Bangladesh and Mexico. It is widely accepted worldwide that e-transmission of election results are far more sophisticated and very successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>INEC has succeeded in dousing fears of an in orderly electorai performance nationwide. Such positive acknowledgement can be further enhanced with use of simplex modem for transmitting election results electronically.<br \/>Furthermore, he noted that a departure from the old ways can help Nigeria as a whole to achieve faster growth, especially with regard to the provision of-high quality communication services unhindered by bureaucratic policies.<\/p>\n<p>Globaltouch believes strongly In prog:\u201dess for Nigeria through maximum utilization of ICT products.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Comments are moderated.
