In an effort to increase the human resource capability  of key  partner agencies,  in the area  of information and communications technology (ICT), in support  to  the on-going project Communication and Information Systems for the Control of Avian Influenza (CISCAI), the Second CISCAI  WiMAX Engineering Workshop will be  held from   25 – 29  January 2010 at the National Electronics and Computer  Center (NECTEC) WiMAX  site in  rustic  Mae Hong Son Province of  Thailand. 

The Second WiMAX Engineering Workshop is a sequel to the first one  which was held in  Bangkok, Thailand in May 2009. The Workshop aims to provide advanced knowledge and techniques in WiMAX technologies, for implementing and administering securely and effectively, the core  CISCAI wireless systems that are currently being put in place by the CISCAI Project, including servers and computer networks. WiMAX stands for,  “Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access”, and is a telecommunications technology that provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of transmission modes, from point-to-multipoint links to portable and fully mobile internet access. The technology provides up to 72 Mbit/s symmetric broadband speed without the need for cables.
