Ca Mau spends over 106 billion VND to upgrade digital equipment in all communes and wards | Thanh Niên (VN)

Ca Mau province is allocating more than 106 billion VND (approximately $4.2 million USD) to a project aimed at upgrading digital equipment across all 64 of its communes and wards. The initiative seeks to standardize the information technology infrastructure, enabling better electronic record processing and the provision of online public services.

The project, approved by the provincial People's Committee Chairman, will be managed by the Department of Science and Technology. Funding will come from the provincial budget's medium-term public investment plan for 2026-2030, with implementation scheduled over two years, 2026-2027. The majority of the budget, over 101 billion VND, is designated for the purchase of new equipment.

Thousands of new IT devices will be procured and installed, including 1,383 desktop computers, 503 laptops, 739 A4 laser printers, and 499 scanners. The upgrade also includes network infrastructure, switch devices, Wi-Fi routers, and backup power supplies for all communes and wards. Additionally, public service centers at the commune level will receive updated equipment for processing applications, such as computers, printers, scanners, AI cameras, storage devices, and a centralized data connection system.

The investment is intended to ensure the necessary infrastructure is in place to operate information systems, specialized software, and electronic document processing. It will also enhance the capacity for delivering online public services. Furthermore, Wi-Fi systems at commune-level People's Committees and public service centers will be expanded, allowing citizens to access information and complete administrative procedures on-site.
