[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Tamana InTech Park will be the center of technological innovation for the region in the next few years.<\/p>\n

But what makes the Park different?<\/h3>\n

What is Tamana\u2019s selling point?<\/h3>\n

Why are notable big-brand companies interested in investing in Trinidad & Tobago through the Park?<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The answer lies in Information Communications and Technology (ICT), the conceptual platform on which the Park is being constructed. The 1,100-acre eco-industrial Park will feature state-of-the-art world-class ICT infrastructure and value-added services, in an easily accessible part of the region, which makes it particularly attractive to investors in the Western Hemisphere. Designed to be a first-rate facility that will enable the progressive expansion of local ICT capability nationwide, Tamana InTech Park will provide the catalyst for the improvement of e-Government services and general online accessibility in Trinidad & Tobago. This modular IBM-derived design will also be able to grow in tandem with developments in technology, thereby making the system even more valuable.<\/p>\n

According to ICT Manager Tara Manick, Tamana InTech Park will feature modern ICT infrastructure such as Multiple Point of Presence (POP) and Network Centers for Diversity and a Tier III Data Centre. In terms of services, tenants, students and guests will enjoy blanketed Wi-Fi coverage, Internet access, VOIP phones, and a range of connectivity and data center services. Some of these services will be available via a portal, allowing relevant users to engage in self-administration.<\/p>\n

With construction of this modern ICT infrastructure at the Park under way, Tamana has already attracted interest from a variety of potential clients, including software developers, biometrics researchers and business intelligence incubators.<\/p>\n

The ongoing support of the Government in enabling the development of the ICT market in Trinidad & Tobago and in placing ICT on this country\u2019s national agenda is integral to the success of the Park. ICT is the backbone of a knowledge-based economy, which is the key to the diversification of T&T revenue generation. This modern ICT hub with its anticipated global interest will also boost commercial activity and lead to the further development of the Wallerfield, Arima and Sangre Grande communities.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
