Da Nang launches intelligent operation centre
Da Nang (VNA) – The Da Nang People’s
Committee on August 14 inaugurated an intelligent operation centre (IOC), an
important component of the central city’s path to the smart city status.
The centre is also included in the ICT (information
and communication technology) reference framework for the development of smart
cities issued by the Ministry of Information and Communications.
Addressing the launching ceremony, Chairman of the People’s
Committee Le Trung Chinh lauded the municipal Department of Information and
Communications, the Management Board of Industrial and Civil Engineering Construction
and Investment Projects, the Viettel Military Industry and Telecoms Group
(Viettel), and relevant agencies and localities for their efforts in the first
phase of the project.
He described the project as major progress in the city’s
digital transformation journey, saying it demonstrates the strong resolve by
local leaders in building a smart city.
According to the Director of the Department of
Information and Communications Nguyen Quang Thanh, the centre will collect
urban information and data in all fields for supervision and analysis, thus
serving the management work, as well as policy and decision making of all-level
leaders.
For local residents, they will benefit from smart
urban services, and notably with the app Danang Smart City, they will stay up
to date with traffic, weather and environment warnings, among other emergencies.
Last year, Da Nang was honoured with the Best
Vietnam Smart City Award, the third time so far.
This award was among the 43 bestowed upon cities,
enterprises, and products considerably contributing to smart city building and
national digital transformation./.
