Intel underlines Digital Communities vision with a showcase of innovation at Gitex 2007

The showcase, which is divided into three booths in Concourse Two at Dubai Community Zone will enable visitors to experience how technology usage can extend beyond the computer and empower their every day lives through Intel's pioneering research and development.

Showcased at the 'Digital Clinic' area, Intel based healthcare solutions include Motion Computing's C5, the first medical tablet device based on Intel's Mobile Clinical Assistant (MCA) platform. Built specifically for the medical industry, the MCA is a significant step in Intel's efforts to ensure that healthcare workers have to hand full details of their patients records on a real-time basis no matter where they may be.

Intel's 'Digital Home' features the latest quad-core processor which enables users to combine their digital media content in one device for easy access to video, music and images. Working with vendors, retailers, and system integrators, Intel's designs for the 'Digital Home' include smart solutions that allow you to control every aspect of your living space from the touch of a button. By developing devices that are able to communicate with each other, Intel is redefining the notion of consumer electronics in the home.

At the 'Digital Classroom', Intel is demonstrating one to one computing through the use of laptops based on the latest Intel Centrino Processor technology. Showcasing its commitment to innovation in the region's education sector, Intel is also demonstrating the first Arabic e-Learning Portal, skoool.com.sa, specifically tailored to Saudi government academic curriculums from K to 12th grade. Skoool.com.sa provides media-rich learning resources focused on maths and science for students and teachers in the Kingdom. By empowering the student through the use of feature-rich multimedia content, Skoool.com.sa provides students and teachers with tools that will enliven their learning experiences.

'This year, Intel wanted to go beyond simple product roll-outs and focus on real-life solutions for the Middle East. We pride ourselves on the role that we are taking in adapting technology to make a positive difference in peoples' lives. From the reaction of attendees to Gitex 2007 we know that we've already made a difference and we at Intel look forward to rolling out these visions across the region,'

said Samir Al-Schamma, Intel General Manager for the GCC.
