Computer Networking of State Colleges and Universities The proposed plan of the Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC) is to interconnect the 109 State Universities and Colleges (SUC). The project aims to interconnect its operations with the support of computer networks, Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). Every institution will have a basic LAN, which will be installed, in the library to automate information transaction and to provide facility for communication locally to improve the administration in the institutions. These will be interconnected to provide regional and nationwide area networks. Connectivity with the INTERNET will be incorporated in the system so that information can be shared by all SUCs and provide vital information. CHED/NCC

Communication and Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic Management Meanwhile, air passengers are expected to benefit from shorter flight time and increased safety of their travel with the approval of the new Communication Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) Systems. The P7.6-billion project is actually a satellite-based technology used to control and manage air traffic. In the Philippines, the main concept of the new CNS-ATM means consolidation of regional air traffic control facilities into the new ATM center in Manila, thus improving air traffic since the concentrated information would allow easier access with adjacent ATM facilities and flight operation centers.
