Cellphone blocking project wins government ICT awards
The Department of Corrections’ prison cellphone blocking project won the 2009 Computerworld Excellence in the use of ICT in Government Awards, held at Te Papa in Wellington last night.
The objectives of the project were to stop prisoners communicating with non-authorised people, using mobile phones to communicate with external associates with a view to escape or orchestrating crime, and ensuring prison security is maintained.
The other finalists in the awards were the Ministry for the Environment, for its Land Use and Carbon Analysis project, Landonline for online property search technology, and the Department of Internal Affairs, for its online births, deaths and marriages project.Read more at computerworld.co.nz
