The Malta Information Technology Agency (MITA) has entered into a three-year agreement with Vodafone Malta Ltd for the provision of internet bandwidth and routing services to meet the growing demand within government departments and state schools.

Apart from enhancing the quality of its bandwidth, through this agreement, MITA will be doubling the internet bandwidth currently provided to departments and schools. MITA offers internet services to approximately 16,500 public service users and more than 30,000 students across all state schools.

This agreement will also increase local internet bandwidth and enable faster access to government’s portals and all the eGovernment services hosted by MITA.

MITA’s chairman Claudio Grech said that such an enhancement in government’s internet services was the next logical step for the agency. “Having a high-speed and secure internet bandwidth is necessary for the implementation and delivery of bandwidth-intensive applications within the government’s core operations.

“It also allows us to start laying the foundations for the rollout of a new generation of e-Government services together with the strong vertical deployments of e-learning and e-health.”

Besides the capability and experience, Vodafone Malta Ltd also offered the best value for money proposition to fulfil MITA’s requirements, effectively reducing the total cost of the services currently being incurred.
