IDC’s Main Achievements • The commissioning of the IDC is in phase 5a, Preparation for Full-Scale Testing of the IDC. • The IDC provides the States Signatories with access to IMS Data and IDC Products and Services since February 2000. • Established an integrated office and scientific computing network to support States Signatories and the entire PTS. • Procured the mass data storage and the authentication key management systems. • Received, installed, tested and validated Release 2 and 3 software, thus becoming capable of collecting and processing data from about 100 stations. • 1999 saw the GCI grow from a concept to implementation. With the installation of the four, now five, VSAT hubs along with the terrestrial links to the IDC in Vienna, global satellite coverage has been established. • IDC Training Programme continued and completed third set of NDC managerial and technical training course in 2001.
