Auza.Net is now accepting applicants for its Summer 2010 OJT Program. The company’s OJT program has been very successful with most of the OJTs landing jobs right after graduation. The program exposes the students to various technologies ranging from physical computer networks to plugin development for websites. This year’s program will focus on template development for Wordpress. This will give the OJTs exposure on various web technologies, especially on Wordpress which is already very popular among bloggers. Some OJTs may also work with the company’s network administrators on special projects.

To qualify, the students must be incoming senior students (incoming 4th year if taking a four year course or incoming 5th year if taking a five year course) and with good moral character. Interested students may submit their application letter, resume and transcript of records to:

The OJT Program Director
Auza.Net Internet Media Center
K of C Recreation Center

Please indicate in your application letter and resume the reasons why you should be considered for the program.

Auza.Net has released another free online service called PRCPassers.com, a fast search engine for names of board examinees who passed the PRC exams. It is still in its beta stage which means there are still improvements being done but the site is already usable by the general public. The service is unique compared to all other websites that publish lists of board exam passers because it is a real search engine where you simply type in the last, first or middle name or any combination of these and the results are shown immediately. The user is no longer required to click several links before finding the list of names which can take quite some time.

PRCPassers.com keeps an index of the board exam passers allowing for a very fast search, while providing the user a link to the official results on the PRC website so the results can be verified. In contrast, the other websites that publish the board exam results simply copy the data and republish them.

The search engine is a customized Wordpress plugin that includes a very fast search algorithm developed specifically for this type of index. It also performs the indexing everytime a new list of board exam passers are published by the PRC. Even though the plugin performs complicated functions, the development period was relatively short, a total of 5 working days only. This is because the developer only had to develop the functions that are specific to the search engine. All other functions like authentication and database abstraction are already handled by Wordpress (http://www.wordpress.org), a very popular content management system.

Auza.Net completed its upstream network upgrade on February 19, 2010 when its 32MB capacity fiber optic link to the Internet was activated.  Now with generous capacity available, Auza.Net will be able to provide to more clients its dedicated Internet access service.  Coupled with its carrier grade wireless mesh network, the company can deploy Internet service in a large area covering Tagbilaran, Panglao, Dauis, Baclayon and parts of Albur.

In the next few months, the company will proceed with implementation of additional network optimizations to improve service among its existing clients.  These will allow Auza.Net to serve additional shared bandwidth clients while improving overall network performance.

Dedicated Internet service is required for real time applications like VOIP and video that requires high quality reception that is suited for call centers and other business applications.  It is also ideal for large user environments with multiple users like universities and government offices.  Applications that need to run in a virtual private network or VPN is also supported by Auza.Net because it can provide static public IP addresses that these applications need.

Shared service allows low cost Internet access by spreading the cost of the service across multiple clients who will share the bandwidth available.  However, during peak hours, this service may be congested and would significantly degrade VOIP and video applications.  For ordinary Internet access use though, shared service is sufficient and is affordable.  Applications that cannot tolerate congestion would require the dedicated service.

Contact Auza.Net at 501-7931 or 501-8459 or email us at info@auza.net to get more information about its Internet access service.

A group of senior managers from Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) composed of Engr. Joseph Caballes, Engr. Ronnie Legaspi, Engr. Henry Mejor, Engr. Jose Singson, Jr., and Engr. Rommel Yu visited Tagbilaran city on August 14 and 15 to evaluate the city’s first wireless mesh network operated by Auza.Net for possible use in Cebu City to enable MCWD to link up all its wells, reservoir, pressure measurement points and other applications into a single IP based wireless network. Once implemented, the network will enable real time monitoring and control as well as make data collection very efficient removing the error prone manual reading and paper based data collection methods.

The group was accompanied by Juner Yaneza, of Raynetworks, Inc. (SkyPilot Philippine Partner), Gregg Tecson of Telepoint and Junrey Obe�ita of Auza.Net. The group evaluated the network performance at various nodes, including the longest link of 9 kilometers at Bolod, Panglao.

Tagbilaran has the largest wireless mesh network in the Visayas using the SyncMesh technology and equipment from SkyPilot Networks, Inc (www.skypilot.com). Deployment is very flexible and it is possible to have a private network between two or more offices that is secure and reliable at a very reasonable monthly cost. Using VLAN technology, the private network nodes act as a LAN switch allowing users to link up computers and applications between nodes seamlessly yet securely.

Masigasig Magazine, a supplementary publication to the Enterprenuer Magazine by Summit Media featured Tagbilaran City and Auza.Net in its July 2008 issue. Masigasig described the city as a gateway to Bohol and narrated on various reasons why it is a potential location for investement in IT enabled businesses. One of the reasons stated is the presence of SMITEs or Small and Medium IT Enterprises in Bohol already doing IT enabled services. Auza.Net was featured as one of these SMITEs and the DYRD-AM worldwide broadcast website www.dyrdam.com was given as an example of the company’s successful ventures.

Auza.Net published its maiden issue of the Auza.Net Technology Updates publication printed in the Bohol Chronicle on July 13, 2008.  This one page publication showcases Internet based technologies that are relevant to Bohol and to Boholanos and is published in the Sunday edition of the community newspaper.  The company aims to help businesses utilize new technologies to improve business operations, the academic community to leverage free and open technologies as primary and supplementary educational tools and the home users to get the most out of computers.

DYRD-AM Worldwide will celebrate its 1st year anniversary on July 8, 2008 with a special program to commemorate the successful broadcast of DYRD-AM around the world through www.dyrdam.com website.  Auza.Net is proud to have sustained this endeavor for this long and the company continues its commitment to serve the Boholano community through the online broadcast for many more years to come.

Please listen to the launching ceremonies held on July 8, 2007 at the Prawn Farm at the Island City Mall.
