Business Incubator (DOST-<br />
PEZA Open TBI), On-going<br />
The Department of Science and<br />
Technology, together with the Philippine<br />
Economic Zone Authority and in<br />
collaboration with the University of the<br />
Philippines established the DOST-PEZA<br />
Open Technology Business Incubator<br />
(DOST-PEZA Open TBI). This was formally<br />
launched on July 22, 2009.<br />
Under the guidance of an 11-member<br />
Steering Committee, the DOST-PEZA<br />
Open TBI strives to (1) encourage the<br />
creation and growth of innovative<br />
ICT entrepreneurs; (2) promote the<br />
adoption and commercialization of open<br />
technologies; and (3) provide a medium<br />
for the industry-academe-government<br />
collaboration and synergy. The facility can<br />
house 20 budding business in ICT and<br />
electronics. Priority is given to start-ups<br />
that delve in open source technologies.<br />
Managed by the Technology Resource<br />
Center and assisted by ASTI, the DOST-<br />
PEZA Open TBI offers data hosting,<br />
marketing guidance and Intellectual<br />
Property assistance among other services.<br />
Proprietors can choose between 20 and<br />
40 sqm. rooms or a combination thereof;<br />
which are inclusive of 24x7 security<br />
service, commodity Internet and VoIP.<br />
Local companies that have chosen<br />
to locate at the DOST-PEZA Open TBI<br />
include: Convergelink IT Solutions;<br />
GraPhiKos Solutions; Philippine<br />
Open Source Distribution; Ser-BIZ-Yo<br />
International Co., Ltd.; Xinyx Design<br />

Development, On-going<br />
The following embedded systems products<br />
developed by ASTI were commercialized<br />
this year:<br />
GSM Data Terminal<br />
The GSM Data Terminal is a solution<br />
designed to convert an ordinary PC into an<br />
SMS server. It is a package that consists of<br />
a GSM modem card and an SMS software.<br />
The applications developed using this<br />
technology can communicate with any<br />
SMS-capable device, and automate the<br />
handling of all incoming and outgoing<br />
messages and other data related to the<br />
client’s information system.<br />
Several government departments and<br />
agencies such as the Department of<br />
Agrarian Reform’s Information Technology<br />
Center for Agrarian and Fisheries, and the<br />
Department of Environment and Natural<br />
Resources’ Environment Management<br />
2009 Annual Report<br />
Bureau; as well as private companies<br />
like Upscaled Food Inc.; Tuloy Pinoy<br />
Organization; and CORE8 International<br />
Marketing Corporation, currently use the<br />
GSM Data Terminal to aid them in more<br />
efficient and effective implementation of<br />
tasks such as information dissemination<br />
and data gathering.<br />
PICMe Microcontroller Starter Kit<br />
The PICMe Microcontroller Starter Kit<br />
provides students, engineers, and<br />
hobbyists with a low-cost preliminary tool<br />
to explore the power of a microcontroller<br />
unit and jump-start their prototyping<br />
and product development projects on<br />
embedded systems.<br />
PICMe is pocket-sized, measuring 3.7”<br />
x 1.65”, and contains a powerful MCU<br />
with a dual function header. It is easy to<br />
reprogram, allowing fast error checking,<br />
and comes with a pre-installed PIC bootloader.<br />
