Cloud technology helps combat poverty


Li Hao, a representative of China Mobile Cloud Capability Center in Gansu province, said that this kind of platform normally takes at least two months to build.
"Some 279,000 people have so far registered on the platform and we are all proud to help with the poverty alleviation efforts," he added.
Apple planting is a leading industry in Mawang village of Yan'an in Shaanxi province. Due to its remote location, the village had difficulty in selling its apples and it remained locked in poverty for years.
But last year, with the cloud technology support of China Mobile, things began to change. Now, local farmers are not only able to monitor the growth of their apples via an intelligent monitoring system installed in the orchards, but they are now selling their fruit online through a digital platform.
According to Liu Xiaoping, a representative of China Mobile Cloud Capability Center in Shaanxi, this initiative is based on movable cloud technology and the experience can be shared with more villages.
