Introduction
 The ability to manage and process spatial data is a
critical component for any functioning GIS
 Data processing systems refer to hardware and software
components which are able to process, store and transfer
data
 Facilitate to manage and processing of geoinformation

Hardware and software trends

 In terms of magnitude of more memory and storage
capacity
 Trends: In early 1980’s PC, 2MHz CPU, 128 kbytes or
RAM and 10MByte of hard disk to current generation of
desktop Handheld PCs
 GPS Capabilities for instantaneous georeferencing
 Networks (LAN, WAN, WiFi etc)
 Drones and Mobile phones 1Gbps
 Mobile communication

 Bluetooth, Modium (dial-p, ISDN, ADSL, etc)
