Under Kazakhstan's Privatization Plan in the early 1990s, Crystal Data Systems provided the country with the first fault-tolerant computers to appear in central Asia and other products that represented the technical breakthroughs of their times. Prior to this, the company sold 4,000 computers to Russia and provided onsite training for technicians in computer maintenance and Novell networks. Crystal Data International was created by the founders of Crystal Data Systems to expand their business into central Asia.
Today, Crystal Data provides advanced integration for medical and governmental remote sensing applications. Current governmental projects include border surveillance, situation awareness and wide-area video monitoring. The company relies upon its deep experience in communications, hardware and custom software platforms to build turnkey systems for its customers.
The company supports the sharing of 8,000 medical images per month among four hospitals within a single 160-square-mile WiFi network. Crystal Data's government operations include data transmission to off-campus buildings; traffic counts, weather sensors; and the deployment of a number of types of data transmission infrastructure in areas where telecom infrastructure does not ordinarily exist. City governments rely on Crystal Data to get real-time water quality data from outlying water processing plants - normally miles outside of telecommunications infrastructure - into urban laboratories.
