Xiamen Government, Cisco develop information infrastructure, software industry

Attention: open in a new window.

Xiamen Municipal Government has become the first public sector customer to deploy Cisco’s TelePresence communications solution, designed to promote ICT in Xiamen and to promote and exploit the city’s software potential.

Cisco China will be working with the Xiamen Municipal Government to promote the development of Xiamen's Information and Communications Technology (ICT) capabilities, with a focus on the software industry. The collaboration is aimed at establishing a long-term, stable and mutually beneficial strategic tie between Cisco and Xiamen. As part of the initiative, Cisco will deploy its advanced TelePresence communications solution in Xiamen, a major seaport on the southeast coast of China, in Fujian province.

Cisco will also be assisting the Xiamen Municipal Government in preparing and implementing ICT development strategies. The company plans to provide support for the development of the Xiamen software industry, participate in building the online public service and technology platform of the Xiamen Software Park (jointly set up the Cisco Innovations Experience Centre), train networking professionals for the city and develop local Cisco channel partners.

The municipal government will also be the first customer in the Asia-Pacific public service sector to deploy the Cisco TelePresence Meeting solution.

Cisco TelePresence, underpinned by intelligent Internet Protocol (IP)-based networks, is claimed to help enable people in different corners of the world to have unique and “in-person” communications with each other. Cisco TelePresence has taken advantage of a wide range of innovations and breakthroughs in IP-based audio, video and telecommunication technologies.

Deployment of the Cisco TelePresence demonstration platform, scheduled to take place at the Cisco Innovations Experience Centre in Xiamen Software Park, marks the first use of Cisco TelePresence in the Asia-Pacific public sector. It will have profound implications for the widespread adoption of the technology among governments.

The Xiamen Municipal Government has stated that it places great importance on its ICT development strategy and welcomes multinational companies like Cisco as they bring networking technologies and global best practices to the area.

With a long history of cooperation with Fujian in key sectors such as finance, telecommunications and education, Cisco held the third board meeting of its Networking Academy at the end of last year in Xiamen, where it explored the prospect of providing greater education in networking technologies. Cisco China also set up an office in Fuzhou, Fujian‘s capital, in January this year to explore opportunities to become involved in economic developments across the Taiwan Strait with local governments, businesses and partners.
