True Digital Park links with partners
TRUE Digital Park is joining with four information technology partners on initiatives that it says will help people in their digital lifestyles at home and at work.
Thanasorn Jaidee, president of True Digital Park, said, while announcing the collaboration, that the park in the Punnawithi area was more than 90 per cent complete and was expected to be officially opened in February next year.
The firm is partnering with Microsoft, Cisco, Epson and Ricoh on the initiatives aimed at facilitating the country’s digital transformation. Thanasorn said these will help in workforce needs and with startups, ecosystem members and residents in the True Digital Park community. The park covers around 200,000 square metres.
He said that under the collaboration the park “will deploy state-of-the-art technologies in all areas of True Digital Park to fulfil the ultimate digital lifestyles of city residents and members who want to participate in the digital technologies in the park and create experience for startups”.
It will come with a variety of technologies such as Heat Map and Cisco lighting control, artificial intelligence (AI) technology for facial recognition, laser projectors, as well as smart offices and smart printers.
“As a result, users in the park will gain experience to access smart life with advanced telecommunications infrastructure that connect to both high-speed 4G and WiFi networks with smart solutions and intelligent systems. The park will become a digital innovation hub in Southeast Asia.”
Vatsun Thirapatarapong, managing director of Cisco Thailand, said the firm will provide network planning consultation for infrastructure and use digital solutions such as smart building, Heat Map for user location tracking and cyber security to prevent cyber attack.
Yunyong Muneemongkoltorn, director of Epson (Thailand), said that the firm will provide high-end laser projectors to enable smooth presentations and the viewing of information from smart devices.
Tanapong Ittisakulchai, director of enterprise and commercial promotion at Microsoft (Thailand), said that the firm is providing an AI platform and visual technologies “in order to inspire the creativity of startups and drive users in the park in the digital world”.
Julian Fryett, president of Ricoh (Thailand), said the firm will focus on “creating an experience for everyone to witness innovations and technologies that will help them to work smarter and operate more efficiency with services and technologies that inspire startups and users” in the park.
Thanasorn said the park will provide one-stop services for a startups ecosystem. He expects there will be more than 100 startups in the park, in areas such as hospitality, financial technology and lifestyle pursuits. The park also expects it will have more than 7,000 ecosystem members by the end of next year.
