The eye-catching Xiong'an New Area is made up of three counties, Xiong, Rongcheng and Anxin, as well as some surrounding areas in Baoding City, Hebei Province. It is another new area with national representative significance after Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shanghai Pudong New Area. The establishment of the Xiong'an New Area is a major historic and strategic choice made by the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core to further promote the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. It is a millennium plan and a great national event.
Over the years, Xiong'an New Area has been continuously driving its development with innovative technologies and has introduced a large number of enterprises to jointly plan and construct a smart livable and business-friendly new city with a high starting point and high standards. So, what a smart picture would be drawn if eSurfing Cloud meets Xiong'an?
We signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the New Area in early September 2017, the first telecom operator to do so. Ever since then, we have been engaged in building high-speed networks, making deployment in "new infrastructure" projects, and exploring 5G and cloud applications. It intends to contribute to the construction of a smart New Area with high-quality services.
"With tower cranes everywhere, the construction is in full swing". This summarizes the status of physical construction projects in Xiong'an. However, in the digital space invisible to the naked eye, "construction" is also in full swing. Along with the development of information technologies such as Internet and big data, eSurfing Cloud, as a cloud service brand of a central enterprise, continuously advances the construction of "Digital Xiong'an" in the field of cloud computing, and has created two "firsts" for Xiong'an New Area.
