Years -- SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China
Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc. ("CSST" or the
"Company") (NYSE: CSR; Nasdaq Dubai: CSR), a leading provider of
digital surveillance technology in the PRC, today announced it has
signed an E-city project framework agreement valued at
approximately RMB 1 billion (approximately US$146.2 million based
on an exchange rate of USD 1.00 to RMB 6.84) with the local
government of Haimen City in the southeast of Jiangsu Province.
Haimen City, located at the Changjiang River Delta, is one of the
largest industrial cities close to Shanghai and has a Gross
Regional Product of RMB 36 billion in 2008, according to
http://www.haimen.gov.cn/ . The Haimen E-city project involves the
build out of a fully integrated Safe City platform, Emergency
Response System and Digital City Network, as well as the
digitization of the Binjiang Industry & Trade Zone to support
the development of Haimen City. The project features the
combination of broadband communications infrastructure, flexible
and service-oriented computer systems, and multi-media and mass
storage platforms; as well as the integration of innovative GIS,
GPS, remote sensing and various other technologies to meet the
needs of the government, citizens and businesses. The project will
be performed on a standard Build-and-Transfer arrangement whereby
CSST will undertake the construction of the E-city project and
transfer the work to the Haimen government upon completion. Mr.
Guoshen Tu, Chief Executive Officer of CSST, commented, "We are
very excited to be able to sign this E-city framework agreement
with Haimen City. This project highlights the expansion of CSST's
solutions to include not only surveillance and safety offerings but
also other broader digital infrastructure offerings, which
parallels CSST's strategic development." Mr. Tu continued, "We are
also very excited that our leading brand and unparalleled scale and
scope continue to be the key winning criteria for these ever larger
projects. Our proven reputation of success and our competitive
advantage to provide comprehensive digital solutions further
differentiate CSST to our local government customers, as they
increasingly demand more features and capabilities beyond the scope
of Safe City architecture. We believe our expanding customer
portfolio of these large scale E-city projects will in turn drive
additional wins in other major cities throughout China." About
