Cisco Celebrates 20 Years of Connecting Thailand and Digitizing the Economy - Seite 2

"I'm excited by what the future will bring for Thailand, seeing the government's recently announced five themes to build a 'Digital Economy'. Cisco and our ecosystem of partners are committed to drive the development and implementation of hard infrastructure, soft infrastructure, service infrastructure, digital skills and innovation, and a digital society. Critical to the success of this vision for a digital economy is a robust and secure broadband infrastructure that can grow with the current of 26 million Internet users in Thailand," said Vatsun.

"In addition, the 'Internet of Everything', which connects things, data, people and process will expand how the world will benefit from the connecting the unconnected. By increasing the adoption of digital technologies to connect stakeholders, customers, employees, investors, and partners, we can connect Thailand and beyond that, connect ASEAN," continued Vatsun.

"Tomorrow really does start now for Thailand," he concluded.

Cisco History:
The concept of connecting the unconnected has been with Cisco since 1984. The husband and wife team of Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner wanted to email each other from their respective offices located in different buildings but were unable to do so because of technological shortcomings. Beginning to experiment with connecting detached networks, Bosack and Lerner ran network cables between two buildings on the Stanford campus, connecting them first with bridges, and then routers. Their vision was to enable disparate networks to talk with one another and share information reliably. With that idea in mind, the multi-protocol router was born.

Since then Cisco has shaped the future of the Internet by creating unprecedented value and opportunity in using the network as a platform for transforming how people connect, communicate and collaborate.
