Residents and businesses in i-City, touted as Selangor's first Multimedia Super Corridor Cybercentre, will enjoy a variety of IT services.
These range from datacentres to wireless networks to high-end videoconferencing facilities; the first phase of the project will be completed by year end.
Kumaran Singaram, managing director of Cisco Malaysia, said companies planning to have their business premises in i-City would not have to build their own IT infrastructure from scratch. Everything they need will be at their disposal as soon as they move in.
“IT services will be available to every building,” he said, adding that in i-City, IT services would be as available as basic utilities such as running water and electricity.
Eu Hong Chew, chief executive officer of I-Berhad which is developing i-City, said the company's objective is to build an IT hub in Selangor.
He said Shah Alam was chosen because it is a well-known spot for industries. “Industries here will be able to use i-City to support their R&D clusters,” he said.
