The next growth phase of Cyberjaya
The prime minister today announced not 10 but 11 big projects coming to Cyberjaya. Hopefully this will be the catalyst to the next growth phase of Cyberjaya.
1. Development of Asia Big Data Centre - Cyberview and China's Guangzhou Winhong IT Corp
2. Creation of Regional Fintech Hub - Cyberview and China's Beijing Fullrich IT Co Ltd
The arrival of many chinese companies in Malaysia would draw China based IT companies to set up shop in Malaysia. Just like the Japanese, it is understood that Chinese companies would prefer to source from their own country companies. Eg. I once worked in a Japanese company and they insists employee to use Fujitsu laptops.
3. Futurise Centre - a collaboration between Cyberview and Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre (MaGIC) + Multimedia University, United Nations Technology Innovation
Lab, Microsoft HoloLens and China's Tsinghua University
4. Cyberjaya City Centre Phase I - convention centre and hotel
Work on this project has already started along the stretch of the road leading to Cyberjaya. Seems like they are rushing to complete it as I see workers working at night also at the site.
5. Cyberjaya Hospital (government)
This item is long awaited. I got some sketches from the Internet on the proposed interiors.
6. Cyberjaya Cashless Society - pay using your mobile phone for anything anywhere in Cyberjaya - oBike Malaysia, Mastercard, PrimeKeeper, Billplz, LuxTag and Mobike.
7. Cyberjaya Scholarship Program - Cyberview and Limkokwing University of Creative Technology
This is bring more students to study in Cyberjaya.
8. VADS Klang Valley Core Data Centre
VADS will probably shift their data center from TTDI to Cyberjaya, then they can unlock the value of the Menara VADS.
9. CBJ4Annex by NTT MSC Malaysia (expansion)
This probably is an expansion of NTT's data center operations
10. Sensor Applications Innovation Centre (SONIC) by Ingeniworks Sdn Bhd
There's not much information about this item but it probably is building some sort of IOT (internet of things) devices related to sensors.
11. 1GBps broadband by Setia Haruman Tech
This broadband service would most likely be similiar to Google Fiber service in US which can reach blazing speeds of 1Gbps. Most likely this service would be delivered via Setia Haruman's broadband subsidiary City Broadband. http://www.citybroadband.my/. My hope is the price has to be affordable for the common person as it is no use having such high speeds that is only catered to the affluent.
Update : 1Gpbs superfast broadband is available for homes at RM399/month and offices for RM3499/month
