Taoping Cooperates with Guangke Digital Technology to Expand Application of Taoping Smart Cloud Platform


NEW YORK, Dec. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Taoping Inc. (NASDAQ: TAOP, the “Company”), a provider of internet-based smart display screens, and a new-media ecosystem that enables targeted advertising and online retail, today announced that the Company has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Guangke Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (“Guangke Digital”) for the application of Taoping Smart Cloud Platform to enable cloud operations of Guangke’s projection equipment.

Guangke Digital is engaged in the development, production and manufacturing of photonic crystal metamaterial-based projection film and screen products. Such photonic films can be coated on glasses to enable double-sided display and can be coated on walls and projection screens to enable borderless high-resolution display. With projection equipment, the new films can be used in multiple scenarios such as retail showcases, transportation hubs and elevators. Over the years, Taoping has developed Taoping Smart Cloud Platform and the associated Cloud Window App, which provides a shared resource pool that integrates media resources and advertisers in an all-round and multi-channel manner, and provides cloud management, control, order optimization and maintenance to effectively configure and use resources. Taoping Smart Cloud Platform can be flexibly assigned and expanded for all users of the platform.

Under the strategic cooperation agreement, Guangke Digital is granted a license from Taoping to connect its projection equipment and photonic screens to Taoping Smart Cloud Platform, and both parties will collaborate on market development. With integrated management and order optimization of Taoping Smart Cloud Platform, online ads can be displayed programmatically and in real-time. Both parties agreed a license fee and a monthly maintenance and support fee for each Cloud Window App installation.

“Our cooperation with Guangke Digital will provide more display options for our customers and further expand Taoping New Media ecosystem beyond our own network,” said Mr. Jianghuai Lin, Chairman and CEO of TAOP. “We expect new revenue streams for the Company as Taoping Smart Cloud Platform is adopted by partners like Guangke Digital.”
