ECINS

Kingnet was established in September 1997. In June 1998 it completed the first community network system structure in central Taiwan and began to provide fixed dedicated line networking service, a new milestone for networked communities in central Taiwan. In October of the same year, the company implemented and completed more than ten “networked communities” in central Taiwan. In March 1999 it cooperated with Shing-Shuang-he Cable Television 興雙和有線電視台 to successfully integrate the Internet use with cable television systems. In June it set up a branch in Taipei to promote network development experience in communities and enlarge the service scope. In November the company invested in GeoVision Inc., which succeeded in developing a network video security monitoring system (“Nethero”) to enhance the added value of the community network.

In March 2000 “Nethero” was awarded the EUROTRADE Best Of Taiwan's Best Awards with a golden prize. In April it obtained the important technology business applicable scope standard license issued by the Industrial Development Bureau, becoming a network service company awarded by government subsidies. In October it merged with the Golden Network Inc. to enlarge the community network implementation and service scope in northern Taiwan. In May 2001 it successfully promoted network video security monitoring system and the product “Nethero” was awarded again with the third anniversary MIT Excellence Award. In October it purchased Yi-Yang Technology Inc. 倚揚科技股份有限公司to enlarge community service scope in central Taiwan. In March 2002 it integrated the communities administrated under Hi Run Inc., making its community service scope reach about 500 buildings to be the largest Ethernet broadband community service provider.

Kingnet's vision is to become a well-known overall community service (network) operator. In all community implementation, if Kingnet can provide products and services (either through real distribution channels or the Internet) all E-CINS's group members will only choose Kingnet products.
