SHENZHEN, China, August 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- China Information Technology, Inc. (the "Company" or "CNIT") (Nasdaq GS: CNIT), a leading provider of integrated cloud-based platform, exchange, and big data solutions in China, today announced that the Company was selected by a leading advertising agency in China to install 922 cloud-based new media elevator terminals in Huizhou City of Guangdong Province. Revenues from these installations will be recognized through one-time terminal sales of RMB1.9 Million and monthly recurring platform service fees. The terminals are expected to be installed by the end of 2015.
These new media elevator terminals will display advertising and public information through Yunfa Net, the Company's cloud-based publication platform. Yunfa Net enables advertising agencies to remotely upload and manage contents. Integrated with surveillance cameras and data collectors, the terminals also transmit data on elevator operation to the property management and elevator safety bureau on a real-time basis. In addition, other types of CNIT new media terminals in Huizhou can also connect to Yunfa Net for content publication.
To improve future cash flow, the Company has adopted the revenue model of its new media businesses based on one of the following two models: a) sales of CNIT-branded new media terminals (including CNIT proprietary control boards and operating system) and monthly recurring Yunfa Net platform service fees; b) sales of CNIT P-Boxes (including CNIT proprietary control boards) and monthly recurring Yunfa Net platform service fees. P-Boxes are used to connect third-party terminals to the CNIT new media ecosystem.
Since the Company's strategic transition in July 2014, there have been approximately 25,000 CNIT-branded new media terminals installed in about 50 cities in China. As of July 2015, there were approximately 70,000 terminals connected to Yunfa Net with monthly active terminals of approximately 20,000.
