Cisco Introduces Live Remote Education Platform for Indian Classrooms

Bangalore: Creating a milestone in the Indian education market, Cisco announced the Cisco Education Enabled Development (CEED 2700) solution.

This collaborative, cloud-based video interaction solution will enable efficient delivery of education and skills development courses across the country, facilitating inclusive growth and empowering rural India. Codenamed ‘Dwara’ (after the Sanskrit word for portal to signify a doorway to a new future), the product is the first of Cisco’s ground-breaking ‘Internet of Everything’ solutions from India.

Helping connect the unconnected, this solution will enable vast rural populations to access expert teachers and master trainers. Such training is nearly impossible in many areas outside urban centres.

‘CEED' is the second product to be launched from Cisco's India site with the intent of driving innovation from India to the rest of the world. With successful international compliance certified under FCC, CE and UL Labs, Cisco is fulfilling its vision to help transform education for the unprivileged by bringing down the cost of technology in education to about  $1 per child per month.

‘CEED’ is a comprehensive integrated and open learning platform designed to utilize Cisco Collaboration suite to deliver cloud-driven live and hosted video and other content. With the enablement of remote teaching and learning, every rural school can now offer the same level of expert teaching that is available only to children in cities.
