China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc. Names Dr. Liu Haitao as Chief Scientist

SHENZHEN, China, June 7 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc. ("CSST" or the "Company") (NYSE: CSR; Nasdaq Dubai: CSR), a leading integrated provider of digital surveillance technology in the P.R.C., today announced the appointment of Dr. Liu Haitao as CSST's Chief Scientist. While Dr. Liu will continue his research and development role in government- related organizations in China, Dr. Liu will be solely committed to CSST in leading CSST's technology innovation and providing consultancy for CSST's total digital management solutions.

Dr. Liu has been in the mainland information technology industry for more than 20 years. As the academic leader in the Internet of Things (IOT) field, Dr. Liu is one of the earliest scientists focusing on the research and development of IOT application.

IOT is defined as a concept focusing on the development of an open architecture connecting all Internet-enabled objects. IOT will serve to enhance the efficiency of information flow and integration in CSST's E-city platform. Moreover, with the speeding up on the development of IOT application within China, the market need for even more complex digital management solutions will likely generate further opportunities for CSST.

''Dr. Liu brings more than 20 years of management and research expertise to his role with a deep understanding of IOT development in China," said Mr. Guoshen Tu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CSST. "IOT together with our E-city platform, will clearly position us to offer fully integrated digital management solutions to help build a safer, more convenient and efficient city for our government customers."
