Besides, its TrustCSI UTM will offer secure interconnectivity between cinemas and the core system, allowing Dadi to ensure efficient and stable performance of its cinema business systems across 100 cities in China. The advanced solutions provided by China Entercom not only support the Film + strategy decision-making process with real-time information and communications, but also offer customers a quality experience, both online and offline, when they are booking tickets, selecting seats, viewing movies and shopping for other items at Dadi.

China Entercom will provide managed services to Dadi. The company will rely on its extensive service coverage and one-stop operation capabilities to offer Dadi 24/7 operational support for all of its cinemas nationwide.
