AMD - the global chip maker, is the latest international partner to join Fusions e-Empowerment efforts. The new AMD technology powered equipments, will be added to Fusions’ telecentre network to commense the first step of partnership program with Fusion. The device was a unique model developed by AMD to enable easy Internet access. It can substitute the need of expensive and energy intensive CPU (Computer Processing Units). Thus cut the energy cost, and save money to the telecentres.

This partnership is a part of AMD’s well known ‘50×15′ program, which has a grander target of connecting 50% of the world community with Internet by 2015. Partnership with Fusion marks the first time introduction of 50X15 initiative to Sri Lanka. Fusion would install those devices at specially selected telecentres, thus enabling more and more rural community access to internet. Further it may consider under upcoming ‘Green Telecentre’ initiative, which aims to cut down C-foot print of a telecentre.

Fusion is grateful to AMD Brasil for taking extra effort to forge the partnership, also acknowledges the efforts of Sarvodaya-UK and Sarvodaya-USA to materilize the AMD - Fusion partnership.
