Pacnet partner with PPLive extending services to Singapore and Southeast Asia

Pacnet will facilitate extending ‘PPTV’ to Singapore and across Southeast Asia by providing connectivity and co-location services to the leading online video company, PPLive.

“The online video market in China and worldwide is growing rapidly and we are seeing more China-based content providers looking to deliver rich media content outside of China.

“As part of our strategy to address this rapidly growing market, Pacnet is partnering with PPLive to enhance delivery of Internet video services to the increasing number of Internet-enabled devices,” said Bill Barney, Chief Executive Officer of Pacnet.

The deal will enable PPLive to utilise Pacnet’s network resources in Asia and state-of-the-art Singapore Data Landing Station to support its expansion into Southeast Asia.

“As more people turn to the Internet for entertainment, we require a provider with an expansive, scalable, and efficient IP backbone to address the demands of the fast-growing streaming market,” said Vincent Tao, Chief Executive Officer of PPLive.

“Pacnet is able to meet our existing bandwidth demands and scale up with us as we open up our services to new audiences in the near future.”

Luo Kun, General Manager of Operators Cooperation Department, PPLive said the partnership would enable the combination of Pacnet’s expertise and extensive global reach with the video company’s strong brand to deliver quality video streaming to PPLive customers.
