KyLin2.0 to Expand Global Footprint

PLAINVIEW, N.Y., Dec. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- KyLinTV, the world-leading Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) service provider announces today the official expansion of Kylin2.0's global footprint in Europe, Latin America, Singapore, Taiwan and other South East Asian markets. For the first time ever, Chinese television channels will be delivered to Chinese subscribers from these markets in high definition and available for mobile consumption through a PC.

After the successful debut of first generation platform in North America in 2005, KyLinTV expanded its service in Europe and Asia respectively last year. Starting from April 2011 when KyLinTV proudly launched its second generation Kylin2.0 in North America, KyLinTV has been aggressively increasing its presence in more overseas markets, namely Europe, Latin America, Singapore, Taiwan, and other South East Asian markets.

KyLin2.0 is the exciting next step in the evolution of KyLinTV and features the first ever HD Chinese channels delivered by IPTV through cutting-edge technology. As the world is going mobile, so is KyLinTV as subscribers can access their programming -- VOD and streaming -- not only on set-top-box, but also on a PC or a laptop. The adaptive streaming technology enables Kylin2.0 to greatly solve the buffer issue faced by all IPTV operators worldwide, and ensures that all overseas subscribers can enjoy the TV programs with best possible quality and viewing experience.

With the launch of KyLin2.0, KyLinTV will provide the most popular Chinese channels, offering the largest collection of Chinese TV programming from mainland China, Taiwan, Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore and local TV stations in North America, including 8 exclusive Chinese HD channels and the Great Wall TV package, the flagship product of China International Television Corporation's (CITVC) effort to reach out to Chinese overseas in the Chinese language.

Wei Ping, vice president of China International Television Corporation's (CITVC) spoke enthusiastically of the newly-enhanced Great Wall TV package on KyLin 2.0, especially the newly-added six HD channels including Hunan HD channel, Beijing HD channel, Shanghai Dragon TV HD channel, Jiangsu HD channel and Zhejiang HD channel, as well as CCTV Documentary channel, Sichuan International Channel and Taishan International Channel.

"As the most important Chinese TV channel platform outside of China, the Great Wall TV package is a window connecting the latest members of the Chinese diasporas with their home countries. With KyLin2.0, we can provide them with best watching experiences of Chinese television programming," said Wei.

"The launch of KyLin2.0 is truly a milestone for the industry," said KyLinTV president Duan Jianbing. "KyLinTV is the only Chinese TV programming aggregator and provider with the advanced features of HD and mobile, and we continue to look for ways to better serve our subscribers using cutting-edge technology and a content rich channel lineup."
