On April 22, ChinaCache International Holdings announced that it has established a strategic partnership with China Tietong Telecommunications Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Mobile Communications Corporation. The partnership will see the companies developing a content delivery network in China for Tietong.

ChinaCache is focused on providing content for telecom carriers, major non-carriers, and local Internet service providers, with ChinaCache working as a carrier-neutral service provider. State-owned telecommunications operator China Tietong provides xDSL, xPON, and fixed-line telephone services with their nationwide backbone network, and is the third largest fixed-line Internet service provider in China. Tietong was bought by China Mobile Communications Corporation and became its wholly-owned subsidiary in 2008.

The two companies will combine resources to produce a content delivery network, with ChinaCache supplying technical support, customer care, marketing, and professional services support. China Tietong will in turn deploy servers and other hardware to build the content delivery network infrastructure while operating the network with the assistance of ChinaCache.

Song Wang, CEO of ChinaCache, said, “We are delighted to partner with China Tietong on this exciting initiative, which we believe is the first of its kind in the industry. Under this agreement, we will embed our leading CDN technologies into China Tietong’s nationwide network to help improve end-user experience. We are pleased to be able to contribute our substantial experience and industry-leading technologies and we look forward to potentially extending international expansion opportunities through this important partnership with China Tietong. We will continue to seek various types of strategic partnerships with carriers that benefit both parties, as well as millions of Internet users.”
