Deeply cultivating integrated streaming media solutions, Yunfan Acceleration CDN obtains license from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology

On September 6, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the seventh batch of CDN (Content Delivery Network) licenses, including the license for Shenzhen Yunfan Acceleration Technology Co., Ltd.

CDN can effectively improve the transmission speed and stability of Internet content, freeing users from problems such as freezes and delays. In recent years, the popularization of mobile Internet and the development of Internet information video and high-definition video have directly driven the rapid development of the entire CDN market. According to statistics, the overall market size of domestic CDN will reach RMB 12 billion this year, and it is predicted that it will continue to grow rapidly in the future, with an annual compound growth rate of about 40%.

The demand for CDN market is constantly expanding, and more and more companies are joining the CDN industry to share the market share. The number of CDN companies has increased from the four major ones before 2014 to as many as fifty or sixty at present.

However, with the expansion of the market and the increasingly fierce competition in the industry, the CDN industry has gradually seen the emergence of broadband sublease, content confusion, non-standard video services, malicious price wars and other industry chaos. For this reason, the "Telecommunications Business Classification Catalog (2015 Edition)" implemented on March 1, 2016 manages CDN as the first type of value-added telecommunications business. Business entities need to apply for a license from the competent authority before they can engage in related businesses, which greatly raises the industry entry threshold. At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology once again clearly stipulated that those who fail to obtain the corresponding telecommunications business license as promised on time shall not be allowed to operate CDN business from January 1, 2018.

Licensed companies are recognized for their technological innovation and business norms, and they also play an outstanding role in promoting the standardized development of the industry and setting industry benchmarks for the CDN market.
