LeEco to invest 10 million USD to set up CDN/cloud infrastructure

By end of 2016, LeEco will set up in-house Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) in 10 cities across India.

The in-house CDNs across 10 locations in India (including key cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore) will be connected to LeEco’s global 650 CDNs through cloud, allowing LeEco smartphone or television users to stream audio, video or internet television content on-demand seamlessly and reliably, wherever they are.

LeEco is also planning to investment over 10 million USD to set up this CDN/cloud infrastructure which will provide content delivery capabilities in linear channel, live events, and video on demand serving both mobile and TV segment, giving consumers a better user experience on LeEco products.

The setting up of our CDN infrastructure further reiterates our commitment to build the Le Ecosystem in the country and provide our users with an uncompromised experience.
