KyLinTV has opened its latest content delivery center in Toronto to enhance its Chinese IPTV broadcasts to the Canadian audience and further expand KyLinTV's service around the world.

The growing KyLinTV subscriber base in Canada prompted the establishment of the Toronto center, because the Canadian viewers were increasingly relying on the Internet to receive TV broadcasts. The new KyLinTV content delivery center joins three others already established in the United States in Palo Alto, CA, Dallas and New York.

KyLinTV subscribers will be provided with improved streaming and video quality. Internap Network Services is providing route-optimized IP network service, integrated data center space and power to deliver more than 30,000 hours of KyLinTV's video content.

"Working with NeuLion and Internap to open the content delivery center in Toronto allows KyLinTV to meet its goal of offering the best programming and most choices while uniting the worldwide Chinese community. We are pleased to see the growth of subscribers, and the establishment of this new center reinforces KyLinTV's long-term commitment to our Canadian audience," said Nancy Li, KyLinTV's CEO.

Most recently, KyLinTV added the exclusive Great Wall TV package to its channel lineup. Because of unrestricted channel capacity and no geographic boundaries, IPTV allows an unlimited amount of programming to reach viewers worldwide.

"Internap's integrated network and data center solution was designed to meet the stringent requirements of IP television broadcasts," said Tim Sullivan, CTO at Internap. "We're glad Internap can provide the technology services for KyLinTV to expand its delivery of high-quality IPTV programming to Chinese-speaking audiences worldwide. As KyLinTV continues to grow, and the popularity of IPTV persists, Internap's Performance IP network and data center colocation will provide KyLinTV with the reliability and flexibility needed to succeed."

KyLinTV is the first and only IPTV service dedicated to the Chinese community living in North America, offering both live broadcasts as well as more than 30,000 hours of on-demand programming.
