HONG KONG, Nov. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent was recognized as a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Edge Delivery Services 2024 Vendor Assessment (doc #US51812424, November 2024) report. Tencent Cloud, as a representative vendor, has made a strategic move with its integrated edge platform, EdgeOne, positioning itself to capitalize on opportunities presented by edge services.

Strategy- and technology-driven, a truly one-stop edge cloud security and acceleration platform

Tencent Cloud’s globally launched EdgeOne solution is a truly one-stop cloud security and acceleration platform. It continuously refines its advantages in edge acceleration and edge security capabilities, catering to the needs of developer communities, media, and other industries, thereby driving digital transformation and rapid business growth across various sectors.

Specifically, in terms of edge acceleration, EdgeOne optimizes HTTP/HTTPS, TCP/UDP network transmissions, and combines dynamic and static content to provide efficient acceleration services for a diverse range of business content in a simple and streamlined manner.

On edge security, EdgeOne offers comprehensive security protection capabilities such as DDoS/WAF/Bot/rate limiting through a distributed architecture, further democratizing security capabilities and providing users with normalized protection.

The report notes, “Tencent Cloud supports flexible pricing that includes free access for developers and basic, advanced, and custom models for enterprise customers.” To encourage more developers to participate, collaborate, and improve edge applications, EdgeOne has created the OpenEdge, an open co-creation technology platform for developers to build the next generation of edge AI Serverless applications. Additionally, in September of this year, the platform launched the “Pages” feature designed for modern web development, assisting developers in rapidly building and deploying static sites and serverless applications.

Furthermore, EdgeOne is actively integrating AI technology to develop AI@Edge capabilities. It supports enterprises in deploying computing resources at the edge, offer runtime environments for LLM training and inference, and enables AI applications for video and image generation and processing, as well as for AI-generated content storage and caching.

Top choice for enterprise global business development, with comprehensive industry services for gaming, e-commerce, media, etc.

While continuously refining its technology, EdgeOne is also actively implementing solutions across various industries. The report indicates that Tencent possesses extensive expertise in e-commerce, media, and gaming, with these market segments poised for good growth in the foreseeable future. At present, EdgeOne has already served top clients and typical scenarios in various industries globally, including gaming, e-commerce, media, and finance.

In the gaming sector, EdgeOne’s global nodes, combined with innovative architecture, have accelerated game server access by over 30%, improved download speeds for game developers by an average of 50%, and increased first-day user activity by 20%. Currently, EdgeOne has served over 500 gaming clients globally, providing services for Tencent’s self-developed strategic games like Honor of Kings international edition. Additionally, EdgeOne supports global operations for companies such as Kuro Games’s “Wuthering Waves” and BluePoch’s “Reverse 1999”, ensuring both security and performance.

In e-commerce, leveraging its highly scalable architecture and edge computing capabilities, EdgeOne can meet the customized configuration needs of cross-border e-commerce clients, supporting agile business iterations. Its integrated architecture of one-stop security acceleration ensures smooth website access, sustains high traffic volumes during major promotions, and provides comprehensive security protection, preventing fraudulent activities and malicious attacks.

Through Tencent’s deep expertise in the media sector, especially its networking and audio-video technologies accumulated over more than 20 years, EdgeOne further extends media capabilities to edge nodes and has launched the “Edge Media” section. It offers one-click configuration for audio-video on-demand scenarios, enhancing playback experiences through capabilities such as video preloading and chunk optimization. Additionally, it provides real-time transcoding, encryption, screenshot capabilities, enabling instant access to media processing results, reducing transcoding and storage costs, and enhancing efficiency for multimedia businesses.

The report noted Tencent’s strength as a growing global footprint beyond its domestic market. We believe EdgeOne has become one of the top choices for global business scenarios going overseas, and also a preferred option for international companies entering the Chinese market. In the international market, EdgeOne is highly recognized by customers, achieving deep coverage in Northeast Asia gaming markets with a coverage rate of 80% among the top 10 revenue-generating gaming companies in South Korea.

In addition to its rich industry experience, since its launch, EdgeOne’s technological and product capabilities have been highly recognized across various sectors. It has been selected as a representative vendor in Gartner’s “Market Guide for DDoS Mitigation Solutions”, “Market Guide for Cloud Web Application and API Protection”, and “Market Guide for Edge Distribution Platforms”. According to Omdia’s “DDoS Prevention Technology Market Tracker”, Tencent Cloud EdgeOne holds the top market share for DDoS solutions in the Asia-Pacific region. In the evaluation of edge computing functions conducted by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), EdgeOne has demonstrated superior performance compared to its competitors. Moreover, Tencent Cloud with its EdgeOne is the only vendor that fully meets the standards set by CAICT in terms of edge security acceleration capabilities, making EdgeOne the pioneering case study of CAICT’s edge computing. In collaboration with CAICT, Tencent Cloud has also fully engaged in the standard development process by jointly publishing a white paper on the Edge Serverless domain.

In the future, Tencent Cloud’s EdgeOne will continue to promote technological innovation and product optimization to meet the significant acceleration demand and security challenges faced by enterprises in the process of digital transformation in the global market. It aims to drive business innovation and enterprise development to a higher level in various industries.

Haloid Solutions Expands Access to Radio Equipment by Offering Flexible Financing and Leasing Solutions Named HaloidFLEX

April 18, 2026

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As part of Haloid Solutions’ long-term commitment to helping businesses and municipalities acquire critical communications equipment despite budgetary constraints, Haloid now offers specialized financing and leasing programs through its HaloidFLEX program.

Designed to ensure that companies and governments have the equipment they need without costly capital expenditures outlays, HaloidFLEX offers financing for equipment purchased directly from manufacturers or local radio dealers. HaloidFLEX financing offers zero percent and low-interest options as well as predictable monthly payments for qualified buyers. HaloidFLEX clients can even opt to incorporate extended support services and protections into their financing to prepare for accidents, theft, or equipment losses. This gives companies peace of mind with one low monthly payment.

For organizations that don’t want or need to own equipment long-term, the HaloidFLEX leasing program offers similar benefits with potential tax advantages. Companies can lease brand new equipment and upgrade or return it at lease-end as needed. For companies seeking flexible options – or those that are interested in upgrading to the latest technology as it becomes available – leasing makes perfect sense.

One of the added benefits of each program is that HaloidFLEX allows clients to bundle services and protections that would normally be billed separately. Accidental damage, theft, and loss protections can be put in place, so that there’s never a lapse in communication if a radio fails. Extended warranties are also available upon request, so companies can customize their financing and protection to fit their budget and safeguard their equipment simultaneously.

According to a Haloid Solutions spokesperson, “Bundling expenses simply makes sense. It reduces the need for multiple policies and flexes with organizations to ensure critical communication equipment is available when needed while guaranteeing that the company’s investment is protected for the life of the equipment.”

HaloidFLEX financing and leasing programs are available to qualified businesses and municipalities nationwide. To learn more or request a customized quote, visit HaloidSolutions.com.

Haloid Solutions is the go-to resource for U.S. businesses and municipalities in search of financing and leasing for two-way radios, walkie talkies, communications equipment, accessories, and services.

April 18, 2026

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Earth Day draws global attention to environmental responsibility, Vipboss, a specialist manufacturer and developer of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs for energy storage and mobility applications, is underscoring its long‑term commitment to sustainable energy practices through its Environmental Advocacy. This advocacy is devoid of ornate language; its inspiration stems from the brand’s unwavering conviction in LiFePO4 batteries as a green energy solution. To align this message with practical action, the brand is also running a themed sales campaign on its official website during April 18th to 30th. It highlights how practical product solutions, rather than abstract concepts, can support cleaner energy use in everyday life.

Across the world, energy consumption patterns are undergoing rapid change. Households, outdoor users, and light‑mobility sectors are increasingly seeking energy systems that are safe, sustainable, and low‑emission. Within this shift, LiFePO4 batteries have emerged as a preferred technology for clean‑energy applications. Their long service life, high safety profile, and absence of cobalt, which is an element associated with higher environmental and ethical risks, position them as a responsible choice in the global transition toward greener power.

LiFePO4 technology forms the foundation of Vipboss’s approach to sustainable energy. Its extended cycle life reduces the frequency of battery replacement, lowering resource consumption and easing the environmental burden associated with disposal. The material’s inherent stability also minimizes the risk of thermal runaway, offering a safer experience in homes, recreational vehicles, and public environments. In practical use cases such as home backup systems, RV travel, and golf‑course operations, LiFePO4 batteries deliver efficient storage and stable output, helping reduce reliance on fossil‑fuel‑based energy sources and supporting lower‑carbon lifestyles.

Vipboss’s environmental advocacy extends beyond the technical advantages of its products. The brand promotes responsible energy use as an integral part of sustainable living, emphasizing that product design and informed application must work together to achieve meaningful environmental outcomes. As a provider of energy solutions for home, travel, and leisure scenarios, Vipboss continues to participate in the long‑term process of green transformation through ongoing technological refinement and product evolution.

Earth Day serves as a reminder that lasting environmental impact is built through small, consistent actions. Looking ahead, Vipboss will continue advancing safer, more durable, and more efficient energy products that support individuals and families in adopting more sustainable energy habits. Through these efforts, the brand aims to contribute enduring value to the wider adoption of clean energy and the collective pursuit of a more sustainable future.
