Recently, IPG won the first batch of STB orders from CIK Telecom of Canada, which is the first batch of video products successfully entering the North American market. It is also another historic breakthrough after our STB products broke through the South American and Chilean markets in the second quarter of this year.
CIK has a complete and comprehensive telecommunications infrastructure network. At present, it has more than 350000 users. Its main products include high-speed networks, home phones, televisions, home security, home health monitoring systems and multimedia entertainment services. The telecom market in Canada is highly competitive. There are telecom giants in the past and small and medium-sized Internet suppliers focusing on low prices in the future. In the face of these competitive pressures, CIK needs to constantly achieve breakthroughs and innovations in technology and product performance to meet the growing demand of users for intelligent video.
With the help of IPG, CIK has upgraded 4K high-definition video terminals, increased user malls, online games, on-demand theaters and other value-added services, and brought better viewing experience to local users, as well as continuously upgraded high-quality services. In addition, the launch of the broadband+video package has greatly enhanced CIK's competitiveness in the Canadian broadband market. IPG's products and services have helped CIK consolidate its market position and expand its market share.
In addition to set-top box terminals, IPG also provides CIK Telecom with a complete set of optional service packages such as the background system of self built live channels, on-demand management system, and CDN content distribution system. These platform extension services can support multi-source adaptive acceleration, that is, multiple server resources are used to accelerate a video source at the same time to solve the problem of jamming. In consideration of the customer's business characteristics, IPG has also customized and developed a point based video analysis technology for CIK's overseas Chinese customer groups. With this technology, CIK can achieve video analysis and aggregation of dozens of video websites at home and abroad, bringing more colorful and exciting video life to overseas Chinese.
In the future, IPG and CIK will further deepen their cooperation, jointly explore cutting-edge technologies, achieve continuous upgrading of products and services, accelerate the deployment of FTTH, promote the vigorous development of video communication business in Canada, and bring the experience of using ultra wide, high-speed and high-definition video to more users.
