Strategic partnership combines TVU’s cloud-native production platform with Tencent Cloud’s global infrastructure to power next-generation live streaming workflows

LAS VEGAS, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TVU Networks, a leader in cloud-native live video solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Tencent Cloud to launch a next-generation cloud-based media production and distribution platform at NAB 2026. The joint solution empowers broadcasters, content creators, and enterprises to elevate the live streaming experience and unlock new revenue streams.

The global media industry is undergoing a structural shift. According to Omdia, total revenue from traditional TV and online video is projected to reach $1.03 trillion by 2030, with online video advertising expected to grow from $309 billion to $540 billion over the same period. The TVU–Tencent Cloud platform is purpose-built to help customers capture this growth — combining professional cloud production with internet-scale interactivity and monetization.

The platform serves three major segments: broadcasters and OTT providers launching agile FAST channels with global CDN distribution; media platforms and creators requiring mobile-first, broadcast-quality production from anywhere; and enterprises producing high-profile live events with professional-grade multi-camera setups and massive concurrent viewership.

At the core is TVU’s cloud-native microservices architecture — proven in the 2024 Paris Games Torch Relay, a global club football championship spanning remote production across nine countries, and BBC’s UK General Election coverage with 369 simultaneous live streams. Deep integration with Tencent Cloud delivers five key advantages: ultra-low latency streaming via intelligent routing across global edge nodes; elastic scalability powered by TKE container services; cloud-native optimization for peak reliability; AI-powered production including automated subtitles, intelligent editing, and content moderation; and enterprise-grade end-to-end encryption from acquisition through distribution.

Paul Shen, CEO of TVU Networks, stated: “TVU has always been committed to making professional production capabilities more efficient and flexible through cloud-native architecture. Tencent Cloud’s deep expertise and customer insights in the media sector are highly complementary to TVU’s product and technology strengths in cloud production — and that’s the foundation that brought us together. The goal of this joint solution is clear: to help customers build a complete pipeline from content production to audience engagement to monetization, making AI&cloud-based production a true engine for business growth.”

Yan Peng added: “Through our partnership with TVU, we can rapidly help customers build a next-generation technology infrastructure — enabling global acquisition, global production, and global distribution — while driving commercial growth through internet-based services.”

NANNING, China, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from china-asean-media.com.

The 14-day “2026 Vietnam-China Cross-Border Tourism AI Empowerment Cooperation and Exchange Program” successfully concluded on April 19 in Nanning, Guangxi. Co-hosted by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China) and the Departments of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Quang Ninh, Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang provinces (Vietnam), the event brought together nearly 30 tourism officials and industry representatives from the four Vietnamese localities.

With the theme “Vietnam-China AI + Cross-Border Tourism Exchange and Cooperation,” the program combined expert lectures, case studies on AI applications, and field visits. Participants gained insights into ASEAN-China tourism policies, AI-driven cross-border cooperation models, and smart tourism technologies. Hands-on training enabled them to use AI tools for decision-making, product development, and destination branding.

The delegation conducted field studies in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, and Hechi. They visited the China-ASEAN AI Innovation and Cooperation Center, the “Easy Visit Guangxi” platform, the No. Wang Cultural Industrial Park, and the BAO JUN base, experiencing Guangxi’s smart, industrial, landscape, and wellness tourism offerings.

A meaningful part of the program was retracing President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary footsteps in Guangxi, including visits to the former site of Yucai School in Nanning, the former residence of Ho Chi Minh in Liuzhou, and the “September 2” School site in Guilin. On April 17, all participants attended the launch ceremony of the 2026 Vietnam-China Border People’s Carnival in Nanning, witnessing the deep friendship and mutual support between the border communities of both nations.

At the closing ceremony on April 18, a cross-border tourism product design competition was held. The team from Quang Ninh won the Best Design Award, while teams from Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang received Excellence Awards. Mr. Lưu Bá Mạc, Vice Director of Lang Son’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, praised the program for fostering practical cooperation and opening new directions for the “comrades and brothers” friendship between local authorities.

The program not only provided Vietnamese tourism professionals with valuable knowledge in AI and smart tourism but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation in building shared tourism information platforms, developing smart products, and enhancing data connectivity. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to advancing high-quality development of the cultural and tourism industry through AI, contributing to the strategic Vietnam-China community with a shared future.

LAHORE, Pakistan, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL Solar made a strong impact at this year’s Solar Pakistan exhibition (17^th-19^th April, at Expo Centre Lahore) by unveiling a range of advanced solar solutions designed to meet the growing demand for low-carbon energy in South Asia and the Middle East.
