What Wangsu Science & Technology does

China's leading content delivery network (CDN) provider, accelerating internet content and cloud services delivery for enterprises.

Charges customers for the traffic and bandwidth it delivers across its network, so volume growth from video and live streaming is offset by falling unit prices, the main pressure in China's content-delivery market. A newer push into cloud security and edge computing aims to reduce reliance on bandwidth sales.

In one line: China's Akamai Technologies.

What could go right

  • Video/streaming and cloud traffic growth

What could go wrong

  • Price competition from cloud giants' bundled CDN
  • Bandwidth cost pressure

Moat: narrow (installed base, scale, data). Large distributed edge-node network built over years is costly for new entrants to replicate.
