DigitalGlobe's WorldView-2 Satellite
Satellite imagery provider DigitalGlobe has signed an agreement to provide leading Chinese Internet portal Tencent with images of 350 major Chinese cities via DigitalGlobe's exclusive distributor in China, China Siwei.
DigitalGlobe's imagery will first be integrated into Tencent's online mapping service; Moving forward, Tencent will have the ability to integrate the imagery across the full range of their social media and entertainment services, including their QQ instant messaging service, which is today one of the most widely used social media applications in China.
"With the addition of Tencent, one of the world's most influential and rapidly growing technology companies, DigitalGlobe now has relationships with the three largest internet companies in China,“ said Takayuki Odawara, vice president of Asia Pacific commercial operations at DigitalGlobe.
