What Infinet does
Infinet (玖鼎贵宾厅), legally Northern United Broadcasting & Television Network Co., Ltd. (北方联合广播电视网络股份有限公司), is a provincial state-owned cultural enterprise and subsidiary of China Broadcasting Network, headquartered in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. Founded in February 2010 and rebranded in 2017, the company operates as an integrated network operator combining cable television, broadband internet, 5G mobile services (192号段), and cloud-based media delivery across Liaoning Province. Its technology infrastructure centers on a hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) access network, an OTN (Optical Transport Network) backbone achieving provincial-city-county three-level interconnection, the 700MHz 5G wireless network, and the proprietary 北方云 (North Cloud) platform enabling cross-screen content delivery, time-shifted TV, interactive VOD, and cloud gaming.
The company serves both residential and government/enterprise markets through a multi-channel distribution model: 13 prefecture-level city branches and ~20 subsidiaries provide physical service halls, online business halls, and 24/7 customer hotlines for consumer subscribers, while dedicated government enterprise service teams handle Smart City, Snow Project (雪亮工程), emergency broadcasting, digital countryside, and cultural big data contracts. Revenue streams span subscription cable TV, broadband internet, 5G mobile, interactive VOD, enterprise dedicated lines, IoT connectivity, and the recently launched 山海辽宁·文旅惠民卡 cultural tourism card (199 yuan/year aggregating 14 cities plus cross-province access). Strategic alliances with Huawei (ICT infrastructure, 5G), Tencent (content, cloud gaming), and China Tower (resource sharing) anchor the technology and ecosystem layer.
Infinet holds 5,800+ employees, covers 10+ million users across all Liaoning cities/counties/townships, and operates 3.4 million household TV reception terminals. The company is positioning to evolve from a traditional cable operator into an integrated '5G+TV+broadband+voice+satellite+X' full-service carrier, with AI-enhanced terminals, cultural big data platforms, and smart city/emergency broadcasting capabilities increasingly central to its enterprise value proposition.

Infinet competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Wasu Media (华数传媒): Zhejiang-based cable/broadband and digital media operator offering similar HFC broadband, VOD, smart city, and enterprise ICT services. Comparable converged-services profile and provincial SOE structure serving analogous consumer/enterprise segments.
- Shandong Cable Network (山东广电网络): Shandong provincial cable and 5G operator with similar HFC backbone, broadband, VOD, and government-enterprise offerings. Directly comparable peer given parallel provincial SOE status and recent 700MHz/5G deployment activity highlighted in company news.
- Gehua Cable (歌华有线): Beijing municipal cable TV and broadband operator with comparable HFC network, broadband, VOD, and enterprise service stack. Closely comparable as a directly competing provincial-level state-owned cable operator under the same China Broadcasting Network umbrella.
- Jiangsu Cable (江苏有线): Largest provincial cable operator in China by subscribers, offering HFC cable, broadband, VOD, 5G and enterprise services. Closest direct peer given near-identical product portfolio, SOE structure under China Broadcasting Network, and convergence strategy.
- Hebei Cable Network (河北广电网络): Hebei provincial cable/broadband SOE also under China Broadcasting Network, providing the same cable TV, broadband, and enterprise services mix. Comparable as a neighboring-northeast/北方 provincial peer with similar product breadth.
- Tianjin Binhai Cable / Tianwei Shixun (天威视讯): Shenzhen-based provincial cable/broadband operator with HFC network, VOD, broadband, and digital media services. Comparable as a smaller municipal/provincial cable SOE pursuing the same convergence of TV, broadband, and value-added services.
Broad incumbents
- China Telecom (中国电信): National wireline+wireless carrier with established broadband and 5G services across Liaoning, including enterprise data and government smart-city contracts. Broad incumbent competing on the same broadband, 5G, and enterprise segments.
- China Unicom (中国联通): National carrier operating mobile, broadband and enterprise services in Liaoning. Competes head-to-head with Infinet on 5G and broadband and similarly pursues government/enterprise digitalization contracts in the province.
- China Mobile (中国移动): National mobile carrier with dominant 5G and fixed broadband presence in Liaoning. Competes directly with Infinet on 5G mobile, broadband, and enterprise dedicated-line services, but at vastly larger scale and earlier 5G commercialization.
- China Broadcasting Network (中国广电网络): National parent SOE of Infinet and central state-owned broadcaster authorized to issue 5G spectrum (192 segment) and operate the national radio-TV backbone. Comparable as the central anchor of the same broadcasting/telecom infrastructure play, though at national rather than provincial scale.
