Your traffic

Choose a workload. We’ll estimate traffic and requests for you.

Estimated monthly costs

USD per month, before tax. Load balancing and unpriced extras are excluded.

What’s included?

Estimates cover cacheable content. Origin and optional services are added only when you enter their rates. Plans differ in features and coverage; check their terms before buying.

Advanced settings
Split traffic between regions

Percentages must total 100%. The same split applies to bytes and requests. CloudFront charges by serving edge location; this is an approximation. Shared free allowances are allocated proportionally.

Origin and optional services

Paid tiers start with this workload; estimates do not include other account traffic. Enter your own effective rates after origin allowances. Reads use request misses; egress uses byte fill. Functions assume one invocation per viewer request. Zero leaves an extra out of the estimate; it does not mean your origin is free.

Compare a quote you received

This is your quote, not a published provider price. Use an effective rate for the selected traffic mix; tiers, included usage and commitments need to be reflected in your inputs. Sharing a scenario includes your quote details.

Presets are starting assumptions, not measured traffic. Video assumes one rendition and segment GETs; playlists, retries and extra audio tracks add requests. Fill is a byte ratio, not a request cache-hit rate. GB = 1 billion bytes; Google bills GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes; CloudFront estimates use binary GB as a billing assumption.

Overview

China Telecom offers regional CDN services for website assets, software downloads and media. Its Asia Pacific offer focuses on content delivery to audiences in China; the Europe offer covers live and recorded media as well as static content.

The listed company, China Telecom Corporation Limited, was incorporated in 2002 and is based in Beijing. The international website and regional contracting companies are distinct entities. Confirm which one supplies and supports the CDN service you buy.

Network

Regional offers use caching and streaming infrastructure alongside China Telecom connectivity. Ask the regional service team for the cache locations serving your account.

Current cache-city locations are unconfirmed; ask the regional service team which locations serve your audience. Ask for the locations and routing applicable to your contract, then test the actual audience networks before purchase.

✓ Supported · Partial: limited or separate-product support · ✗ Not supported · Not listed: unconfirmed. Some features need a separate product or plan.

The regional product pages describe:

  • Website/software delivery and live/on-demand streaming.
  • Dynamic HDS/HLS packaging.
  • Token and geographic access controls, with encrypted delivery.
  • Asia-Pacific DDoS protection and DRM/content-protection options.
  • Usage analytics and log-file queries in a web portal.

Confirm the selected region, supported DRM systems, licenses and contract coverage. Ask about raw-log export if usage reports are not enough for your monitoring workflow. HTTP/3, a specific TLS version, cache-purge timing, image transformation and a viewer-request runtime require product-specific confirmation.

Pricing

Current unit rates are unconfirmed. Obtain a proposal from the relevant regional China Telecom entity covering delivery, requests, support, optional services and contract terms.

Ask about trial limits and included usage. A missing public rate does not mean the service is unavailable.

Developer tools

The regional offers describe origin-storage choices and uploads using Aspera, FTP, SFTP, rsync or SCP. Their media portal provides reporting and log queries.

During onboarding, request the configuration API documentation, automation options and raw-log export terms for the regional service. Request their service documentation and confirm supported operations, authentication and limits before designing automation.

When it fits

  • Organizations evaluating China Telecom’s regional CDN offering for website assets, downloads or live/on-demand media.
  • Teams able to confirm the contracting entity, audience coverage and service requirements before deployment.

Before you choose

Get a proposal from the regional service team before making a price or coverage comparison. Check the required hostname approvals and licenses for your deployment.
