About Net 263

Net263 Ltd. (stock code: SZ.002467), established in 1997, is a significant player in China's digital and intelligent communication services sector. The company's origins trace back to being one of the first private Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in China, famously named after "263," the number used for its initial dial-up internet access service. A pivotal early milestone was the 1998 launch of a personal free mailbox system, which rapidly attracted over two million users. This was followed by a strategic shift in 2002 to a paid enterprise email model, which established a cornerstone of its commercial operations.

The company's journey is marked by consistent evolution and expansion. In 2010, Net263 was successfully listed on the Shenzhen A-share market, a testament to its growth. Throughout the 2010s, Net263 diversified its portfolio through strategic acquisitions and product launches. Key moves included entering the corporate meeting market with teleconferencing services in 2011, obtaining a mobile resale business license in 2014, and acquiring live broadcast manufacturer Gensee in 2015. This expansion continued with a joint venture with NTT Group for international data center operations in 2016 and the acquisition of i-Access Network Limited in 2018 to bolster its global data communications capabilities.

Net263's business is structured around three core segments: global network, intelligent communications, and digital services. It serves a diverse client base that includes over 150,000 enterprise customers and millions of individual users across government, finance, manufacturing, and education sectors. The company generates revenue by providing a comprehensive suite of solutions. In the intelligent communications space, this includes enterprise email, video conferencing, live broadcasting, and call center services, increasingly integrated with AI to create intelligent assistants and customer service platforms. The global network division offers infrastructure services like data centers, virtual private networks, and international data links. The digital services arm focuses on emerging technologies such as digital humans and AI agents to enhance operational efficiency for its clients.

Under the leadership of Chairman and President Li Yujie, who holds a B.S. in Computer Science and an MBA, the company continues to innovate. Its product offerings are designed to provide integrated solutions for a globalized market. For example, the 263 Global brand is dedicated to serving multinational corporations with ICT solutions, while its enterprise email service features robust security, global accessibility, and extensive administrative controls. The company's cloud communication strategy integrates email, teleconferencing, and instant messaging into a unified platform to support modern digital workplaces.
