On Feb 11th 2020, NKN officially launched dataRide, a suite of decentralized communication products that fully utilize NKN’s global network. dataRide provides secure messaging, streaming and direct file transfer services for person to person, machine-human as well as machine-machine communication.

Here are just a few real world use cases for dataRide:

Developer Benefits for dataRide powered by NKN:

  1. Simple & Lightweight SDK: just a few lines of code, popular language support
  2. Free to Try, Low Cost to Deploy: Freemium business model
  3. Free & Open Source: no proprietary platform lock-ins, no hidden backdoors

Together with nCDN, dataRide completes NKN’s suite of decentralized communication products and solutions. Best of all, most of the dataRide use cases are available to deploy today. Developers and enterprise customers can head to our dedicated dataRide website for detailed information, use cases, code snippets and even an interactive test tool to experience and build with dataRide.

NKN China team help fight Coronavirus

Despite Coronavirus, NKN Beijing team members are all healthy and working hard from home. We are used to remote working and use a full suite of NKN’s own tools (d-chat, TUNA, nsh) and collaboration software. Therefore we are full steam ahead in both technology and business development, as well as supporting our customers, community, and partners.

We are also doing our small part: donating bandwidth & NKN communication tools to help enterprises collaborate remotely & securely. This is a joint effort by NKN, InfoQ (极客邦科技), and China Mobile (中国移动广东江门公司，Guangdong Jiangmen).

Let’s all stay healthy and strong, and get through these tough times together!
