Sohu.com Renews and Expands Its Annual Subscription with DigitalGlobe

DigitalGlobe, a global provider of high-resolution earth imagery solutions, announced that China's online media, search, gaming, community and mobile service group, Sohu.com Inc. (“Sohu”), has renewed its annual subscription for DigitalGlobe imagery and expanded its coverage from 44 cities to 100 cities.

This will enable Sohu to provide its end-users with more up-to-date maps, greater coverage of the Chinese landscape, and increased functionality in its personal navigation devices.

Sohu has used DigitalGlobe content for the last three years. This latest agreement extends Sohu’s access to DigitalGlobe’s Image Library. The Library offers customers over 1.8 billion square kilometers of highly accurate imagery, with 2 million square kilometers of fresh imagery added each day. Sohu is the first online map service provider in China to use satellite imagery.

Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Sohu expects to debut its expanded imagery content on its website in the first quarter of 2012.
