On this in-depth collaboration between FFALCON Technology and Tencent, Mr. Li Dongsheng commented, "This cooperation is a key step in establishing the strategy for smart living room. We will commence a collaborative operation, which is devoted to proceeding in a multi-dimensional approach towards bringing together hardware products, content services, big data integration, and artificial intelligence, in order to capture the valuable family internet gateway, and to conquer the most important area in the era of interconnectedness."

The inaugural TV product of FFALCON Technology, I55 series, has been the market's focal point since its grand debut.
