Smart technologies to better enable connected cities, governments, enterprises and consumers are the focus at CommunicAsia2015,
EnterpriseIT2015
and BroadcastAsia2015 at the Marina Bay Sands Singapore from 2 to 5 June 2015.
Set against a backdrop of more than seven billion* global mobile connections and US$59 billion to be spent in Asia Pacific to enable the Internet of Things (IoT)**, the events bring together more than 1,800 exhibitors from 56 countries and regions. Highlights include innovations in 5G, big data, cloud, connected devices, IoT and over-the-top (OTT) solutions.
Governments around the world have been investing in city automation and improving efficiencies in areas such as transportation, infrastructure, healthcare, education, logistics and energy consumption. This June, visitors can expect:
· Huawei will be at CommunicAsia2015 showing how their solutions can lead to a better connected world. Technologies such as the Eye Robot and Smart Lamp Post which help with public safety and surveillance. The lamp post is a win win win as it can be used for advertising and to offer Wi-Fi connectivity in addition to providing lighting. The company will also be showcasing the world's first sapphire crystal for Android Wear watch, as well as its Talkband N1 wearable.
· Singapore company Mobiquest will be introducing netBin to Asia. This is the region’s first Smart Bin Management System aimed to increase efficiency of city wide trash removal. The company has already received a contract from the National Environment Agency. This solution has sensors that send out notifications when bins are full with waste to help with the route planning of cleaners. Instead of turning up at fixed times, they can turn up to empty the bins when they are actually full.
Mobiquest will also be beta-launching AquaSmart, an environment monitoring platform that tracks air pollution, noise level, and more, to help create more livable cities, on June 2.
· Skyshot, a Singapore company and a specialist in time-lapse and aerial cinematography, will be showcasing the TBox Titan, the only armoured, weather-proof time-lapse camera system in the world capable of delivering 8K resolution for automated long-duration (up to six years) time-lapse.
To launch globally at BroadcastAsia2015, the TBox Titan was two years in the making. Also a drone systems integrator, Skyshot utilises drones from makers such as DJI to design creative aerial solutions across multiple industries.
Aided by IoT, the digital universe is expected to double in size every two years and will multiply by 10-fold to 44 trillion gigabytes by 2020***. The huge amount of data generated can enable businesses to better understand their customers, determine opportunities to innovate and be more productive. The events will also give attendees the opportunity to see how technology can enable smart enterprises.
· Singapore-based DFRC, which makes solutions for smart cities, will be showcasing City Analyser, a system that enables the analysis of crowd movements and behaviour. This is achieved by extracting accurate and anonymous information based on SIM card identification about footfall, stay duration, mobility, distribution and demographics. For large population sizes, the solution can provide insights critical to improving business environment blueprints and work processes through more accurate determination of crowd habits, enabling targeted and location-based offers. The system has been used for the Singapore Night Festival and Interpol World 2015.
“Year on year, we have brought insights and innovations of the latest and best from around the world to the events. Addressing the opportunities and challenges of current trends, the events have been the platforms where stalwart brands like Huawei launch new innovations and impart knowledge. In line with industry trends of 5G, cloud, big data, IoT, security and more, the 2015 programme focuses on empowering smart businesses and cities for this world of global connectivity,” said Agnes Leung, Assistant Project Director, CommunicAsia & EnterpriseIT, Singapore Exhibition Services.
Proliferating demand for multiscreen viewing and OTT has resulted in more and more consumers accessing information and video content on their smart devices, anywhere and at any time.
· Exhibitor Ooyala’s recent Global Video Index** found that 34% of all video plays were on tablets and smartphones. TV content is no longer consumed only in the living room, nor confined to linear broadcast delivery (Editor's note: delivered at specific times), with consumers taking control of when and where they want to view their favourite programmes.
Calvin Koh, Assistant Project Director, BroadcastAsia, Singapore Exhibition Services, said that OTT is a consumer trend that cannot be ignored by the media industry and that there will be more than 110 exhibitors focusing on OTT solutions alone at the show, Accedo, Ooyala, Ericsson and Brightcove among them. He quoted research from Media Partners Asia Research & Consulting, which estimated that the total Asia Pacific market for online video services, worth US$4.7 billion in 2014, will be a US$12.4 billion market by 2020. Advertising revenues will more than double, from US$2.1 billion to US$5.5 billion over the same forecast period, and the regional OTT video subscriber base will likewise expand from 494 milllion in 2014 to 977 million by 2020.
“Accessibility to mobile devices and connectivity has changed the way people consume content, resulting in cord-cutting and TV everywhere trends. Alongside Asia’s changing consumption patterns, we designed our programmes to reflect the latest in OTT technology, insight to media analytics, cord-cutting and more, catering to audiences around the region. BroadcastAsia continues to deliver value by providing insight and best practices from industry leaders, and maintaining a platform where visitors can experience the latest developments firsthand,” he said.
New sections at BroadcastAsia include a TV Everywhere! Cluster for end-to-end non-linear broadcasting solutions, and a Post Production Hub where end-users can share their experiences of production techniques.
