Huawei has co-hosted the Ultra-Broadband Summit 2016 in Singapore with the Broadband Commission, a regional telecom established by the ITU and UNESCO. The summit focused on how the private and public sectors can work together to accelerate the development of ultra-broadband infrastructure and services across the Asia Pacific region.
At his opening speech, Joe Deng, President of Carrier Business, Huawei Southern Pacific Region, said that the focus of the summit was to create win-win ultra-broadband development opportunities through industry collaboration with players across the ecosystem.
At the summit OVUM presented the world’s first Asia Pacific Video Experience Index, based on data collected from 17 countries across the Asia Pacific using the U-vMOS (User, Unified, Ubiquitous-Mean Opinion Score for Video) standard. According to the study, over the top (OTT) video is the growth engine for the visual entertainment industry, and Asia Pacific OTT is one of the fastest growing video sectors contributing to the 2020 digital lifestyle.
The biggest challenge with video as a basic service is network transformation, from technology-driven to customer experience-driven. The U-vMOS standard will be important for operators as a guide to establishing and offering the best experience-oriented networks, the analyst firm said.
Leading the Asia Pacific region is Singapore with the highest U-vMOS score, followed by New Zealand, Hong Kong, Australia, South Korea and Japan. Emerging markets clocked in lower U-vMOS scores.
“The move into a new era of gigaband will see a proliferation of services and trends such as 4K video, virtual reality, smart home and cloud services. Huawei believes that an ultrafast, agile and simplified network is a must to enable continuous innovation in those fronts. Let’s work together with policy makers, video content players and other industries to bring the benefits of gigaband to all,” said Daniel Tang, CTO, Fixed Network Business Unit, Huawei.
