Huawei reveals VideoSenses, strategies for broadband networks

4G networks and videoTelecom software and network giant Huawei has revealed the benefits of VideoSense, a video experience visualization management solution.

China Mobile, Shandong branch has already deployed Huawei VideoSense solution.

Launched at Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF) 2016 in Germany, this video solution marks a shift from the KPI-centric passive network O&M to user experience-centric proactive network management. It delivers video experience with visualized, manageable, and optimizable features to help operators achieve business success.

Operators’ video services involve the video platform, distribution network, home network, and terminals. Huawei says the traditional KPI-centric O&M lacks the capability of preventing group faults.

Huawei VideoSense solution provides proactive management on video experience from the perspectives of experience visualization, network optimization, and proactive O&M, enabling operators to improve their video experience guarantee capability.

Huawei VideoSense solution has the core competence of KQI detection for 2 million users. This video solution offers real-time collection of network-wide user experience data and uses U-vMOS to analyze and measure the video experience data.

This video solution increases the efficiency of collecting network KPIs from 5 minutes to 30s, which helps identify network issues such as congestion with sharper precision. Operators can optimize their networks based on the identified issues, and this in turn enhances their investment efficiency.

“The increasing maturity of the UHD video industry brings more opportunities for operators to provision video services. Managing and maintaining video experience for large-scale user deployment has become a common challenge for most operators,” said He Yibo, vice-president of Huawei Network Product Line.

Research and Markets says global video analytics market — hardware, software, and services — will grow from $858 million in 2015 to $3 billion by 2022, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.6 percent.

Meanwhile, the Ultra-Broadband Forum 2016 saw telecom operators including BBF, Telefonica, TIM, KPN, Orange, du, as well as the Linux Foundation sharing their viewpoints about the next steps in the development of Ultra-Broadband.

“In the intelligent world, telecom operators should rethink their role and business model in the B2C, B2B and IoT markets. Telecom operators’ core business proposition should be centered on the concept of FMC 3.0. By building up a ubiquitous, experience-driven, agile and on-demand ultra-broadband network,” said David Wang, president of Huawei Network Solutions.

The telecom industry is witnessing the accelerating growth of 4K and VR along with large-scale enterprise digitalization and cloudification and the deepening development of industry IoT. The ultra-broadband all-connected network is going to be the major driving force of the emergence of all things sensing and all things connected.

Huawei releases FMC 3.0 concept

In B2C markets, operators need to position video as the core basic service to fulfill their customers’ continuously growing expectations in user experience.

In B2B markets, since enterprise customers require integrated ICT services which can provide the “R.O.A.D.S” experience instead of basic communications services, operators need to cloudify themselves completely.

In addition, operators need to use IoT as an entry point into the digital transformation of vertical markets.

Beyond human beings, operators need to connect everything. Telecoms need to set up a network that compels the business success of the Smart Home and the Agile IoT by extending network coverage from “the last mile” to “the last inch”.
