30 March 2017, Shenzhen, China – ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile Internet, today launched its Big Video Premium over-the-top (OTT) solution, at TV Connect 2017.

As we enter the Big Video era, multiple new video delivery methods have emerged, and undoubtedly OTT is a key trend for the future of video services. Based on its 20 years of experience in the video industry and in-depth analysis of OTT development and trends, ZTE launched its innovative Premium OTT solution. The solution focuses on the requirements of operators, brings subscribers the best possible video experience, helps operators to save costs and shortens time-to-market (TTM).

Multicast adaptive bit rate (M-ABR) and low latency technologies enhance user experience and reduce operator CAPEX

OTT multicast greatly reduces the pressure on an operator’s backbone network and transmission network. ABR technology can always provide appropriate-bitrate video streams for subscribers according to the changing network bandwidth at the terminal side. The video segmentation, aggregation and optimisation technologies provide OTT subscribers with a low-latency experience as good as IPTV LiveTV. At present, the latency of end-to-end OTT LiveTV can be kept to less than 5 seconds.

Just-in-time packaging (JITP) & multi-digital rights management (DRM) technology significantly reduces operator CAPEX

Supporting JITP and mainstream protocols including HLS, DASH, and MSS, the OTT platform can be used with all kinds of terminals, enabling operators to reach more subscribers. JITP packages and transmits content only upon subscriber request, so only one copy needs to be stored. This helps operators save on storage. In addition, the multi-protocol bit streams are encrypted through multi-DRM, and decrypted through DRM supported by the native player on the terminal, which greatly reduces investment on terminal DRM licenses.

Cloud DVR technology reduces operator CAPEX and enhances user experience

Cloud-based storage can save on investment and meet subscribers’ needs for catch-up TV. Multiple business models create more profit earning opportunities for operators.

Fully cloudified deployment, open modular architecture, rapid and flexible high customisation, and short TTM
