Lifesize video conferencing Borrow cloud computing video communication Two of the fire

The rapid development of cloud computing and mobility will hopefully bring new changes and opportunities to the video communication market.

Can cloud computing and mobility make new waves in the video communications market, changing existing market patterns and creating new business models? Which companies can take the opportunity to stand out? In the upcoming "2011 China International Information and Communication Technology exhibition", may be able to emerge, let us wait and see.

The video conference borrows the Cloud to calculate

Today, in the field of ICT, cloud computing is almost an ear to listen to cocoon vocabulary, with the landing of various clouds, but also more and more recognition of the market. Also is by the real benefit that the cloud brings, many enterprises begin to take the Dongfeng of cloud computing, change own business model, seize market opportunity. This includes video communications vendors.

Although the video conferencing market in recent years has thrived in China, but customers are concentrated in the government, the military, large enterprises and other areas can bear high costs, small and medium-sized enterprises due to limited funds are limited to the door. Moreover, it is very important that video conferencing is not required for daily office, there is a lot of idle time, the utilization rate is low. From this perspective, there is also a waste of resources. The advent of cloud computing provides a very good solution to the idea, the cloud with the need to use, on-demand payment is undoubtedly just enough to make up.

Just recently, Lifesize announced the introduction of infrastructure cloud services, which allow users to enjoy the experience of high-end video conferencing systems without having to buy equipment. The infrastructure cloud service is just one of the video conferencing cloud services, and besides, "Software as a Service" SaaS is also an important service way.

Lifesize Company has been working to achieve the low bandwidth situation of the "network true" skills, in this product, provides the highest quality visual movement control and enhancement, accompanies the High Definition Video assembly meeting system's muster, but the value is the homogeneous competition product 1/4, as well as can call, for the vast small user's utilization habit, It is more than 480 million of registered users in terms of the mobility of experience results or products.

Video Conferencing Cloud market outbreak, on the one hand from the needs of SMEs, on the other hand, also benefit from the overall cloud computing progress. With the continuous landing of various clouds, the entire cloud industry has gradually entered a benign operation track. Along with storage and virtualization technology to a higher level, security technology continues to evolve and equipment costs lower, the entire cloud ecosystem development momentum is good.

No need to buy teleconferencing devices, no servers and storage devices, no professional IT technical teams to maintain and operate, no continuous upgrades to hardware and software, and everything from the cloud to the Internet.

Compared with other cloud services, video conferencing cloud services, because it rarely involves the storage of information such as confidential data, from a security point of view does not cause too much concern. On the other hand, this model can save cost on the one hand, bring better communication experience on the other hand, so the market prospect is promising.

Video calls Moving

During the 2009 communication exhibition, the major operators of the 3G video phone placed great expectations, and even hope that it will become a 3G killer application. However, the reality is very cruel, mobile video phone did not set off in the market how much spray, even the ripples did not swing up. By the 2010 communications show, we saw that operators were applying 3G video to the field of surveillance, in elevators, disaster prevention and agricultural production. So what are the new developments in the 2011?

Take a look at some of the changes in the mobile and wireless communications industry over the past year.

First, the good news, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information technology released by the end of July 2011, the number of 3G users in China has exceeded 87 million. From this point of view, 3G applications have a good user technology, and the video phone will have how much development space is worth looking forward to.

In addition, smart phones and tablet computers and other intelligent terminals quickly spread. In the past year, Chinese operators have started to subsidize smartphones with hefty subsidies, reducing the price of smartphones to thousand dollars, which has largely stimulated the increase in user numbers and thus spawned more 3G users. Cameras are already standard for smartphones, and this provides a basic condition for mobile video communications.

The third significant change is also evident from the 2010 communication show. During the exhibition, operators deployed a Wi-Fi network in the field, that is, since then, we saw operators began to vigorously develop Wi-Fi, to 2011 years, the 3 operators simply want to start Wi-Fi competition. The wide deployment of Wi-Fi will help operators share cellular network traffic, while providing mobile users with another low-cost or even free wireless internet access. Through Wi-Fi, users can do without the need to pay for cellular traffic charges in the case of video calls, and this is undoubtedly a great temptation.

The last thing to mention is that the ubiquity of intelligent terminals is the advent of various applications, as well as in the area of mobile video communications. Not long ago, for example, Dialogic announced that teaming Voipswitch had successfully developed a mobile video conferencing solution based on open standards that would provide off-the-shelf smartphone video client applications for Android phones and iphones.

In view of the above, the video call may break the inherent deadlock and usher in a new stage of development.

2016 Global mobile video telephony subscribers will exceed 130 million

By 2016, global mobile video telephony subscribers will be more than 130 million, accounting for about one-tenth of all smartphone users, according to a new study by Juniper Research, a market research firm. The outlook for mobile video telephony has improved over the past 18 months, according to the report, as major industry manufacturers have launched mobile video telephony services, smartphones have added front-facing cameras and improved basic technology.

Juniper the role of voice in the mobile market will change with the introduction of other applications such as gaming and social networking. Facebook's alliance with some mobile VoIP service providers and the High-profile Microsoft takeover of Skype will accelerate this trend.
