Taking AfricaCom as an opportunity to communicate with operators, communication providers (CPs) and consulting firms from around the world, ZTE used its Big Video Summit to present the video development trends and challenges in Africa. Subjects discussed included the development of over-the-top (OTT) video services, in addition to opportunities and challenges for operators and content delivery. Operators were concerned with how to provide a consistent multi-screen experience across significantly different networks, as well as how to operate video content and explore video services, and how to work with operators’ traditional services to increase revenue.

At the summit, ZTE highlighted its Big Video 4K+ solution, which delivers an anytime multi-screen user experience, big data smart operation and maintenance from a cloudized platform. It can meet diverse service requirements, provide converged support for both fixed and mobile networks, and is able to handle different operation environments across the African continent. ZTE also demonstrated its series of 4K ultra-HD smart terminals including an Android TV STB and home media centre, which provides real 4K, plus smart and converged features.

In addition to enabling video sharing and interaction, ZTE’s video service and smart terminals provide a clear, smooth and high-speed video experience for users in this current Big Video era. ZTE also demonstrated some of the features from its Big Video 4K+ solution, including low-latency VR live broadcast, anytime multi-screen, smart operation and maintenance, as well as voiceprint smart ads.
