[Shenzhen, China, 30 November, 2010] Huawei, a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, today announced that it has been selected as the provider to build an 80×40G WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) national backbone network for China Mobile. Upon its completion, the network wavelength capacity will be upgraded from 10G to 40G, which will enable China Mobile to offer more ultra-broadband services and bring an enriched service experience to its subscribers.

China Mobile’s significant investments in 3G and broadband have resulted in an increase in service traffic that has strained its legacy 10G backbone network nearly to the point of capacity. In response to this, China Mobile issued a call for bids in June 2010 for its Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou 40G national backbone network project. This project is the first trial of an OTN (optical transport network) national backbone network in China and it covers core areas in the Yangtze River delta, including Shanghai, Nanjing, and Hangzhou.

“Huawei’s industry-leading 40G solution and our experience in deploying 40G networks have enabled us to become the leader in the global optical transport industry and the global 40G industry,” said Christian Chua, president, Transport Network Product Line, Huawei. “Our 40G OTN solution will enable China Mobile to meet the growing service demands on its network so that its subscribers can enjoy an unmatched service experience.”

Huawei’s 40G OTN solution incorporates industry-leading technologies, such as ultra-high 40G bandwidth per wavelength, an ultra-large OTN capacity, and an OTN bandwidth pool, which enables the quick deployment of networks and the flexible and efficient provisioning of services. Huawei’s solution features an ODUk-SNCP protection mechanism that works at the electrical layer to dramatically enhance network reliability.

Huawei provides operators around the world with premium WDM/OTN, MSTP (multi-service transport platform)/Hybrid MSTP, microwave series products, as well as end-to-end transport solutions. According to a report released last month by the consulting firm Ovum, Huawei currently holds the top position in the global optical transport market and is also ranked number one in the global WDM/OTN and 40G market segments.

Since its inception in 1994 many different definitions of IPTV have appeared, including elementary streams over IP networks, transport streams over IP networks and a number of proprietary systems. The official definition approved by the International Telecommunication Union focus group on IPTV (ITU-T FG IPTV) is as follows:

“IPTV is defined as multimedia services such as television/video/audio/text/graphics/data delivered over IP based networks managed to provide the required level of quality of service and experience, security, interactivity and reliability.”

Another official and more detailed definition of IPTV is the one given by Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) IPTV Exploratory Group on 2005:

“IPTV is defined as the secure and reliable delivery to subscribers of entertainment video and related services. These services may include, for example, Live TV, Video On Demand (VOD) and Interactive TV (iTV). These services are delivered across an access agnostic, packet switched network that employs the IP protocol to transport the audio, video and control signals. In contrast to video over the public Internet, with IPTV deployments, network security and performance are tightly managed to ensure a superior entertainment experience, resulting in a compelling business environment for content providers, advertisers and customers alike.”

One definition for consumer IPTV is for single or multiple program transport streams (MPTS) which are sourced by the same network operator that owns or directly controls the “last mile” to the consumer’s premises. This control over delivery enables a guaranteed quality of service (QoS), and also allows the service provider to offer an enhanced user experience such as better program guide, interactive services etc. In commercial environments IPTV is widely deployed for distribution of live TV, video playout channels and Video on Demand (VOD) material across LAN or WAN IP network infrastructures, with a controlled QoS. In 1994, ABC’s World News Now was the first television show to be broadcast over the Internet, using the CU-SeeMe videoconferencing software. The number of global IPTV subscribers is expected to grow from 28 million in 2009 to 83 million in 2013. Europe and Asia are the leading territories in terms of the over-all number of subscriber. But in terms of service revenues, Europe and North America generate a larger share of global revenue, due to very low average revenue per user (ARPU) in China and India, the fastest growing (and ultimately, the biggest markets) in Asia. The global IPTV market revenues are forecasted to grow from US$12 billion in 2009 to US$38 billion in 2013
