Nokia launches predictive optimization service and accelerates migration to IP video
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Press Release
* Industry-first predictive optimization service simulates network conditions
under heavy traffic from video or mobile gaming, allowing mobile operators
to identify potential hotspots and counteract impact on subscriber quality
* Unique Nokia IP Video packages to enable IPTV and cable operators to
smoothly enhance and migrate to next generation platforms
* Company uses OZO Virtual Reality camera with Mobile Edge Computing to
demonstrate delivery of immersive 3D video for future sports and music
events
8 September, 2016
IBC 2016, Amsterdam - Nokia is helping operators enhance the delivery of video-
based services with the launch of new technologies and services at IBC 2016. A
predictive optimization service will allow operators to see the impact of
changing network conditions on mobile video and gaming applications, a suite of
IP video capabilities will enable fixed, mobile, cable and TV operators to
bridge to next-generation technology and a demonstration of Virtual Reality will
show the future possibilities of video delivery.
Video and audio streaming will, according to Bell Labs Consulting, account for
79 percent of increased data traffic by 2020*, and as mobile devices evolve, so
will the consumer appetite for higher definition video. Operators today are
challenged with ensuring they deliver the highest quality video experience, even
at events or on occasions when data traffic is greatest.
Nokia is adopting a holistic approach to this challenge by allowing operators to
plan for and manage network traffic growth while offering in-demand video
services today and into the future.
The new Nokia predictive optimization service for video and high-bandwidth
applications like mobile gaming simulates the impact of changing network
conditions on video delivery and the mobile viewing experience. This helps
mobile operators prioritize investments to address expected network bottlenecks
and demand in high-traffic hotspots such as large congregations of users at
events, where Mobile Edge Computing can be used to enhance the subscriber
experience.
Visitors to IBC 2016 will be able to see demonstrations of Nokia IP video
solutions. A new suite of innovative IP video packages will allow fixed, mobile,
cable and converged TV operators to rapidly and smoothly bridge to new
generation platforms that allow them to deliver video services such as time-
shift TV, live-pause, restart TV and more over any connected devices. These
packages will also support a faster experience for subscribers accessing
electronic program guides, video on demand catalogs and other video application
menus as well as the video itself.
At IBC 2016, Nokia will demonstrate the future possibilities enabled by virtual
reality video. Using the Nokia Ozo Virtual Reality camera and Mobile Edge
Computing, Nokia will work with pan European operator, Tele2, to broadcast
multiple live 360°, 3D video streams from the event to users with virtual
reality headsets. This will enable the delivery of a differentiated experience
to subscribers at stadiums and allow hotspots of people away from the event to
become immersed in the action.
Visit Nokia at IBC 2016 in meeting room suite 25, Hall 15 and booth C25, Hall 8
at the RAI, Amsterdam from 8-13 September.
Paul Larbey, head of the IP Video business at Nokia, said: "Nokia can provide
operators with the most complete approach to simplifying their complex video
delivery needs and enhancing the subscriber viewing experience. We are the first
to apply predictive analytics to network planning and optimization for high
bandwidth applications, allowing operators to uncover real insight into their
network and benefit from cost and operational efficiencies now and in the
future. Our IP Video solutions have already been proved in customer deployments
across the globe, while the virtual reality demonstration will show how we are
innovating to deliver the future human possibilities of the connected world."
Virtual Reality demonstration
* Uses Nokia OZO Virtual Reality camera over an MEC-enabled LTE network acting
as an evolved multimedia broadcast multicast service (eMBMS) hotspot.
* eMBMS technology allows simultaneous streaming of video to multiple users'
devices, efficiently using capacity and reducing latency to hundreds of
milliseconds.
* Shows how venue owners, operators and sponsors can overcome network capacity
limits at mass events to deliver an immersive video experience.
Predictive Optimization Service for Video
* Powered by the Nokia AVA platform, which combines patented algorithms with
big data analytics to show the impact of network coverage, cell interference
and traffic congestion on video quality.
* Allows mobile operators to adjust network conditions to see how video
quality is affected before real changes are implemented.
* The service could reduce buffering times for video services such as YouTube
by up to 40 percent.
* Current Analysis recently ranked Nokia as the leader for Network Planning
and Optimization, recognizing the Nokia AVA platform which offers fast,
efficient delivery of NPO services, reducing total cost of ownership for
operators**.
Nokia IP Video packages
* A suite of systems integration services that leverage Nokia and third party
products to enhance legacy TV platforms
* Allows delivery of restart and catch-up TV and recording services and
extended Video on Demand libraries
* Enhances the consumer experience with faster loading of on-demand video and
rendering of imagery in the GUI.
* Compatible with any vendor's platforms to protect operators' existing
investments.
* Nokia has deep-rooted expertise in deploying tried and tested IPTV solutions
that minimize the risks for hundreds of customer across the world as they
evolve their offer, including Telefonica, Telus, Century Link, Oi, PT, du
and Singtel.
