In terms of user experience, ZTE has developed an innovative video quality evaluation system (V-QoE) to build an E2E intelligent maintenance system which is capable of monitoring a user's entire video experience, accurately and in real-time. This enables rapid identification [of any malfunction and assures of high-quality video services on demand. Also of value to big video is the boutique video network. ZTE provides a boutique network featuring ultra-wideband, low delay and high quality of service (QoS) to help operators deal with the challenge of huge levels of traffic. The value of big video is further extended through the video ecosystem. With its depth of experience and leading reputation in the industry, ZTE, in cooperation with partners, can provide operators with one-stop video solutions and services, for a win-win video ecology. By focusing on the four areas above, operators can develop an improved video business and open up a brighter future.
