Huawei presents unique Digital Television Hybrid Solution in SA for first time

Huawei, a leading telecom solutions provider, today presented it unique Digital Television Hybrid Solution to an audience of representatives across Africa, including television and network service providers. Huawei's solution is a one-video solution that covers all markets and the entire spectrum of digital TV platforms.

Aside from HD or 3D picture, digital TV services can provide two-way interactivity, thus allowing for interactive services such as education, shopping, communications, VOD service, polling and connection to social network sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and personal content services, such as Picasa, Flickr and YouTube. This solution will bring a much better user experience to the end-user.

“Africa's current plan is to move from analogue to digital TV service (ie, DVB-T or DTT/DTH service). Huawei can deliver this solution to meet the broadcaster and market needs. In addition, Huawei's digital TV solution covers the entire spectrum of digital TV service delivery via terrestrial, satellite, mobile and fixed broadband network,” said Ted Hsiung, Chief Marketing Officer for Huawei Digital Home product line. “We have a strong R&D and remain fully committed to assist service providers to meet present and future market requirements of Digital TV,” he adds.

Service providers can benefit from increased efficiency in spectrum usage, ie, more channels in the same frequency. Other benefits service providers can offer are more channels, better user experience, electronic programme guide, close captioned and interactive services.

Huawei has more than 10 years' experience in digital TV product service development and has deployed similar solutions in a number of countries, including India. With this solution, Huawei can help service providers future-proof their investment in digital TV service, in infrastructure, solution and consumer connected devices.
