Summary: Rise in LTE adoption reflects need for regional telcos to work toward Wi-Fi offloading, shift to volumetric pricing as well as work with OTT players.SINGAPORE--With more new LTE devices and OTT (over-the-top) promotions coming into the industry over the next season, overall information intake will not only bomb but also will progressively drive on 4G systems.
Traffic development over LTE systems, at least in Hong Kong, is predicted to "be very fast", according to Religious Daignault, CTO of Hong Kong cellular owner CSL, who was discussing at a board conversation organised here Wednesday at the LTE Japan 2012 meeting.
"From now on, all handphones will be launched with 4G [and] it will take just one season for 4G to exceed 3G [in Hong Kong]," Daignault said, observing that there were already five LTE companies in Hong Kong.
This increasing need will likely further stress telecommunications companies which will need to figure out methods of dealing with the information meltdown, such as Wi-Fi offloading, he included.
For example, the CTO outlined that his optimum time utilization was usually at nighttime, which was when family members maintained to use their gadgets together simultaneously. "The [data] congested zones are where individuals are at house [where] there could be two or three sightseeing TV on their pills," he said.
This was one example of "wasteful" intake and CSL is designed to incentivize such customers to change to Wi-Fi, he included.
Importance of volumetric plans :
Daignault said aspect of this shift will need telcos to shift toward volumetric costs "to decrease waste" and cure the system information like energy or water programs. CSL still provided a cost strategy which was "unlimited", but services in common have decided such promotions will need to be removed, he included.
Agreeing, another presenter on the board, Choi Jin-sung, go of technological innovation technique at SK Telecom, said his organization has been going toward this design and providing no cost assistance together with these programs, such as e-books and films, to create them more eye-catching.
As aspect of such initiatives, Daignault said it would also be essential for telcos to have a way to deal with OTT solutions, which have been gradually consuming away at their earnings and becoming progressively major, through promotions such as no cost speech phone calls and messenging.
Telcos could also offer a different assistance excellent from OTT gamers, mentioned the CSL professional. This would be progressively essential as some solutions need a assured stage of performance and when more programs get into the industry and add further stress on the system, he described.
According to Model Pak Lum, CTO of Singapore owner StarHub, telcos can also consider dealing with OTT gamers by utilizing their present connection with clients.
"What we have is statistics. We know where our clients are, who they are contacting, where they are viewing," said Model, observing services had the energy to my own and offer this information to OTT gamers as a value-added benefits.
Sadayuki Abeta, house of stations accessibility system development at NTT Docomo, said telcos could also offer languages in real-time. He said the Japoneses telco is currently performing tests of this assistance.
Looking at VoLTE :
With the restricted variety, Daignault said telcos also will begin going toward speech over LTE (VoLTE) where speech visitors is taken over LTE systems instead of mature systems such as 2G and 3G, which can then be refarmed.
However, he outlined that it would likely take several decades for the technological innovation to arrive at maturation.
Peter Zhou, v. p. of LTE wifi system at Huawei, informed ZDNet on the side lines of the occasion that VoLTE adopting currently is organised returning by the option suitable gadgets, even though the system facilities is already prepared and available in locations such as Singapore.
According to SK Telecom's Choi, VoLTe is already over the counter available in Southern South korea. Besides system accessibility, he mentioned that achievements aspects for adopting of this assistance are better excellent difference and eye-catching costs programs.
