Telepresence spurs on APAC market growth

Business IT - Technology

Arole maintains interoperability is key for telepresence, and says Huawei has made the right choice to make sure that its solution is interoperable.

While Ovum observes the market changes taking place with local players entering the telepresence business, the firm says western operators are catching up in the APAC region by making their own moves in China.

Ovum points to the announcement in by AT&T that it would also extend its telepresence services into China during 2009 by working with local partners to provide the service, and the announcement just this month by Orange Business Services that it is upgrading its IP network in Asia-Pacific, citing video conferencing support as one of the reasons for the upgrade.

Arole says all this activity in the Chinese market shows that telcos are trying to maximise their efforts to make the most of the potential of these markets, and, she says that time will tell whether the economic downturn will restrict this growth or, “if the emergence of HD video conferencing will enable enterprises to make much-needed cost savings to help them through this difficult period.”
