Huawei, a leading global ICT solutions provider, has launched live eClassroom and Executive Desktop Presence solutions debuting at this year’s Gitex Technology Week, a major IT show which ended recently in Dubai, UAE.
“We endeavour to bring the latest products and solutions to market by offering the public the chance to experience for themselves cutting-edge ICT innovations,” said Edwin Diender, chief technology officer of UC & C product line.
“In fields such as education, new technologies are changing the way that classes are being taught, where they are being hosted, and the desire of both students and faculty for more flexible and creative learning environments. These same principles are also being prioritized in the workplace as businesses desire immediate communication with regional and global teams—extending the meeting experience from the conference room to your office desktop.”
The new eClassroom solution offers more opportunities for students to receive a better quality of education. The solution combines Huawei’s latest HD video conferencing and smart directing systems, giving access to digital education resources remotely through real-time interaction, live streaming and video-on-demand (VoD). Such capabilities help in promoting efficient use of educational resources between classrooms, school networks and remote learning sites.
The Huawei live eClassroom provides educators and students with 1080p HD dual stream visuals and CD-quality audio, creating a real-life and immersive environment where teachers and students can collaborate “face to face”. In addition, Huawei’s voice recognition technology enables the system to automatically and easily track the speaker and capture their image so that the communication between teachers and students doesn’t require extra microphones.
The eClassroom also employs dual-channel directing to switch and sends content concurrently to remote classrooms. The solution employs the latest H.264 High Profile (HP) technology, Huawei patented Video Motion Enhancement (VME), and Huawei’s Super Error Concealment (SEC) 3.0 technologies to enhance compression rates and enable 1080p images to be delivered at the bandwidth of 512 Kbit/s.
Executive Desktop Presence DP300
The device adopts an all-in-one design, integrating codec, camera, microphone, speaker and touch screen. The DP300 provides end-to-end 1080p and 60 dual HD streams, bringing customers more vivid meeting experiences. The 27-inch display operates by tapping and sliding the screen. Its unique voice dialling functionality allows people to voice dial to connect and participate.
The DP300 can also be used as a room presence system and transformed into a computer monitor with the touch of a button. In addition, it enables users to take calls, hang up, cancel and reject calls easily via the touch screen or via the Bluetooth headset or earpiece.
