Traditional Video Conferencing Is About To Disappear?

 Traditional video conferencing is about to disappear?

With the rapid development of technologies such as computers, communications, the Internet, and cloud computing and big data, video conferences that were once “out of reach” are being developed by high-end users in professional fields, large-scale enterprises, and small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as ordinary individual users. Convenience, speed, and ease of use have become the major trends in the development of video conferencing in the future. In the new wave of technology, traditional video conferences have been replaced by cloud video conferences. Towards diversified directions, more new technologies will be superimposed and video conferences will enter an era of accelerated innovation.

According to statistics, the proportion of video in the total Internet traffic has increased from 35% in 2008 to the current 75%. It is estimated that by 2020, Internet video traffic will increase by a factor of four. In many video industries, video conferencing has shown a high growth trend globally. Taking China as an example, 2008-2011 was the fastest growing period in China's videoconferencing market, with an average growth rate of more than 20%. Although the growth rate has slowed down after 2012, the market still has a lot of room for development. It is expected that China's videoconferencing industry will enter a new fast lane during the “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, and its scale will reach 22 billion yuan.

In addition to the continuous expansion of market size, with the development of cloud video technology, the proportion of cloud video applications in global video conferences has increased year by year. In 2016, 50% of global companies have the need to deploy cloud video, and more and more companies will cloud video. Incorporate strategic plans. Cloud video conference breaks the barriers of hardware (MCUs, hosts, cameras, omnidirectional wheat, remote controls, etc.) in traditional video conferencing through cloud computing technologies, and uses SAAS (software and services) as the main service content, data transmission, and processing. All storage is handled by the computer resources of the videoconferencing company. Users do not need to purchase expensive hardware and arrange special personnel to install and maintain the relevant equipment.

On the other hand, many manufacturers have adopted an open platform and can achieve plug-and-play on any platform such as windows, Android, and ios. This significantly reduces the use cost and effectively improves the communication efficiency. This also becomes cloud video. The meeting ushered in an important factor of vigorous development.

At the current stage, the main users of videoconferencing are in high-end enterprise users, grass-roots government agencies, and financial industries. Among the 70 million market players in China, less than 3% have videoconferencing rooms and low-cost, high-efficiency communications. The features of SMEs have increased the demand for cloud videoconferencing in SMEs, which has become a new hot spot for the growth of the videoconferencing market and the entire industry has entered the Blue Ocean.
