Computing Network Convergence Enables the Construction of High Quality Remote Video Education System in Underdeveloped Areas


Description

Based on China Mobile 's powerful network resources and abundant computing resources, the project supported the construction of remote video education system. The project provides an integrated solution of private line + edge computing + remote video application. Based on IPv6 scale deployment, the project adopted optical transmission protection mechanism, SRv6 flexible scheduling, CDN sinking and intelligent precise scheduling to provide high-quality(packet loss rate<0.01%) remote education services for underdeveloped areas, effectively solve the problem of uneven education.
This project is oriented to remote education services and provides an integrated solution of computing network convergence(CNC). It belongs to the application of information and communication technology and conforms to the WSIS action policy mentioned in the Geneva Action Plan.
This service has served 73000 students in 13 provinces, 367 schools, greatly improved the education level in underdeveloped areas, promoted the gradual maturity of the education industry chain and radiation industry block in remote areas, and created an application demonstration of CNC in less-developed regions.
CNC is a new generation of information technology,Operators should make full use of the new generation of information technology on the basis of the basic network to achieve sustainable development in underdeveloped areas.
This project creates an integrated solution for remote education through converged networks and computing. The CNC has no barriers to other technical fields and applications as a underlying technical foundation , and can be used as a basic capability to empower more fields, such as media, healthcare, industry, etc.

Replicability

In the world, the problem of educational imbalance has always been a difficult problem. It is proved to be a feasible solution to solve the problem of education imbalance through IT technology and network technology. With the economic downturn and the long-term continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the digital gap between underdeveloped areas and developed areas in some developing countries is widening, leading to the growing imbalance of educational resources. This project makes full use of the network technology advantages of telecom operators to improve the network stability through high-quality CDN distribution, promotion of IPv6 deployment, and high reliable dedicated line quality assurance. At the same time, it innovates and develops a real-time education classroom synchronous interactive video communication system according to the characteristics of unbalanced education to provide an integrated, digital and standardized solution for the education industry. China Mobile is also deeply communicating and cooperating with telecom operators in other international regions to explore the promotion of the project in other underdeveloped regions, so as to provide support for the development of local education. China Mobile has made full use of its advanced network technology advantages and better IT development capabilities to effectively integrate internal resources and form a benchmark solution. The project is highly standardized and highly reproducible, and is also being promoted in smart medicine, media video and other fields.


Sustainability

The construction of the education system in underdeveloped areas is a long-term and continuous process, which has become an important carrier of social care and livelihood security. Based on the implementation of this project, end-to-end high-quality distance education services have been provided for underdeveloped areas, and the live teaching and educational interaction between high-quality schools and schools in remote areas have been realized, effectively alleviating the imbalance in education, In the future, the achievements of the project will continue to enable the education services in underdeveloped areas, and can be extended to countries and even more regions around the world.
Along with the development of media technology, new media technologies such as holography, VR, AR can provide an immersive teaching experience for the classroom, and more abundant teaching models can further improve the education level in underdeveloped areas. As a hot topic in the ICT field, computing network integration is an inevitable trend of industry development. It can provide the above business scenarios with low latency, large bandwidth, and highly reliable underlying resource base, and effectively ensure the effective development and large-scale implementation of more new forms of distance education scenarios.


WSIS values promotion

It is one of the goals of the United Nations for sustainable development to provide inclusive and equitable quality education and enable all people to enjoy lifelong learning opportunities. Education is the driving force of social development, but limited by geography and other constraints, the educational resources in underdeveloped areas are backward. In this project, China Mobile adopts an integrated information communication solution integrating computing and networking to overcome the problems of low real-time and poor interactivity of distance education caused by long communication lines, easy interruption, small bandwidth, and unstable signals, and break the barrier of unbalanced education resources, so that underdeveloped regions can also enjoy high-quality school education resources and improve the local education level, In line with the WSIS action policy mentioned in the Geneva Action Plan. The project has broad application prospects. Driven by this project, China Mobile is communicating on how to carry out e-health, industry and agriculture, so as to enable underdeveloped regions to obtain information and use information and communication technology, and thereby improve the local medical, industry and agriculture level, which is also in line with the programmatic goal of C7 in WSIS action plan, that is, the application of information and communication technology will benefit all aspects of life. In addition, China Mobile is also conducting in-depth exchanges and cooperation with international peers to provide strong support for the sustainable development of education, medical care, production and other industries in underdeveloped regions through exploratory promotion of the project.
