innovative international services from HGC that
help OTT service providers expand business
Hong Kong, 30 May 2016 - Hutchison Global Communications Limited (HGC), the fixed-line division of Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited (HTHKH; stock code: 215), has won two coveted titles in the 3rd Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards scheme for excellence in innovative services that meet international market needs.
The scheme recognises innovative products and services from enterprises throughout Asia Pacific. HGC's International Business unit scooped a gold award in the "Innovation in the Technology Management, Planning & Implementation" category by virtue of its Over-the-Top (OTT) Network Extension service, plus a bronze award in the "Innovation in Business to Business Products" category for its Big Data Exchange (BDX) service.
Andrew Kwok, President of International and Carrier Business at Hutchison Telecommunications (Hong Kong) Limited, said: "The growing trend of big data and OTT services prompted HGC to integrate the strengths of fixed-line and mobile networks, and develop diverse one-stop solutions to help OTT service providers expand into more geographies. Winning two accolades at the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards demonstrates our understanding of the international market and affirms the value the market places on HGC's innovative solutions."
Comprehensive telecoms solution meets the needs of OTT players
Supported by a team of international telecoms experts, HGC's OTT Network Extension service provides one-stop project management to meet the needs of OTT service providers. They benefit from network design, equipment procurement, local sourcing of vendors and administration of regulatory issues. OTT players are therefore able to respond swiftly to ever-changing market needs, while expanding their online business to reach more customers. HGC also provides on-demand bandwidth expansion so customers can allocate resources flexibly.
Innovative service well suited to the big data era
BDX service from HGC amounts to a content-exchange platform designed for OTT players such as content providers, game developers and application providers, and extends beyond traditional hosting and colocation by providing 24/7 one-stop technical support. BDX covers areas seldom addressed by telecoms operators, such as soft/hardware configuration and OS tweaking. Customers can opt for services based on need, so they can turn capex into more affordable opex.
Meanwhile, HGC - in conjunction with a partner organisation - has won the Business Service Innovation category of the 2016 GTB Innovation Awards in recognition of BDX service.
