Summary of the White Paper on the Commercial Application Scenarios of Gigabit Broadband Networks

Core Content

This white paper explores the transformative role of gigabit broadband networks in driving commercial applications across various industries. It outlines the technological and policy-driven advancements that have made gigabit broadband a critical infrastructure for digital transformation. The paper emphasizes the importance of gigabit networks in enabling high-bandwidth, low-latency services and identifies ten key commercial application scenarios that will benefit from such capabilities.

Main Points

Gigabit Broadband Era: The global economy is transitioning to a digital era, with broadband becoming a strategic infrastructure for economic and social development. China has made significant progress in broadband network construction, with FTTH coverage and high access rates.
Government Policy: Governments, including China, are actively promoting gigabit broadband deployment. The 2019 Chinese government report emphasized expanding 1000M broadband access and enhancing network capabilities for education and telemedicine.
Mature High-Broadband Services: The growth of 4K/8K video, AR/VR, and cloud services has created a demand for high bandwidth and low latency, pushing gigabit broadband into commercial use.
Technological Readiness: The 10G PON technology is mature and supports symmetric upstream and downstream rates up to 10 Gbps with low latency (as low as 100 us), enabling the connection of all devices in homes and industries.

Key Commercial Application Scenarios

The following ten commercial application scenarios are highlighted as key beneficiaries of gigabit broadband:

Cloud VR
Smart Home
Gaming
Social Networking
Cloud Desktop
Safe City
Enterprise Cloudification
Online Education
Telemedicine
Smart Manufacturing

2.1 Overview

These scenarios are expected to converge and drive economic and social development. The paper states that as industry ecosystems and commercial applications mature, gigabit broadband will become the backbone of future services, enabling more immersive and efficient experiences.

2.2 Cloud VR

Market Space: By 2025, global VR users are expected to reach 440 million, with an output value of USD 292 billion. VR headset output volume is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 66.7%.
Business Model and Practice: Cloud VR development is divided into three phases: short-term, medium-term, and long-term. Operators can offer cloud VR services through dedicated packages and revenue sharing models.
Network Requirement: Bandwidth and latency are critical. Comfortable VR requires 130 Mbps and 20 ms latency, while advanced and perfect VR require higher bandwidth and lower latency (up to 1.5 Gbps and 8 ms).

2.3 Smart Home

Market Space: By 2025, each individual is expected to own 5 smart devices, with 20% owning over 10. The smart home market is projected to grow by 129% over five years, reaching USD 154 billion in 2023.
Business Model and Practice: Telecom operators can offer E2E smart home services through broadband packages, integrating devices, platforms, and applications. They can also explore cost-effective and innovative models.
Network Requirement: A minimum of 370 Mbps downstream and 167 Mbps upstream bandwidth is required, with latency within 20-40 ms for optimal performance.

2.4 Gaming

Market Space: The global game market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2017 to 2021, with 2.2 billion players worldwide. High-definition and immersive gaming experiences are becoming mainstream.
Business Model and Practice: Operators can monetize through game-specific broadband packages or revenue sharing with game content providers.
Network Requirement: Latency must be less than 50 ms for MOBA and FPS games, while cloud gaming requires 200-300 Mbps bandwidth and 50–100 ms latency.

2.5 Social Networking

Market Space: Social network users are growing rapidly, with 2.8 billion users in 2018 and an expected increase to 3.75 billion by 2022. The market scale is also projected to grow significantly.
Business Model and Practice: Social networks monetize through advertising and value-added services. Operators can offer gigabit broadband to support live video and VR-based social interactions.
Network Requirement: HD live broadcast requires 50 Mbps, while immersive VR live broadcast needs 200 Mbps bandwidth and less than 20 ms latency.

2.6 Cloud Desktop

Market Space: Cloud desktop is becoming essential for remote work and enterprise mobility.
Business Model and Practice: Operators can provide cloud desktop services through dedicated broadband access and cloud platforms.
Network Requirement: High bandwidth and low latency are required to ensure smooth and secure remote operations.

Conclusion and Outlook

Economic and Social Impact: Gigabit broadband will significantly promote digital transformation and economic growth.
Deployment Timeline: By 2019, over 90% of FTTH access ports were expected to be achieved in China, with Gigabit access in over 300 cities.
Business Model: Telecom operators can leverage their network infrastructure to offer value-added services, drive innovation, and improve user experience.
Future Prospects: Gigabit broadband is expected to support more advanced applications, including AI, IoT, and smart cities, and will be a key enabler for the next generation of digital services.
