Real-time Internet, the large-scale application of real-time communication technology in the Internet industry, which will be a hundred billion scale of the market.

Data shows that the real-time communication market itself has grown at a large scale. According to the latest “China Mobile OTT real-time communication Market Quarterly Monitoring Report 2016 q2” data released by Analysys industry database, China Mobile OTT real-time communication market quarterly active user scale of about 118595 million people in the second quarter of 2016.

Globally, the figure is at least tens of times higher. For ordinary users, making voice and video calls via wechat, QQ, Momo, Skype, Facebook Messenger and Hike Messenger has become a daily habit.

With the worldwide popularity of smart phones, especially in developing countries such as China and India, and the in-depth popularity of 4G mobile networks and Wi-Fi hotspots, the rapid development of the global MOBILE OTT communication market has been promoted. Internet-based audio and video calls are cheap and easy to use, with rich functions. Real-time audio and video calls, the most basic requirement of mobile phone users, are another new channel that Internet companies can seize to attract a large number of users.

Of course, OTT real-time communication is only a part of real-time Internet, communication technology is revolutionizing and subvert medical care, education, live broadcasting, games, social networking, tourism, customer service, enterprise collaboration, e-commerce, online tourism, as well as cutting-edge technology in the FIELD of AR, VR and IoT, and more than a dozen industries and fields.

The ipo of Twilio, an American cloud communications company, earlier this year demonstrated not only the potential for API economics, but also the value that even traditional phone and text messaging capabilities can create when embedded with third-party applications.

There is reason to believe that real-time communication and the intersection of the Internet, will be China’s next 100 billion market.

Real-time communication application in medical industry to optimize medical resource allocation

Looking around the world, real-time communication is widely used in the medical industry. The United States is a very mature market for online medical development. In the United States, for example, ATA’s Annual meeting of the American Telemedicine Association concluded in May this year and announced that the number of direct-to-user telemedicine services in the United States reached 1.25 million in 2015. Grand View Research forecasts that the DIRECT-to-user telemedicine market in the U.S. will reach $16.4 billion by 2025.

Domestic online medical treatment is also in great demand and the industry is developing rapidly. Statistics from IResearch show that in 2015, the market size of China’s online medical industry exceeded 17 billion yuan, with exponential growth and rapid market development.

The core technical problem of telemedicine is to use real-time communication technology to connect doctors, pharmacies, patients and other related links, especially to solve the balance allocation of high-quality medical resources in backward and remote areas. For example, in China, real-time communication technology mainly helps to solve two problems: one is to change the flow of resources, which can bring high-quality medical resources to the vast rural and backward areas; the other is transnational telemedicine consultation. In the first scenario, the Internet infrastructure in rural areas is not good enough, especially in the case of insufficient bandwidth and poor signal, real-time communication service providers are required to help solve the problem of safe, stable and high-quality transmission of audio and video. For example, agora. IO, a global real-time cloud service provider, has helped Ali Health to deliver high-quality medical resources from first-tier and second-tier cities in China to remote and backward rural areas, especially in the application of remote consultation and remote drug delivery.

TalkSpace, the largest psychological counseling platform in the United States, chose the audio and video transmission technology of Agora. IO, a sound network with stability, high quality and high availability

Transnational telemedicine consultation market is huge. In terms of technology and innovative application, transnational telemedicine consultation urgently needs to solve the problems of transmission instability, packet loss, jitter and lag caused by long distance and time difference in transnational transmission. Agora. IO provides high-quality real-time video communication technology, through its udP-based Software Defined Realtime Network SD-RTN (Software Defined Realtime Network) built in nearly 100 data centers around the world, to achieve low latency, high connection rate and high definition transmission. Patients can consult professional doctors quickly and reliably and get diagnosis and treatment advice, realizing the sharing of high-quality medical resources. Chunyu International, the largest transnational medical platform in China, and TalkSpace, the largest psychological consultation platform in the United States, both chose agora. IO audio and video transmission technology with stability, high quality and high availability after more than ten rounds of strict selection, comparison and testing, which perfectly solved the technical obstacles of transnational remote transmission.

Real-time communication drives interactive modes in education, live streaming, gaming, social networking, VR and other industries

With the vigorous development of the Internet, the massive investment of the state in the education industry, and the involvement of Tencent, Baidu, netease and other Internet giants in the capital market, the Internet education capital market is developing rapidly. The online education market in China exceeded 170 billion yuan in 2015, and is expected to reach 226 billion yuan in 2016 and 351 billion yuan in 2018, according to iMedia Research.

Online education industry has been favored by capital in the past two years, with a large number of innovative models emerging. Education companies are going back to their business roots. In this process, the “curriculum” as the core is the most critical, how to use the power of science and technology to break through the geographical time limit, improve the learning efficiency, maximize the learning effect, strengthen the mobile social learning atmosphere, whether there is enough interaction to improve the effect, is the problem that technology needs to solve.

At present, Agora.io has been helping large online education platforms such as Hujiang and Good Future to realize ultra-low delay interactive learning mode by using Software Defined Realtime Network (SD-RTN) deployed globally. Greatly enhance the sense of participation and real-time interaction of traditional classroom teaching. Through real-time voice and video calls, whiteboard teaching and screen sharing, teachers and students can conduct one-to-one live interactive teaching or one-to-many or many-to-many virtual teacher teaching, which not only improves teaching effect and efficiency, but also reduces costs. Many education services are fee-based, and the quality and stability of real-time audio and video communication are highly required. If students cannot hear clearly or see the teacher’s teaching, or cannot effectively interact with the teacher, the impact on the education effect is fatal. So the online education industry is very careful when choosing service providers in this area. If the selection of technical services in the course of the problem, the impact on the business can be imagined.

Audio network agora. IO launched real-time full interactive live support for 10,000 people with voice and 7 people with video

Livestreaming is a mode of communication as well as content production. The live broadcast platform Red Sea Battle is mainly a show and entertainment live broadcast platform with Internet celebrities as the core, accounting for more than 90% of the whole live broadcast market. With the cost of live streaming caused by competition and the sharp rise of IP resources of Internet celebrities, as well as the “cooling” attitude of investors, live streaming platforms will face a stage of great waves and sand. However, as more and more users get used to live broadcasting, more vertical industries and platforms have started to introduce live broadcasting, such as entertainment, education, games, design, etc., and the introduction of these diversified scenarios makes live broadcasting more real-time and super interactive. And a growing number of industry players are discovering that the interactivity of such live-streaming has the magic power to increase engagement and willingness to pay. Many businesses even rely on interactive live streaming to achieve revenue breakthroughs.

Sound network Agora. IO launch real-time interactive live, all is the world’s first based on UDP broadcast services and SDK, different from traditional CDN live on market, can not only realize the host and audience random even the interaction between wheat and millisecond delay, can also support the host and the audience not only through words, also through many voice and video even wheat and so on a variety of ways, To “recreate the scene,” to make the interaction more thorough. Compared with the normal live broadcast delay of 5-15 seconds, the live broadcast SDK of Agora.io can achieve an average global end-to-end delay of 76ms, which is also based on the world’s original Software Defined Realtime Network (SD-RTN). With strong anti-packet loss last Mile algorithm to ensure smooth and stable real-time services. At the same time, the LIVE STREAMING SDK has more space for interaction and scene creativity, supporting 10,000 people with voice and 7 people with video. At present, many companies, such as many education companies, e-commerce companies, game e-sports companies and social networks, are using this highly imaginative live broadcasting technology to create more interesting and interactive live scenes.

Agora. IO already offers real-time voice services for a number of mobile games

Voice in games has been used in console and page games for a long time, and the heavy use of mobile games and the booming development of esports live streaming have brought real-time communication and the game industry closer together.

After extensive testing and selection, LeEco VR chose the high-quality video call service of Sonnet Agora. IO

The application of real-time communication in cutting-edge technologies such as VR, AR and IoT is worth expecting. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg’s VR Demo at the Oculus conference recently showed many people the shift from asynchronous online interaction to real-time synchronous online and offline interaction. Compared with the traditional live broadcasting industry, VR live broadcasting faces competition from IP and Internet celebrities, but there are still many obstacles in technical implementation. The biggest bottleneck is delay. There was once a VR enthusiast in Germany who tried to control tanks through VR equipment, but the experiment failed because of too much delay. If VR live broadcast, especially interactive live broadcast, is delayed too much, it will not only destroy the sense of reality immediately, but even bring serious discomfort such as motion sickness. The experience cannot meet the needs of users at all. The breakthrough of this technical barrier depends on the innovation and creative application of real-time communication technology. The real-time communication cloud service of Agora. IO aims to solve this problem.
