PCCW Global, the Hong Kong-headquartered international operating division of HKT, and Huawei have launched their new Global High Definition Video Communications Centre in Hong Kong.

The facility, located at Telecom House in Wanchai, Hong Kong, showcases a full range of the latest innovative HD calling, conferencing, and collaboration solutions, available on multiple devices including telepresence rooms, conferencing terminals, tablets, and smartphones.

PCCW Global offers a point-to-point cross-private network video calling service that it says will make communicating in HD as familiar and easy to use as making a traditional voice call. An employee can dial the number of another video user either within or outside their own organization, locally or abroad, and connect in HD with no need for a pre-set time or conference bridge to be arranged.

The cloud-based High Definition Video Communications (HDVC) platform, jointly built by PCCW Global and Huawei, offers service providers and multinational enterprises cost-effective deployment of video collaboration services.

PCCW Global's fully managed network provides interoperable multipoint video conferencing and video calling between, and among, users spanning more than 130 countries.

Marc Halbfinger, Chief Executive Officer of PCCW Global, said: “Huawei has been an important technology and business partner for us. We are excited to explore new innovations in the video collaboration field together and to help our customers cost-effectively maximize the impact of HD video.”

Mao Yumin, Vice President for Huawei Core Network Product Line, said: “The opening of the Global High Definition Video Communications Center is a key milestone for all carriers and enterprises to leverage on the opportunities offered by HDVC with a global reach, whatever the device and whatever the access. Huawei is extremely honored to partner with PCCW Global on this project.”
