24 May 2017, Shenzhen, China – ZTE Corporation (0763.HK / 000063.SZ), a major international provider of telecommunications, enterprise and consumer technology solutions for the Mobile Internet, and KPN, the number one internet protocol television (IPTV) operator in the Netherlands, have jointly won the 2017 Global Telecoms Business (GTB) ‘Consumer Service Innovation Award’ for their efforts in the ultra-high definition (UHD) pay TV project.
As a global leader in big video end-to-end solutions, ZTE has been committed to developing and innovating high-quality set top box (STB) devices and providing UHD TV services. Since 2015, ZTE has cooperated with KPN to provide UHD STB – ZXV8001 and related services.
With the help of ZTE, KPN officially launched 4K live and video on demand (VOD) services during the UEFA Euro quarterfinals in 2016. The project also made KPN the first operator to launch UHD pay TV services in the Netherlands. KPN’s customers were able to experience the UEFA European Championship and 2016 Summer Olympics in 4K UHD image quality and high dynamic range (HDR). Likewise, consumers were able to experience 4K streaming of media content from Netflix and YouTube through the new UHD STB- ZXV8001.
The ZXV8001 supports high-efficiency video coding (HEVC), which improves data compression ratio and saves up to 50 percent of bandwidth compared to the last generation (H.264) and efficiently reduces operation expenditure of the operator.
ZTE has been leading the market in offering its innovative technologies for home users. By providing next-generation immersive viewing experiences to meet customer requirements for fidelity, quality, and range of experience, ZTE has enabled a significant leap in the viewing experience.
