Huawei Seamlessly Integrates WebRTC and M2M


Huawei may have made headlines this week for its Ascend Mate 2 4G phablet at CES, but it’s also making waves in an emerging technology trend not commonly found in consumer electronics: WebRTC.

WebRTC is a technology that provides peer-to-peer connections, enabling real-time communications over the Internet. It brings the demand for instant, real-time and simple communications to the Web, eliminating barriers like downloading plugins and installing software.

The company recently demonstrated its telemedicine-focused WebRTC technology, which is able to seamlessly integrate with M2M-enabled medical sensors to improve user experiences and the efficiency of telehealth. The goal is to make telehealth concepts, like chronic disease monitoring and familiarity nursing a reality. These medical sensors can include pulse oximetry, sphygmomanometer and a weighing scale to integrate with IP networks and collaboration and communication technologies, like instant messaging, HD video, file transfers and location sharing.

Huawei offers a WebRTC gateway based on session border controllers (SBC), which enables network reliability and supports network access modes, including 2G, 3G and 4G.

The company also demonstrated its technology in August last year in a car insurance scenario to show how WebRTC technology can integrate with rich communication services (RCS) and add value to and extend mobile operators’ RCS services. The company showcased using capabilities such as instant messaging, video sharing, file sharing and location sharing in a B2B environment.

Huawei first introduced its WebRTC gateway and technology in April 2013, emphasizing how it can bridge the gap between the Web and telecom. As part of the company's communication as a service (CaaS) lineup, its WebRTC gateway relies on the same three success factors as other products in the product group: Richness, offering greater service exposure than voice and video; compatibility, with full ICT interoperability support; and simplicity, made possible with its JavaScript-based interface.
