Here's Why India Has Poor Video Streaming Experience Despite 4G
If you are blaming inadequate 4G availability for poor video streaming experience on your smartphone, you are nearly certainly barking upward the incorrect tree, suggests a new report of all of Bharat'due south 22 telecom circles on Thursday.
India's mobile operators have been successful in making 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) widely bachelor beyond the country, just, unfortunately, a cracking mobile video feel does not correlate with the loftier 4G availability, said the study by London-based wireless coverage mapping company OpenSignal.
The linear correlation between 4G availability and video experience is but 0.11 on a scale where a score about 1, or -ane, would indicate a strong positive or negative correlation between the ii measures.
This is because mobile video experience depends on many other factors, across just the radio access network, which is what 4G availability measures.
To deliver a bang-up mobile video experience requires a fantastic finish-to-end try which includes the cell towers' mobile radio, the backhaul links from the towers which transport the video traffic, each operator's core network and the peering to the content delivery network (CDN) or streaming server where the original video is hosted, OpenSignal said.
"If operators in Bharat really want to provide a proficient network feel, they should look across supply metrics like speed and examine the video experience of end users," OpenSignal CEO Brendan Gill told IANS in a telephonic interaction.
"Network speed matters simply to a limited extent in determining great video experience. What is even more than important is low latency as good video experience is about video loading apace," he added.
To score highly on mobile video experience, operators must exist able to support a consequent terminate-to-end performance across their infrastructure.
For instance, if the network suffers interruptions, or congestions, then the video stream volition stall and damage the mobile video experience for consumers, OpenSignal said.
The company measured video experience in India on a scale from 0 to 100 — the higher the score, the better the video feel.
The study revealed that smartphone users relish the all-time mobile video experience in Bombay, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Kolkata and Jammu and Kashmir, with scores of over 41 on OpenSignal'due south new mobile video experience measure.
4G availability experienced by smartphone users ranges from 82.vi per cent in the Kerala region to an impressive 90.nine per cent in Kolkata, demonstrating that nearly of the time smartphone users are connected to 4G networks.
Both Kerala and Jammu and Kashmir rate much more highly for mobile video experience than they do compared with other regions for 4G availability, demonstrating that good 4G availability is not a guide to a reliable mobile video feel, the enquiry showed.
There is little difference in the mobile video experience of Bombay, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad's smartphone users, the study said.
"Open up Signal is focused on measuring the real-globe network feel. Everything that nosotros look at is derived from existent-earth users on real-world devices from real-world situations, which is very different from traditional way of understanding network feel," Gill said.
