Currently, new services such as live streaming, short video, and XR applications pose higher requirements on fiber broadband. Fiber broadband has evolved from pure connections to scenario-based applications and to capabilities such as high rate, low latency, and differentiated network SLAs, driving operators to move from bandwidth monetization to experience monetization.
Regarding best practices in user experience monetization, China Unicom focuses on digital, network-based, and intelligent development, and carries out innovation and practices in the smart home field from five aspects: brand, products, network, terminals, and services.
In terms of brand, China Unicom builds the "China Unicom Smart Home" brand for home users.
