FIDE Online Arena has the same look and feel as a professional chess tournament: the same chess pieces, boards, colors, and even typefaces. Sounds of moves and pieces capture replicates those from the final games of the 2018 World Chess Championship Match.

Online gaming adheres to the over-the-board FIDE rules, including Swiss tournament structure, time controls and other requirements. Players from around the world are able to play official online rated games (€25 per year) and qualify for the official online titles, effectively becoming professional chess players by playing on computers or mobile devices.

Thus, even if there is an attack, all users will retain constant access to the platform.

"We believe that the next World Chess Champion will be someone who learned to play chess on a computer," says Ilya Merenzon, World Chess CEO, "And we are looking forward to an opportunity to give people around the world an opportunity to play chess for a professional online rating and get a thrill of a professional competition and eventually take on Magnus Carlsen and become the next world champion," adds Merenzon.

Daily Unique Visitors of Yiwugo.com has reached 800,000

Leave a comment

YIWU, China, June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, which is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world. According to the recent back-office statistics of Yiwugo, the number of unique visitors (UV) has reached 800,000 per day and peaked at 950,000; the pageview (PV) volume peaked at 15 million. On average, every visitor has clicked the commodity pages for 7-8 times.

According to analysis, the reasons behind the traffic increase on Yiwugo are as follows:

1. The constantly improving functionality of the platform is the solid foundation for its traffic increase

Since the launch of Yiwugo over 8 years ago, the platform products and services have been constantly improved, and its functions have been further adapted to cater for small-commodity wholesalers and buyers. By moving all commodities of the physical market to the Internet, Yiwugo is committed to making it easier for buyers to search commodities. Through 360-degree panoramic display and live streaming, the platform ensures online and offline consistency and traceable transactions. Besides, positioned as a “generalized” wholesale platform, Yiwugo is characterized by diverse commodities, large number of transactions, and small orders. As such, it has gained popularity among micro, small, and medium start-ups by creating a convenient and reliable channel for physical store owners and online store owners.

2. Through persistent brand promotion, Yiwugo has ushered in a period of explosive growth

Sticking to the principle of independent brand development, Yiwugo has been dedicated to serving the brands it hosts over the years and seen constant increase in its own brand awareness. Today, Yiwugo has become one of the most influential B2B e-commerce platforms in the professional market of China. In addition, Yiwugo has persisted in promoting its brand overseas through Facebook and Google to reach out to more overseas buyers. To date, Yiwugo has more than 7 million followers on Facebook, and it is easy to find Yiwugo’s suppliers on Google.

3. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought changes to buyers’ behavior and promoted the development of online platforms

Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the world into lockdown. As a result, more small-commodity deals have been shifted from offline to online. Small-commodity buyers across the world are looking for proper suppliers on Yiwugo, obtaining their contact information, and holding remote negotiations on small-commodity deals. In this way, the quarantine will not stand in the way of business communications.

4. The post-pandemic economic recovery has spurred many to restart businesses and look for sources of commodities

The pandemic has lasted half a year and delivered a heavy blow to the global economy and livelihood, especially to small- and medium-sized enterprises. Along with the economic recovery, the suppressed consumption power is being released. Everyone is seeking the most convenient way to restart economy and go back to normal life. Small commodities, as daily necessities for the general public, have also embraced a surging demand, which has led to a spike in the traffic on Yiwugo.

Europe’s Urgent Need for Improved Business Continuity Creates an Unprecedented Opportunity for the UCaaS Market

Leave a comment

The market is projected to witness double-digit growth rates with more countries and customer segments adopting mobile UCaaS, says Frost & Sullivan

SANTA CLARA, California, June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Growth Opportunities in the European Hosted IP Telephony and UCaaS Market, Forecast to 2026, finds that the European hosted Internet Protocol (IP) telephony and Unified Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) market will experience slower-than-anticipated growth in terms of both users and revenue in 2020 and 2021 due to churn in the installed base and reduced new user acquisitions. It will bounce back in 2022 and maintain a steady trajectory until 2026. The market is estimated to double in terms of provider revenue from 2019 to 2026, with installed users reaching 76.3 million by the end of the forecast period.

For further information on this analysis, please visit: http://frost.ly/455

“Remote work mandates due to COVID-19 will create an unprecedented opportunity for service providers to promote software-based communications as a key enabler of business continuity as well as demonstrate the flexibility of UCaaS and cloud services in terms of capacity adjustments and location-agnostic services delivery,” said Elka Popova, Vice President of Research, Information and Communications Technologies, at Frost & Sullivan. “The need to rapidly accommodate a larger number of remote workers and digitally transform entire organizations within a short span of time will favorably position providers with flexible packaging and pricing, efficient provisioning, and solutions that are feature-rich yet intuitive, mobile-ready, and easy to use and manage.”

Popova added: “From a growth perspective, the Nordic and Benelux UCaaS markets are maturing fast, whereas considerable untapped opportunities remain in the rest of Europe, with Central and Eastern European markets likely to experience the highest growth rate due to the large addressable market in under-penetrated countries such as Russia.”

To capitalize on immense opportunities presented by the hosted IP telephony and UCaaS market in Europe, market participants should focus on the following trends:

  • Due to the COVID-19 crisis, businesses and individuals operating/working remotely are more likely to use a variety of cloud services to remain connected. This trend is expected to positively impact demand for conferencing and collaboration services along with cloud calling services.
  • Contact centers, vertical markets, frontline workers, and Unified Communications (UC) embedded in productivity, business and vertical apps or Internet of Things (IoT) devices represent new growth opportunities. Hence, vendors should identify unique needs and new use cases to provide differentiated value as core markets mature.
  • Communications and collaboration upgrades must be treated as part of long-term digital transformation strategies. AligningUCaaS deployments with customers’ broader business goals and IT roadmaps will be fruitful.
  • Competition is intensifying as incumbent carriers, next-gen domestic providers, and international competitors target European businesses with compelling UCaaS offerings. International expansion can help providers capitalize on untapped opportunities in less-penetrated markets, as well as better serve multi-national businesses.

Growth Opportunities in the European Hosted IP Telephony and UCaaS Market, Forecast to 2026 is the latest addition to Frost & Sullivan’s Information and Communications Technologies research and analyses available through the Frost & Sullivan Leadership Council, which helps organizations identify a continuous flow of growth opportunities to succeed in an unpredictable future.

DSP Labs of Onchain Launches A New Generation of Distributed Storage Protocol

Leave a comment

BEIJING, June 18, 2020 — DSP Labs (dsplabs.io), a subsidiary of Onchain, announced the launch of a distributed storage protocol DSP (Distributed Storage Protocol) plan. It is reported that the DSP (Distributed Storage Protocol) protocol is a multi-dimensional new generation Internet protocol paradigm based on data file encryption, distribution, storage, sharing. The goal of the DSP protocol is to become the core infrastructure of the Next Generation Internet.

This move has the opportunity to create a distributed, decentralized, and interconnected parallel world network to create a higher performance, more economical, safer, and more open data sharing transmission protocol and file storage network. As the foundation of the Next Generation Internet, it provides fast, free and safe interaction of information and data for the entire network, reduces the cost of data transmission and storage, and accelerates the revolution in the era of information freedom.

DSP Labs, recently established by Onchain, is a research, development and deployment organization that improves the Next Generation Internet technologies. DSP Lab is building a new set of free and open network protocols. Based on this set of protocol, data freedom and interconnection freedom in the true sense can be realized. At the same time, a user data file sharing library can be formed under a free network. This database is neutral and jointly owned by the users themselves. This means that no institution can control it. Of course, to build such a database, someone must put in a lot of work to maintain its authenticity. Traditionally, intermediaries like technology giants, banks and governments are used to ensure database security. And now, it is based on mathematical and physical database trust. In other words, the database is self-monitoring, self-operating, and self-managing. No need to rely on centralized organization commitment to protect data from harm or how to store or use it. All this returns to the individual, and the storage, distribution, use, sharing, and authorization of the data can be completely controlled by the individual. As an open and free network protocol, it is necessary to enable any device with networking capabilities to join the network through the new protocol and become a data node in the network. It is not limited to devices with special configuration or special authorization, all devices share the same network environment, and the data of all devices are interwoven in the same network.

Founded in 2016, Onchain is a leading blockchain technology company in China. It is committed to building an open-source and transparent trust scheme. Onchain lives by the technical strategy of "independent code + open-source", always striving to be world-class.

Leave a comment

New release provides enhanced intelligent network management, security and service troubleshooting with actionable insights; reducing overall costs while improving the customer experience

WESTFORD, Massachusetts, June 18, 2020 — Ribbon Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN), a global provider of real time communications software and network solutions to service providers, enterprises, and critical infrastructure sectors, today announced the general availability of the latest release of its market-proven Analytics portfolio. Ribbon’s enhanced Analytics portfolio is specifically designed to help mobile network operators and service providers deliver advanced voice service quality insights down to the application, subscriber, device, and service level over their VoLTE networks. The Ribbon Analytics portfolio is based on the latest in cloud-based technology that easily scales vertically and horizontally to deliver numerous out of the box capabilities to address critical VoLTE network and service related problems.

As mobile providers begin to deploy 5G network data services, they are still heavily reliant on VoLTE/IMS-based architectures to support voice services. Ribbon’s Analytics portfolio enables advanced support for VoLTE networks and subscriber service assurance to help service providers monitor and isolate voice and rich communications services issues as they build out their 5G networks.

The Ribbon Analytics portfolio also delivers advanced real time communications security enforcement capabilities to support on-demand mitigation of fraud and nuisance calling at the edge of the network.  Service providers can now apply security mitigation policies to an entire network or to specified devices at any time. They can also easily apply network-wide policies, such as access control list rules before any security incidents have been raised. 

"Today’s communications networks are extremely large and complex and will become even more so with the increased adoption and deployment of new 5G and IoT services," said Charlotte Patrick, Senior Industry Analyst and Founder of Charlotte Patrick Consult. "This will not only necessitate that service providers have the advanced analytics toolsets required to reduce operational costs and network complexities while improving the customer experience, but they must also leverage intelligent service assurance capabilities that allow them to quickly identify, isolate, diagnose and proactively resolve network issues before they escalate."

"Our customers are faced with numerous network operational challenges including service complexity, security threats, and rising costs," said Tony Scarfo, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Cloud and Edge Business Unit at Ribbon. "The Ribbon Analytics portfolio underpins and addresses these issues by leveraging a single pane of glass for one unified view of the network. More importantly, it is designed to help our customers better understand their end-user customers and model their network and services to better support and protect them."

Ribbon Analytics Benefits:

  • Provides a 360-degree view and understanding of real time communications usage enabling service providers to extract greater value for end-users, their services and their networks.
  • Enables service providers and businesses to expedite troubleshooting, intelligently manage their networks, and deliver advanced insights reducing operational expenditures while improving the overall subscriber experience.
  • Delivers actionable insights to quickly detect and mitigate security threats.
  • Enables operators to seamlessly deploy new and growing technologies such as 5G.
  • Provides expanded real time communications security policy enforcement towards the network edge.
  • Offers extended monitoring and security enforcement applications support for fixed network transformation deployments.
