    Infosys & Huawei jointly develop hi-speed for stadiums

    NEW DELHI: High-speed Wi-Fi access has been jointly developed by Infosys and Chinese telecom network vendor Huawei for stadiums.

     

    “The software product integrates Huawei’s Agile network with our entertainment experience platform to offer high-speed Wi-Fi access and smart services for users in stadiums and exhibition centres,” Infosys said in a statement.

     

    With rising mobile consumption and advanced digital marketing standards, internet services will need end-to-end solutions, including wireless networks and innovative services, it said.

     

    “Need for better connected stadiums made us offer wide local area network infrastructure for enhanced user experience, with multi-tenant, cloud-based platform with managed operations and services,” it added.

     

    “Entertainment hubs offer an opportunity for traditional entities to transform with a digital layer. Potential to deliver value to attendees and entertainment centre owners increases owing to intersection of physical and digital,” Infosys Engineering Services Global Head Sudip Singh said.

     

    Logging on to the Wi-Fi network through a mobile app is the authentication for end users, enabling them to avail online services.

     

    The app also offers services for in-stadium engagements like social media, campaigns, shopping and other services.

     

    Huawei has deployed Wi-Fi networks in 20 stadiums worldwide, including Borussia Dortmund in Germany, AFC Ajax in the Netherlands, St. Louis Rams of NFL in the US and Gold Coast Suns in Australia besides in China.

     

    “The critical point of the smart solution is to link people, games, terminals and displays in a stadium through a wireless network. Operators and sponsors can achieve effective operations through the digital platform,” said Huawei’s Agile network general manager Ma Da.

    BCCC advises TV channels against showing acid attacks

    NEW DELHI: The Broadcast Content Complaints Council (BCCC) has advised all television channels to be ‘extremely sensitive to the excruciating physical and psychological agony of acid attack victims’ and ‘mitigate the overwhelming implications of any such depiction’ in their reports.

     

    In an advisory sent to TV channels, the BCCC has said it is time broadcasters were also sensitised against showing acid attacks.

     

    ‘This is even more pertinent for various crime-based programmes since these shows often depict an acid attack case in some detail through the dramatised version of a real incident’, the advisory said.

     

    It said it had received several complaints relating to content that depicts acid attacks in TV programmes. In almost all cases, the targets are women and girls.

     

    The Council considers acid attacks to be ‘among the most heinous of crimes with traumatic, irreversible physical and psychological consequences to the victim’.

     

    The Supreme Court has taken cognisance of the growing number of acid attacks in India and directed the State to frame and implement most stringent rules to regulate the sale of acid and other corrosive substances.
