Rolled out by China
Telecom (Fujian) in 2013, Yilian has achieved an average monthly call volume of
over 100 million minutes and attracted more than 500 partners.
The Yilian capability
exposure platform connects the telecom network from China Telecom (Fujian) to
the Internet. The platform is based on the Huawei CaaS solution and incorporates
the operator’s traditional communication capabilities (such as instant
messaging, voice, click-to-call, video, and conference services) into APIs and
SDKs. These APIs and SDKs are exposed to third-party developers, enterprises,
and vertical industries over the Internet for service development. So far, the
platform has been applied to 17 sub-industries, including eCommerce, O2O,
Internet finance, telemedicine, and online education.
Yilian was rolled out
in 2013 and launched commercially in 2014. After three years of development, a
mature partner ecosystem was achieved. The number of partners has increased
from 6 to more than 500. The platform spans 17 industries (including online
education, telemedicine, life service, and real estate informatization),
serving more than 500 enterprises, including Tencent, 58.com, QFang.com, and Haodg.com. Soon, the platform will cooperate with more
enterprises to build a more complete ecosystem.
In June 2015, China
Telecom assessed the Yilian project and recognized its achievements. In
November 2015, China Telecom officially released Yilian. After two years
of development, the total call volume doubled each year, reaching 100 million
minutes at the beginning of 2015. In December 2015, the monthly call volume
reached 100 million minutes for the first time, and
in 2016
the monthly average traffic reached 100 million minutes, significantly
exceeding the annual call volume of the IMS network in Fujian.
Traffic growth, in
turn, drives GMSC capacity expansion. With the increase in partners, call volume
will also significantly increase. On May 27, 2016, China Telecom (Fujian)
launched the National Small Number Service, which has become the national intensive platform of China
Telecom.
Yilian’s success not
only brings new opportunities and revenues to China Telecom (Fujian), but it also
proves the feasibility of the CaaS solution, providing other operators with referential
experience. Huawei’s concept of CaaS capability exposure is closely aligned
with China Telecom (Fujian)’s IN strategy. The unified organization, market
expansion, and unified platform operation build a solid foundation for the platform’s
success.
China Telecom (Fujian) and Huawei Jointly Build a CaaS Pilot
Site
Since the opening of
the pilot site, built by China Telecom (Fujian) and Huawei, China Telecom Group
and its regional branches have used it for assessment, and more than 20 leading
overseas operators have visited or communicated, including operators from the
KPN in Holland, Belarus, and the Ukraine. After a new round of optimization in
May 2016, the site anticipates more visits from global operators.

What Is CaaS?
Communication-as-a-Service
(CaaS) helps operators expose communication capabilities and resources. By exposing
message, voice, video, conference, and collaborative communication capabilities,
as well as user data, to different applications, operators can implement
ubiquitous connections and communication between humans, things, and
organizations. Embedding communication capabilities into the business process
improves enterprise efficiency and service innovation.
Huawei
defines CaaS from two perspectives:
- From a traditional telecom perspective, the CaaS exposes APIs at the top layer of the network for third parties to develop Apps.
- From an innovation perspective, Huawei incorporates communication capabilities into SDKs and extends their applications to as many terminals as possible, enlarging the subscriber base.
