WebRTC to be platform of choice with 5G and expansion of OTT offerings

The WebRTC or Web Real-Time Communications (RTC) supported services will usher into the ICT ecosystem a next-generation services ecosystem of communications, applications, content, and commerce. The study evaluates WebRTC technology, evolving ecosystems, solutions, and applications. It also addresses the role of value chain partners, WebRTC APIs, enterprise applications, telecom operators, and other CSPs within the evolving ecosystem.

Findings
* WebRTC will be the RTC platform of choice with the introduction of 5G and the expansion of OTT offerings.
* Cloud-based Communications, Applications, Content, and Commerce (CACC) will benefit greatly from WebRTC.
* WebRTC is a key component of an overall CACC strategy for CSPs as they seek to retain customers and grow revenues.
* CSPs are stumbling with the implementation of RCS, making WebRTC deployment critical as well as partnering with various third parties.
* While WebRTC is table-stakes for CSPs, they also have revenue potential from back-end integration with their most important customers: enterprise.
* Telecom APIs are a key component to overall WebRTC success for the entire value chain as well as leveraging telecom data in a cloud-based DaaS business model.

WebRTC is being applied to all modern and native browsers for virtually all major platforms to support sharing of voice, video, and generic data between peers, allowing developers to create compelling video-and-voice communication solutions. There are numerous use cases of WebRTC, the technology behind certain industry-leading communications and collaboration solutions including Discord, Facebook Messenger, and Google Meet/Hangout.

Use cases range from advanced video calling apps (such as Skype, Duo, and WhatsApp) and screen sharing to the more basic web apps that can use your microphone or camera. Major drivers for vendor, service provider, and developer adoption are ease of implementation, compatibility with browsers and OS, and free open-source with no need for third-party applications.
