Video surveillance plays an important role in public security, traffic management, commercial operations, etc., and has high demand for network bandwidth and stability. 10G Ethernet cards and 100G cards can provide high-definition, high frame rate, and high-reliability network transmission for video surveillance, ensuring the effect and quality of video surveillance. According to a report by market research firm Omdia, the global video surveillance equipment market will reach US$23.8 billion in 2023, of which the network camera market will reach US$8.7 billion.

? The fifth is the rise of cloud gaming. Cloud gaming refers to the technology that runs games on cloud servers through cloud computing platforms and transmits game images to user terminals through the network.

The funding chain in the United States will be cut off in 2023, posing huge challenges and opportunities to solution companies in the network solutions market.

In this case, solution companies can take the following steps to respond to the crisis and seize the opportunity:

? Offer flexible payment options and pricing strategies to attract and retain customers. For example, offer on-demand, per-traffic or per-subscription payment methods, as well as favorable discounts and packages based on the customer's needs and budget.

? Strengthen relationships with partners to jointly develop and promote innovative network solutions. For example, partner with cloud service providers, system integrators or industry leaders to leverage their respective strengths and resources to provide customers with customized, efficient and reliable network solutions.

? Adopt advanced technologies and standards to improve the performance and compatibility of network solutions. For example, technologies such as SDN, NFV, and AI are used to achieve network intelligence, virtualization, and automation; standards such as 10G/25G/40G/100G are used to achieve high-speed, large-capacity, and low-cost networks.

? Focus on network security and privacy protection to enhance customer trust and satisfaction. For example, use encryption, authentication, firewall and other technologies to prevent network attacks and data leaks; comply with relevant laws, regulations and industry norms to protect the legitimate rights and interests of customers.

? Explore new markets and areas, expand business scope and revenue sources. For example, we provide professional network solutions for emerging 5G, Internet of Things, cloud computing and other fields; we provide differentiated network solutions for different regions, industries and customer groups.
