 Dispersed teaching resources
 Low IT resource utilization (about
5% to 20%)
 Difficulty in evaluating resource
usage and benefits
 Different network status in urban
and rural areas
High O&M Costs
 Lack of unified management of class
rooms, reading rooms, computer rooms,
and multimedia classrooms.
 Heavy IT (OSs, application software, and
PC hardware) maintenance workloads

 Lossless compression for non-nature pictures: Automatically identifies the non-nature pictures such as text, Windows figures, and lines in
pictures, and implements lossless compression for them. Nature pictures, such as photos and images, are compresses at a proper rate.
 Does not repeatedly transmit same image data: Automatically identifies the unchanged data in an image, and transmits only the changed
image data, which greatly reduces the bandwidth consumption.
 Multiple image compression algorithms: Uses the optimal compression algorithm.

PSNR of non-nature pictures is higher than 50000 dB, and SSIM is 0.999955, which is close to lossless
