Service Management Center (SMC) is a network-wide video conferencing management system for unified scheduling and management of devices and media resources. It provides users with easy-to-use functions such as conference control and visualized O & M. It also supports face and sign-in data management, live caption, and meeting minutes by interconnecting with the AI server.

Technical Deep Dive

Huawei SMC provides network-wide administration of conferencing devices and media resources, including conference scheduling and resource coordination. Within supported Huawei deployments, licensing and media resources can be managed centrally rather than handled entirely as isolated per-device settings. The CloudMCU architecture explicitly describes centralized floating-license management, sharing between compatible devices, and real-time conversion of applicable audio, video, and data resources.

Cross-device resource sharing can improve utilization when demand is uneven across MCU platforms. If one part of the conferencing estate experiences heavy call volume while another compatible resource pool has unused capacity, centralized scheduling may distribute work according to supported policies. This does not mean every license can be freely transferred between different products, releases, or unsupported architectures. The solution must comply with product compatibility, license entitlement, hardware, and resilience requirements. In the V2.0 Huawei conferencing architecture, unified license administration and sharing of eligible media-processing resources are supported functions. The answer is TRUE.

For presales sizing, the selected signaling platform, media-processing engine, endpoint population and expected peak conference concurrency must be dimensioned independently. Huawei SMC performs centralized administration, Switch Center provides registration and call control, and the MCU supplies the media services needed for multipoint conferencing. The selected software release, server model, licenses and applicable endpoint capabilities determine the actual production limit.
