At Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona, Broadpeak will demonstrate technologies for streaming video over managed networks and OTT. Specific products being highlighted will include the company's nanoCDN, umbrellaCDN and Video Delivery Analytics.
The company will demonstrate, in partnership with Squadeo, a provider of player solutions, its nanoCDN technology, which is designed to reduce latency for live video streaming on every screen. The combination is intended to bring latency in the live multiscreen ABR streaming environment to the equivalent of what is experienced with IPTV.
nanoCDN is designed to turn broadband gateways, cable modems, WiFi routers, or set-top boxes into active components of an operator's content delivery infrastructure. Leveraging home networks, operators can manage the consumption peaks of live multiscreen services for millions of simultaneous viewers. It's also designed to reduce the amount of video that needs to be buffered at the player level. Squadeo's low live latency multi-platform player for set-top, desktop, Web and mobile has been further tailored for nanoCDN to adapt the amount of buffered video and ABR policy to the actual user context.
umbrellaCDN from Broadpeak is intended to allow operators to choose the best CDN for streaming video content. A key highlight at MWC 2017 will be a capability of umbrellaCDN called CDN Diversity, which is designed to enable operators to dynamically take into account the instantaneous quality of several CDNs as a service to combine their contributions.
Broadpeak will bring its new standalone Video Delivery Analytics solution to MWC. It's intended to let content providers see the QoE actually perceived by end-users, via information such as startup time, stall durations, rebufferings and user interactions.
