Ericsson and Net Insight synchronize live streaming
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has partnered with Net Insight (NASDAQ: NETI) for use
with Ericsson's Unified Delivery Network (UDN), a content distribution service
that supports low-latency, live content delivery.
The Sye solution from Net Insight - a leading provider of live streaming, media
transport and resource scheduling - is specifically designed to harmonize the
viewing experience during live streaming events, ensuring everyone sees the same
content at the same time. As a result, viewers can engage with each other on
social media without the risk of finding out what happened on someone else's
screen before it happens on theirs.
Through the cooperation, Sye will be integrated in Ericsson's UDN offering. The
combined solution will result in a superior, highly efficient, global content
distribution service.
Ericsson's UDN is a global content delivery platform that facilitates
collaboration between content and service providers to create turnkey, value-
added services. This is superior to traditional content delivery networks
because it uses infrastructure inside service provider networks, distributing
content far closer to end users for a superior viewing experience.
Marcus Bergström, General Manager, UDN, Ericsson, says: "By resolving the
latency and synching issues, content and service providers can now create a
truly immersive live streaming experience where social interaction on the second
screen is harmonized with viewing on the first. Our UDN allows content providers
to further monetize and leverage their content in totally new ways while opening
it up for service providers to directly participate in the OTT value chain."
Per Lindgren, Senior Vice President, Live OTT, Net Insight, says: "Live events -
and especially live sports events - generate the most money in broadcasting.
However, the need to adapt to each user's connection speed has made it difficult
for the operators of OTT services to fully capitalize on these. By pairing our
technology with Ericsson's global network of UDN partnerships, we are well
equipped to overcome this challenge."
