From premium live sports to mission-critical applications, efficient content delivery is essential for live streaming at scale. In an exclusive interview with Streaming Media, MainStreaming CEO Tassilo Raesig discussed the challenges facing global CDN services and how Hybrid Edge Networks are shaping the future of content delivery.
The Role of Hybrid Edge Networks in Streaming
Broadcasters and OTT providers are constantly looking for high-performance streaming solutions that balance quality and cost efficiency. As our CEO explains in his interview, MainStreaming provides different models of Edge Video Delivery Network implementations for broadcasters experiencing spikes in traffic or VOD requests demanding both high quality and low-cost delivery. By deploying content closer to end users, MainStreaming enhances quality of experience (QoE) while optimizing network efficiency.
One of the biggest challenges broadcasters and OTT providers face is limited capacity for peering between CDNs and ISPs. MainStreaming addresses this by embedding edge solutions within ISP networks, reducing congestion and improving delivery speeds. This not only enhances the viewer experience but also helps ISPs avoid costly infrastructure investments while enabling new revenue opportunities.
Tackling Piracy with Real-Time Solutions
Piracy and CDN leeching continue to impact content providers, affecting revenue streams. Traditional DRM and forensic watermarking solutions offer some protection, but the need of real-time anti-piracy measures is becoming more and more important. MainStreaming’s technology detects VPN usage, license abuse, and CDN leeching in real time, allowing content providers to block unauthorized access or degrade stream quality to deter illegal viewership.
Leveraging Advanced Analytics for Optimized Delivery
In his interview, Tassilo Raesig also highlights the power of real-time analytics in maintaining streaming quality. Using Common Media Client Data (CMCD), MainStreaming gathers detailed insights into player performance and network conditions. This allows content providers to identify and resolve delivery issues instantly, ensuring seamless live streaming experiences.
With increasing demand for IP-based video delivery, ISPs and content providers must adapt to new challenges. MainStreaming is committed to delivering broadcast-grade streaming solutions, helping partners navigate the evolving streaming landscape with optimized delivery, enhanced security, and monetization opportunities.
