At Edgio, we’re always looking ahead to the future. Some major challenges we are addressing include establishing standards and guidelines for streaming technologies. For example, we are actively discussing ways to reduce streaming latency and balance stream quality with costs. As streaming technology evolves, we aim to identify potential cost savings while maintaining high quality and navigating these changes with our clients effectively. We are diligently working on scalability and reliability, exploring topics such as ATSC 3.0 broadcasting and Uplynk’s CDN Streaming Offload around multi-cast distribution technology.
Additionally, we are developing a mid-stream seamless multi-CDN switching based on player analytics. These technical challenges cannot be solved in a silo. The SVTA helps push the boundaries and provides initiatives such as developing standards for video compression, streaming protocols, content protection, and other aspects of the streaming video ecosystem. By establishing common standards and practices, the SVTA fosters innovation and improves consumers’ and industry professionals’ overall streaming video experience.
