Conversant Solutions, a leading provider of hybrid content delivery networks (CDN) services and solutions in Asia, announced today that it has successfully partnered with StarHub to offer live streaming of the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley fight on April 10, 2016. Leveraging our industry leading hybrid CDN service, StarHub has successfully delivered this highly anticipated live streaming event to its customers on the StarHub Go iOS, Android and Window Mobile apps, providing end users with a superior live video streaming quality.
Conversant’s unique hybrid CDN service has been deployed by leading telecommunication service providers across Asia to offer a high quality over the top (OTT) video service to millions of subscribers. Our hybrid CDN architecture allows telecommunication service providers to have control over on-net video delivery while at the same time leverage the resources of the largest CDN Federation in Asia to handle peak demand.
“Conversant’s hybrid SwiftServe CDN service enables us to support high-quality, adaptive bit rate video delivery of this highly anticipated live boxing event to our customers. We are able to expand our CDN delivery capacity on demand, which gives us flexibility in offering OTT video services to our customers. This also helps us to efficiently manage the cost of delivering large scale, one-time live streaming events,” said Ms Lin Shu Fen, Head of Family Segment & HubLife at StarHub.
“Telecommunication service providers are increasingly seeing the ability to provide their subscribers with a high-quality content experience on any device, anywhere as a core business requirement. We see more demand from telecommunication service providers to deliver large scale live events and our hybrid CDN architecture is best suited to the business requirements of our customers. We are pleased to support StarHub as it expands its OTT offering with more live events,” said Mr Cheong Kong Wai, CEO and Founder of Conversant.
