EXCELLENT VIDEO QUALITY ON EVERY SCREEN

Harmonic’s VOS®360 Live Streaming Platform was a perfect fit. The solution handles everything for the MAXstream service, from IP ingest to delivery. It was deployed within four weeks, and ready to go for the first game. After only the first month, 3.9 million active users were live streaming content. 70% of which are currently engaging with sports content on an intermittent basis.

Our SaaS business model makes live streaming simple. Teams of experts ensure that content always streams smoothly and securely, with the highest possible video quality. The VOS360 platform also provides serious savings with EyeQ™ content-aware encoding. It leverages artificial intelligence-based technology to reduce bandwidth consumption by up to 50%.

The entire ecosystem enables viewers to enjoy compelling live and VOD content on any device using iOS and AndroidTM. The solution provides content to Akamai’s CDN, and uses Accedo’s user experience engine. Other integrations include DRMtoday from castLabs, which manages digital rights. These close partnerships were instrumental for proper planning.

Telkomsel gets results

The success of the launch and the quality of service was rewarded with 4M new OTT subscribers in just over 4 weeks. Their growing subscriber base proved that viewers were hooked, and wanting more.
The pay-as-you-grow model made it possible for Telkomsel to expand its offer. They have since added 21 live OTT channels for over 2.1M engaged sports fans, and also VOD content. With the support of Harmonic’s VOS360 platform, Telkomsel now has the momentum to just keep on growing.
