Broadpeak launches an ultra-high performance streaming software offering unrivalled energy efficiency 

• The new BkS450 software dramatically reduces electricity consumption and costs for operators
• A disruptive solution that reflects Broadpeak's commitment to environmental objectives in digital technology
• A new sales driver underpinning the entire software and services range

Cesson-Sévigné (France), 12 December 2022

Broadpeak (ISIN: FR001400AJZ7 – Ticker: ALBPK), a leading provider of video streaming software solutions, is today introducing a next-generation streaming software that offers exceptional energy efficiency. Thanks to its unparalleled benefits, this solution will set the Group apart from other global streaming players, and will further enhance its entire software and services offering.

Called BkS450, this streaming software running on a 3rd gen Intel® Xeon Scalable processor will enable Broadpeak's customers to provide high-performance streaming of bandwidth-intensive content (4K and 8K TV, video recorder, etc.) with much lower energy consumption than traditional servers, and at reduced cost.

In concrete terms, the BkS450 enables video services to be streamed at 725 Gigabits per second (Gbps) on 900 watt servers. Compared with previous-generation servers, the power required to stream content at 1 Gbps is reduced by a factor of four.

The Group therefore can offer ever more eco-sensitive customers an unprecedented solution that reduces the carbon footprint of video streaming without sacrificing the user experience. In addition, by using fewer computer servers and thanks to its high-density design, Broadpeak's BkS450 saves critical datacentre space.

A new sales driver underpinning the services offering

This new product introduction is part of an ongoing tide of innovation that has underpinned Broadpeak since its inception and is now facilitating an acceleration of releases of highly competitive tech solutions, in line with the roadmap presented during the IPO. Since its creation, the Group has invested more than €40 million in R&D, a department that accounts for nearly half of its total workforce.

Commenting, Jacques Le Mancq, CEO of Broadpeak, said: "The introduction of the next-generation BkS450 software into our range of solutions demonstrates our commitment to enabling more eco-friendly and cost-effective video streaming while also guaranteeing a high quality of experience for users. In collaboration with Intel®, we are taking a first giant step in combining performance and energy efficiency of video servers. This launch adds a new highly differentiating sales driver to Broadpeak's entire software and services offering.”
