Cesson-Sévigné (France), 27 September 2023

Broadpeak (ISIN: FR001400AJZ7 – Ticker: ALBPK), a leading player in video streaming software solutions, today announced that it has rolled out a Multicast ABR solution in Spain in conjunction with Orange and DAZN. For live events followed simultaneously by a large number of viewers, the new solution enables high-quality streaming in a multi-screen environment.

A technological challenge: network management and an optimised experience in a multi-device environment

Streaming high-audience content without sacrificing viewing quality has always been a challenge for traffic management in the networks of telecom operators. Broadpeak's Multicast ABR technology makes it possible to stream live content with very low latency while bringing operators substantial bandwidth gains.

The best viewing experience for sports fans

"The mABR technology enabled us to reduce our investments in CDN growth as well as guaranteeing an excellent quality of service during crucial events. We are convinced that deploying this technology in our home gateways will enable us to extend its benefits to a greater number of customers and services in the future", said Carlos Ruf, Technology and Development Director at Orange TV (The entire Orange press release).

Orange started using Multicast ABR technology this year in its network for the broadcast of premium DAZN content in Spain, including La Liga, Formula 1 and MotoGP, on the main devices equipped with the DAZN app. Orange and DAZN are currently working to extend the use of Multicast ABR technology to more devices and events, as well as other live events.

Robin Oakley, VP Distribution Engineering at DAZN, said : « We are very proud to have integrated the mABR technology in most of the devices in which our app is available, including some of the most popular smartTVs and Android devices. While we are celebrating this success, we are working on ensuring that more DAZN users can benefit from this technology through Orange’s network and can enjoy our content in an optimal way. Our goal is that our product keeps evolving to offer the best viewing experience to sports fan across the world ».

"We are delighted with this partnership, which illustrates our ability – through our continuous innovation – to attract and maintain the loyalty of major telecom operators such as Orange, as well as major streaming players such as DAZN, which we started working together with nearly two years ago on the Italian market," said Jacques Le Mancq, CEO of Broadpeak.
