MainStreaming has purpose-built its revolutionary Edge Video Delivery Network to address low latency, high-definition video delivery and provide a managed private or hybrid Edge Network optimally and sustainably for each client.

The company’s products have been developed upon 3 pillars. The three core foundations are the prerequisites for QoE and QoS:

• Smart Architecture: Streamlined to optimize all resources while ensuring high quality of service and reduced power consumption
• Intelligent Software: Ensures quality of delivery through Smart Algorithms, Advanced Analytics, and a continuous monitoring of QoE (Quality of Experience) and network conditions.
• Edge Distribution Network: Edge services and interconnected network, within ISP premises, are designed to be closer to the end users.

We also optimize the hardware components and the software algorithms for video use cases to help important players in the streaming field evolve their offerings and bring notable events to users simultaneously. Edge servers deliver a higher quality of streaming when they are closer to end users and positioned inside an ISP network. ISPs know where to deploy Video Edge Network cache capacity based on their network congestion patterns.

This way, traffic is distributed to dozens of points, reducing the load on the ISP network, improving results for the end user, and minimizing the distance traveled by packets.
