Live Video Global Acquisition and Distribution Powered by iStreamPlanet
The first step in powering a live, online streaming broadcast is acquiring content sources from the event location to be processed for delivery to a variety of connected devices. Acquiring live video can be a challenge: dedicated fiber networks to event locations aren’t ubiquitous, and satellite uplink and satellite time can be expensive. iStreamPlanet in partnership with Interxion Data Center in London and Switch Data Center in Las Vegas, provides a unique and cost-effective alternative for acquiring live video via IP backhaul, due to the co-location of iStreamPlanet’s Broadcast Operations Centers and the multitude of carriers within these large data centers.
