Live streaming servers without the buffering.

Ingest, transcode and deliver live video to a global audience over guaranteed unmetered bandwidth — from a single 1 Gbps origin to 200 Gbps of carrier-scale egress. Direct-peered with 3,600+ networks so every viewer takes the nearest, fastest path.

Built for multi-gigabit live.

Origins, transcoders and edge restreamers on a network that was overbuilt for sustained bursts — not a commodity backbone.

Sustained gigabit egress

Push 1–200 Gbps of guaranteed unmetered traffic with no caps and no fair-use throttling mid-broadcast.

SRT, RTMP & HLS ingest

Run your own ingest with nginx-rtmp, OvenMediaEngine, SRS or MediaMTX — full root, any stack.

Real-time transcode

High-clock EPYC and Xeon cores chew through multi-bitrate ladders; add NVENC GPUs on request.

AI-optimized routing

Traffic is steered in real time across our peers for the lowest-latency path to each viewer.

Built by network engineers.

Every layer — from our own AS 25198 backbone to the transcode box — is tuned for one job: keeping live video flowing.

01

Our own AS 25198

The backbone is overbuilt for sustained bursts, not average load, so a peak-hour spike never turns into buffering. You broadcast on capacity we own end to end.

02

Ingest on any stack

Bring SRT, RTMP or HLS into nginx-rtmp, SRS, OvenMediaEngine or MediaMTX — whatever your workflow runs. Full root means the pipeline is yours to shape.

03

Real-time transcode

High-clock EPYC and Xeon cores build multi-bitrate ladders on the fly for smooth ABR. Add NVENC-capable GPUs on request when the ladder gets heavy.

04

Routing to the nearest viewer

Traffic is steered in real time toward the closest edge, so each viewer takes the shortest path. Latency and rebuffering drop without any work on your side.

05

Direct peering at the edge

We peer directly with 3,600+ eyeball networks, keeping your stream off congested transit. Packets reach the audience over short, well-lit routes.

06

DDoS filtering that stays up

Network-level L3–L7 filtering absorbs attacks so the broadcast keeps running mid-event. Nobody gets to end your stream early.

Go live in three steps.

01

Pick a PoP near your audience

Choose from 40+ locations across Europe and the US so the origin sits close to where people watch. In-stock builds activate instantly.

02

Deploy your ingest & transcode stack

You get full root, so install nginx-rtmp, SRS, OvenMediaEngine or your own FFmpeg pipeline and wire up SRT or RTMP ingest exactly how you like it.

03

Point players at the output

Publish the HLS or LL-HLS renditions and point your players or downstream CDN at them. Scale the bandwidth tier up whenever the audience grows.

Full root, so bring whatever pipeline you like — common choices below.

One origin, nine tiers.

Order any configuration with 1 to 200 Gbps of guaranteed unmetered bandwidth — scale up the moment your audience does.

1 – 5 Gbps

Single channel

A single 1080p/4K channel, restreams and reception servers feeding a downstream CDN.

10 – 25 Gbps

Multi-bitrate ladders

Several channels with full ABR ladders served to thousands of concurrent viewers.

50 – 200 Gbps

Large live events

Marquee live events and platform-scale egress where peaks hit tens of gigabits.

Pick your streaming tier.

From a lean edge restreamer to a carrier-scale origin — every build ships with guaranteed unmetered bandwidth.

Live streaming questions.

Which streaming software can I run?

Anything you like — you get full root. Popular choices are nginx-rtmp, SRS, OvenMediaEngine, MediaMTX, Wowza and FFmpeg-based pipelines.

Is the bandwidth really unmetered?

Yes. Each tier from 1 to 200 Gbps is guaranteed and unmetered — no traffic caps and no overage billing at the end of the month.

Can the server transcode in real time?

High-clock EPYC and Xeon CPUs handle CPU transcoding; for heavier multi-rendition ladders we can add NVENC-capable GPUs on request.

How low is the latency?

With SRT or LL-HLS and our AI-routed network you can build low-latency delivery pipelines; end-to-end latency depends on your encoder, protocol and player buffer.

Can I scale during a big event?

Yes — upgrade the bandwidth tier or add edge nodes ahead of time. Tell us the date and expected peak and we will provision headroom.

Where should I host the origin?

Closest to your largest audience. We have 40+ PoPs across Europe and the US, all directly peered with the major eyeball networks.

Do you offer NVENC / GPU transcode?

Yes — for heavy multi-rendition ladders we can add NVENC-capable GPUs on request, so hardware encoding takes the load off the CPU while you keep every rung of the ABR ladder.

Can I run LL-HLS or DVR?

With full root you can run any delivery pipeline — LL-HLS and SRT for low latency, or a DVR window and catch-up buffer on the NVMe origin. It is your stack to configure.

Going live soon? Let's size your origin.

Tell us your codecs, bitrate ladder and expected concurrent viewers — we will spec the right origin and bandwidth tier, often with a price match.
