Implementing a hybrid CDN architecture to reduce latency and improve the reliability of live video streams.
A regional television operator with a growing audience faced intermittent outages and poor image quality for viewers in the peripheral areas of the network.
We analyzed the stream topology and proposed a hybrid solution combining local Points-of-Presence (PoP) with a global cloud CDN for redundancy.
Average latency reduced by 68%, near-complete elimination of packet loss, and guaranteed scalability for live events with large audiences.
We monitored traffic over a 30-day period, identifying critical congestion points and suboptimal routing paths to certain ISPs.
We implemented 3 strategic PoP nodes in regional data centers, equipped with edge caches for the most requested content, reducing the distance to the end user.
We configured an automatic failover system. In case of a local PoP overload, traffic is intelligently redirected to the global cloud CDN without interrupting the viewing experience.
We migrated from a simple unicast protocol to a combination of HLS/DASH with adaptive bitrate, ensuring a smooth experience on any device and connection quality.
