Broadpeak 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. 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.
