Giraffic’s Target Markets Smart TV Mobile IP STB OTT VIDEO PROVIDERS Gaming DEVICE MANUFACTURERS • Video Acceleration
Limitations of Internet “Over-The-Top” TV The user experience issues: Re-buffering pauses, lower resolution, inconsistent streaming experience, longer download time. Some reasons: • At Home Bandwidth “Competition” • Last Mile ISP or Mobile Connection • Network Operator Backbone Congestion & Peak Hours • Content Servers Overload • Niche/Long Tail Content Caching Limitation 1–3 Mbps These issues are magnifiedacross varying geographies, internet infrastructure and video services.
Solution: Control the Throughput (not the Bandwidth) Outsmart Internet Limitations with Adaptive Video Acceleration™ • Real Time bandwidth and connection analytics • Client-side HTTP throughput optimization • Playback Shaping Client-side software integration on the device: Client Software Powered by
