Broadpeak.io at Qatar World Cup
Broadpeak has assured that several content providers and pay-TV operators are using broadpeak.io software as a service (SaaS) for video streaming during the 2022 world football competition in Qatar.
For example, Gtd, an ICT service provider; worked with broadpeak.io to manage and comply with complex content rights for the worldwide football tournament in the Chilean market. “We were looking for a solution that allowed us to comply with all rules for this highly popular event without modifying our current system. broadpeak.io proved to be the best solution that would be ready on time for the tournament in Qatar,” said Cristian Carcamo, TV Engineering Chief at Gtd.
During the international football tournament, broadpeak.io enables video service providers to temporarily stream live TV channels and replace content in order to comply with rights regulations.
In addition, Icelandic company Síminn has chosen broadpeak.io for content replacement as part of its services to its end users during the international competition. “We have selected broadpeak.io to handle regional blocking for international events based on their extensive experience in video streaming and cloud deployments,” said David Gunnarsson, Director of TV services at Síminn. “For temporary events like sports, choosing a SaaS platform for managing content rights is the most flexible option. We can easily turn on and off the video streaming service, as needed, for all our customer devices at once, without deploying a new infrastructure.”
