We have new Points of Presence ("PoPs") in Paris, France and Illinois, bringing our global network to a total of 34 PoPs.
Our high availability infrastructure has been purpose-built for delivering broadcast quality video to global audiences without requiring a trade-off between speed and audience size.
Thanks to our multi-cloud infrastructure, Phenix customers were unaffected by the AWS outage in mid-June.
Our zero-ops, high-availability infrastructure autonomously detects network issues and instantly reroutes traffic to avoid downtime and service interruptions.
In Sync with Engineering

Fielding comments and integrating community-inspired changes to draft documentation of our WebRTC HTTP-Based Session Negotiation Protocol (WHSNP).
Launching a new version of our Mobile SDK with a streamlined API based on a token only approach toward publishing and subscribing.
Sports Betting Corner
Here are a few highlights from a recent article written by Russell Karp, SVP at DATART, on why change is long overdue for sportsbooks:
Today, there can be 45 seconds to a minute of lag in playback between real-time game action and the video stream. As a result, the projected odds for bettors don't sync with the game they’re watching. This affects in-play betting and creates a negative experience for punters.
WebRTC can be used to establish an RTP connection on top of TCP or UDP protocol with the source video server and deliver video content with sub-second latency.
Engaging users through professional visuals, high-quality video streaming, spaces that foster community and customized experiences are strong ways to keep up with the times and stay ahead of the competition.
Congratulations to our partner Stationhead for being recognized by Rob Abelow on “Where Music’s Going” as a key tool for emerging artists to connect with their fans and create shared moments that build a community.
For the second year in a row, Phenix delivered sub-second video for Verizon’s multi-view experience for the Indy500. We're excited to see continued growth of the platform with more than 130,000 streams of the Indy500 delivered this year.
Did you know 'live tv' has nothing to do with latency? It was co-opted from the golden years of broadcasting to distinguish 'live' programming like news and sports from broadcasts that were scripted, edited and pre-recorded shows.
