What They Say
Limelight Networks said that it can supply online streamed video on a global scale with ‘sub-second latency’. This should allow interactive video applications and the following applications.
- Live sports – In-event betting allowing fans to bet on in-game outcomes while the game is being played
- Live auctions—Remote bidders can participate through a livestream and have a ‘just like being there’ experience along with those on-site.
- Online gaming—Online casinos can allow all players to instantly see table action and to place bets more quickly, increasing the number of hands that can be played each hour.
The implementation depends on a combination of the use of the firm’s mobile and HTML SDKs and global network.
What We Think
I can’t be the only one that in the current pandemic, can only access the sport I want to watch online. It’s really frustrating when my phone pings up to signal a goal, while I’m a few seconds behind. Interactivity could also allows new applications, especially now the world is used to Zoom and other video apps. While digging around the firm’s website, I spotted this report on the state of online gaming in 2020. Useful data! (BR)
