Subscribers Worldwide
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Limelight
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:LLNW) is now making it easier for the curious
to satisfy their immediate desire to view a vast library of streaming
content on a myriad of topics. Limelight, a global leader in digital
content delivery, today announced its technology platform is managing
and streaming content for CuriosityStream,
the first streaming service for the world's nonfiction content that can
be viewed on any device worldwide.
“We built a new OTT service from the ground up, so we turned to
Limelight as a single solution to manage, secure and deliver our videos
so we could focus our resources on building our streaming business,”
said Peter North, chief digital officer for CuriosityStream. “Our
customers expect us to support a variety of devices such as Roku and
Apple TV, native smart TV applications, tablets and smartphones.
Limelight enables us to deliver video in the ideal format to each of
these competing but inherently different streaming platforms.”
At the formation of CuriosityStream, the company sought a comprehensive
solution to address its video workflow and content delivery needs on a
global scale. They selected the Limelight Orchestrate Video Platform, a
suite of cloud-based video delivery and management software. Orchestrate
provides an instant global footprint, scalability that can handle peak
loads and consistent delivery in broadcast quality regardless of device
or geography.
“CuriosityStream viewers often watch its curated content on science,
technology and significant historical events on multiple devices. There
is a high probability that some viewers may even start watching on one
device and finish on another,” said Kevin Odden, group vice president of
sales at Limelight. “Limelight consistently delivers the high quality
experience they expect on any video capable device worldwide.”
Additional details on how Limelight is helping CuriosityStream stream
more than 1,000 videos on-demand are available in a case study here.
