CDN Strategy Blog

The Netherlands failed in the 2010 EuroVision Song Contest. Well, what would you expect with a song called Shalali Shalala.

In case you really are a die-hard fan of  this music festival, you can tune in anywhere you want.

StreamZilla is broadcasting the event for mobile clients in cooperation with Ericsson and Adactus. The  live channels and VOD streams are made available for iPhones and 3G phones. Encoders in Norway are pushing out H.264 and 3GPP live streams and vod assets to the StreamZilla CDN.

We found that the best solutions for mobile streaming are Wowza Media 2 (for HTTP streaming) and Darwin Streaming Server (for 3GPP RTSP streaming) to push out the content to the clients throughout Europe. The Ericsson mobile portal dynamically selects the right pages and presents the right streams based on the client profile.

Wowza Media Server 2 (with HTTP streaming and Smooth Streaming) support within our platform and technology is in beta today and will be officially released within a number of weeks.
