Problem
Live video streaming over the internet and public clouds faces challenges related to latency, packet loss, and jitter, which can lead to downtime and poor quality of service. Organizations lack comprehensive visibility into their video delivery networks, making it difficult to proactively identify and resolve issues before they impact viewers. Traditional network monitoring tools often lack the granularity and real-time capabilities needed for modern media workflows.
Solution
AlvaLinks offers a real-time video network observability platform that provides end-to-end visibility into live video streams. By deploying micro agents throughout the network, the platform continuously monitors latency, packet loss, jitter, and other key performance indicators with millisecond accuracy. This allows organizations to proactively detect and resolve network issues before and during live broadcasts, minimizing downtime and ensuring high-quality video delivery. The platform supports various sources, including cloud platforms, data centers, camera feeds, multicast services, and standard internet access points, providing a unified view of the entire video delivery chain.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes broadcasters, media companies, and other organizations that rely on live video streaming for their operations, particularly those using SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol.
