Online Video Acceleration Product Integrations
Online video acceleration is helping revolutionise the way people around the globe access digital content online. Thanks to the explosion in growth of online access in developing markets such as Latin America, Asia and Africa, more and more people are visiting a plethora of different sites online, usually from slow mobile devices and across high latency low bandwidth mobile networks.
This move to a mobile first world of internet access has created problems, including putting a strain on global networks as they try and cope with an increase in demand. This is particularly problematic given that a large amount of the increase in traffic is in the form on high definition online video.
That’s where online video acceleration comes in. Many new technologies by CDN providers have emerged to solve the problem of delivering data heavy video across global networks by compressing data and optimising data flows.
