Haivision acquires P2P specialist Teltoo

Streaming video technology provider Haivision has acquired Spain-based Teltoo, a specialist in peer-to-peer (P2P) and WebRTC-enabled real-time video delivery.  

Haivision said that the acquisition would extend its expertise in cloud-connected live video, from contribution and distribution, through to delivery.

The company also said that acquiring Teltoo would enable it to apply its machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities against real-time network analytics to optimise complete edge-to-edge low latency video workflows.

Teltoo’s technology incorporates P2P, WebRTC, and advanced real-time network analytics to optimize video delivery for operators, media companies, and enterprises.

The company taps the potential of P2P algorithms, enabled by WebRTC for low latency browser support, to reduce the reliance on CDN distribution to individual players, helping to eliminate buffering and delivering higher quality to end users.

Haivision said it would be integrating the Teltoo technology across its products.

The Teltoo acquisition comes eight months after the company’s purchase of media artifical intelligence and machine learning specialist LightFlow Media Technologies. With both entities based in Madrid, Spain, the teams will join forces to drive forwards Haivision’s global development. The company is headquartered in Montreal with additional R&D offices in Portland, Chicago, and Hamburg.

“Teltoo is a technology innovator in the WebRTC enabled peer-to-peer live video delivery market. Teltoo has deep knowledge of applying this technology with unique insights into optimizing network topologies. Combined with our multi-CDN and artificial intelligence expertise, Haivision is once again set to disrupt the video streaming industry,” said Mirko Wicha, president and CEO, Haivision.

“By pioneering the SRT protocol and the SRT open source initiative, Haivision has already proved itself to be a leader in our industry. Together with Haivision, we are well positioned to achieve our vision of setting the new standard for video streaming delivery,” said Pablo Hesse, CEO, Teltoo.
