Where growth takes root: at IBC2026 (Stand 1.A51), we will be showcasing how sustainable growth starts with strong foundations, not just new tech alone.
Five demo areas will cover the full TV service lifecycle: operations & monetization, video playback performance, content protection & anti-piracy, interactive viewing & discovery, and flexible apps & UI.

So, whether you're launching a new service or upgrading a mature deployment, come see how the right foundations translate into long-term growth.

We are delighted to have made it through the selection process to the longlist for the IBC2026 Innovation Awards, especially as IBC says it's been a hugely busy year for the Awards with over 120 entries.

We've been nominated in the Content Distribution category, along with our partner on the project , for our work on the MasOrange multi-brand TV expansion.

MasOrange has modernised its services in Spain’s intensely competitive pay-TV market, deploying an integrated advertising architecture provided by us and supported by Broadpeak. The project established a unified backend supporting three TV brands - MÁSMÓVIL TV, Yoigo TV and PepeTV - on a shared technical foundation, enabling consistent service delivery across IPTV and OTT.

Events such as the FIFA World Cup are the most demanding tests in live streaming: tens of millions of simultaneous viewers with zero tolerance for freeze events or rebuffering.

Our latest blog post examines what quality of service really means in 2026, covering the interplay between continuity, latency, and image quality, and the monitoring and architecture decisions that determine whether an operator delivers or disappoints. From ABR ladder design to agentic AI-driven CDN load balancing, the bar has never been higher.

What live sports streaming quality of service really means in 2026: continuity, latency, image quality, and the architecture to deliver them at World Cup scale.

23/06/2026

Live sports is where latency stops being a conversation about infrastructure and starts becoming one about business.
With the world watching the World Cup, our latest piece examines the current state of low-latency OTT delivery: the achievable targets, the problem of mobile viewing, the adjacent pipeline issues that often get overlooked, and why Media over QUIC represents the most significant shift in what's technically possible since adaptive bitrate streaming.

At ATX Singapore our VP Global Pre-Sales, Salimali Shakir, joined Tara Neal, Executive Editor of The Fast Mode, to talk through the trends shaping content distribution and what VO is doing to help service providers stay ahead.
The conversation covered a lot of ground: flexible monetisation models, AI-driven content discovery, and the ongoing challenge of protecting premium content from piracy. But it kept coming back to one idea. As Salimali put it (and you will have heard us say before): "Our key message is basically launch faster, spend wiser, and scale smarter." One observation from many worth highlighting ,though, is that global streaming services have effectively harmonised audience expectations worldwide. Users everywhere now want content-centric interfaces, personalised recommendations, and friction-free discovery. And it is the operators who can deliver on that are the ones building loyalty.
