Media services may need more from networks than a bit pipe: insight into what viewers experience, help when the network can give it, delivery at scale, and a way to bring content in and keep it protected.
Each showcase below starts from that problem, follows with the technology that supports a solution and what you can build with Reference Tools.
Packet and server observations alone cannot fully reconstruct the player’s current experience. Players report QoE metrics and their consumption, and add CMCD key–value pairs, such as buffer state, playback rate and throughput estimate, to ordinary HTTP media requests.
Downlink media streaming with pull- and push-based content ingest: a service equivalent to a CDN, deployed inside or outside the mobile network, while the application keeps standard HTTP adaptive-streaming formats.
AF-based and ANBR-based assistance towards the client and the RAN, such as a short delivery boost when the buffer runs low; policy templates instantiated and provisioned through the PCF, one per quality tier (SD, HD, UHD).
Help shape what connected media looks like next and scale your projects with the industry.
