kbro, the largest cable operator in Taiwan has selected Qwilt's Video Fabric Controllers to provide a solution to address the staggering growth of over-the-top (OTT), video on demand (VOD) and live video traffic, including Twitch, the largest live video site in Taiwan.
Qwilt, which provides online video caching, delivery and analytics, said that the solution allows kbro subscribers to view high quality content almost instantly in addition to support for unique video sites in Asia including Youku, FC2.com and QQ.com.
According to Qwilt, the solution which stores and delivers most popular content locally at the subscriber edge, offloads nearly half of all online video traffic, and improves Quality of Experience (QoE) for viewers by more than 200 percent across all sites on average, and up to 385 percent in select cases.
"The time has come where binge-watching is now one of the most popular ways to consume TV and more live streaming content is being made available online than ever before. Qwilt's transparent caching solution ensures the quality of this content is at the highest level, which enhances the viewing experience, by storing the most popular content at the neighborhood level and allowing it to reach subscribers faster. We are pleased to work with kbro to ensure their subscribers have the best viewing experience possible, whether it be watching the latest viral YouTube sensation or live streaming a Titanfall game from Twitch."
