Delivering high-quality video streaming from remote northern locations to offices across Europe despite limited network capabilities

The company needed to deliver high-quality video streaming of an annual corporate event from remote northern locations to offices across multiple regions, despite limited network capabilities, while creating a flexible infrastructure that wouldn't require year-round maintenance.
The mining company conducts an annual reporting event that needs to reach employees from European regions to the Far North. The IT department required a streaming solution that would operate reliably within restricted-bandwidth networks while accommodating thousands of viewers. Since these broadcasts occur only a few times per year, the solution needed to be deployed temporarily without paying for continuous support.
We developed a custom local Content Delivery Network (CDN) built on Flussonic Media Servers to transmit video at maximum quality. Each office location received a local Flussonic instance that transcoded the stream on-the-fly and distributed it appropriately. This approach ensured video was transferred between offices only once, minimizing network load.
The broadcast originated from the northern mining region with redundant Media Servers for reliability, and viewers received HLS broadcasts with minimal delay and the ability to access archived content during the live event.
