Swiss TXT takes over radio live streaming from SRG
Mehr als 30'000 gleichzeitige Hörer aus der ganzen Welt empfangen über Internet täglich die Radioprogramme der SRG. Konfrontiert mit steigenden Distributionskosten im Internet setzt die SRG auf Synergien mit der Tochterfirma Swiss TXT.
Swiss TXT offers the radio live streaming platform as a service. The majority of SRG radio stations were already migrated on January 21, 2013 - without any loss of performance for users. According to a press release, between 15 and 20 terabytes or around seven years of added listening time of audio content are already being delivered to Internet radio listeners every day. SRG is anticipating strong growth in usage and has decided to switch to an audio live streaming solution from Swiss TXT. It has thus opted for flexible distribution solutions that are operated independently of international CDN providers and bundle the distribution volumes of several media companies.
The company achieves the necessary scalability and availability with distributed delivery via two data centers. This guarantees the reliable delivery of content even during peaks in usage - for example during a Federal Council election or a sporting event. The platform supports all common formats and also allows individual geoblocking of protected content as well as a detailed, clear evaluation of usage on the individual streams.
