Streaming at the Edge: How Swift Delivers Video to Remote Sites

Most streaming platforms are built for ideal conditions. But when your audience is on a mining site in the Australian outback, an offshore vessel, or an aged care facility with less than 1 Mbps of bandwidth, the rules change. Swift Networks built a platform that works precisely in those environments, serving 25,000+ daily users across some of the most connectivity-constrained locations in the world. 

In this session, Swift CTO Adam Ashley joins Wowza to walk through how they built a resilient, edge-powered streaming platform that delivers live and on-demand video with 99.99% uptime and no on-site IT required. 

What you’ll take away: 

• How edge streaming works and why it outperforms traditional cloud delivery in bandwidth-limited environments 
• How Swift manages 150+ distributed sites remotely, including configuration, content updates, and monitoring 
• What it takes to scale live and on-demand video across remote and isolated locations without sacrificing quality 
• Real results from Swift’s deployments, including lessons learned and what made Wowza the right fit
