Limelight Networks, already one of the biggest players in the edge computing space with 148 issued patents and published applications, has also been one of the steadiest when it comes to incremental growth. The company, known for providing systems for content delivery and video streaming, has announced a plan to expand their low-latency live video delivery options. They are also increasing the capacity for the Limelight Realtime Streaming solution, which brings scalable, sub-second live video streaming to regular browsers for real-time interaction in live meetings, gaming, wagering, and more.
The company's EdgeFunctions is a service designed to proliferate edge applications and provide a service for increased stream protection and video monetization, giving consumers the ability to manipulate content, such as ad insertion.
In the midst of COVID-19, as people are streaming more video from home - especially in the form of video calls - the ability to deliver content with minimal latency will likely become a hotter and hotter commodity, and Limelight Networks is positioned to be a major player.
