Voddler Group AB, the cloud-streaming innovator, and VUBIQUITY, the leading global provider of premium content services, today entered into a long-term partnership to allow VUBIQUITY to use Voddler's next-generation distribution network. The partnership will enable the delivery of video content to consumers in Asia, particularly in regions with poor or low connectivity.
The partnership leverages Voddler’s award-winning proprietary VoddlerNet™, a patented, peer-assisted video delivery solution. VoddlerNet combines controlled peer-to-peer with direct video streaming from the source provider. The result is a unique hybrid streaming solution that greatly expands the reach of streaming video services and enhances the Quality of Experience (QoE), providing a perfect solution for regions with limited and congested networks. VoddlerNet also ensures against network peaks and minimizes the impact of CDN outages, resulting in a more robust and resilient streaming solution. It is easily integrated into customers existing platforms, and supports Linux, Mac, and Windows clients, as well as Android and iOS devices.
VoddlerNet is specifically optimised for delivering video over the mobile network to handheld devices, turning every customer device into a lightweight self-aware edge server and creating an intelligent swarm of video sharing nodes. The VoddlerNet solution monitors the customer’s connection type and also the device performance, ensuring that the end customers enjoy a seamless, high quality viewing experience. VoddlerNet is DRM agnostic and all communication between the nodes in the swarm is encrypted, making the solution ideal for VOD providers delivering high quality video entertainment anywhere.
The partnership will focus on combining the ability of VUBIQUITY to deliver their highly scalable and modular online video platforms with VoddlerNet’s ability to provide dramatically enhanced Quality of Service (QoS) and virtually limitless user scalability into its secure mesh network. Together, the companies will give more consumers the ability to enjoy a better video experience, anywhere, any time.

It has experienced rapid growth in the emerging markets, including Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Latin America.
“The growth of video content consumption globally has surpassed a critical inflection point, where demand is outpacing the ability to deliver great content in a great way,” said Voddler Group’s CEO, Adam H. Lewis. “Video consumers around the world are demanding constant access to premium and original content, with a consistently excellent playback experience.
“The combination of VUBIQUITY’s Premium Content Services solutions and VoddlerNet brings a whole new paradigm to video streaming and Quality of Service, particularly to mobile viewers in regions with poor or little network infrastructure. VUBIQUITY’s ReelVu and CoreVu solutions perfectly complement VoddlerNet, providing customers with a massively scalable VOD solution from the platform all the way to the end user.”
Lewis continues, “Our commitment to deliver exceptional media experiences to consumers in Asia while aggressively reducing our customers’ video delivery costs is very much enhanced by this partnership.”
