MainStreaming has joined the OpenMOQ Software Consortium, an industry initiative developing open-source software to implement the IETF’s Media over QUIC (MOQ) and QUIC standards.
OpenMOQ brings together technology companies to build an open-source foundation for future media transport technology. MoQ is designed to support ultra-low-latency streaming while enabling efficient distribution to broadcast-scale audiences.

By joining the consortium, MainStreaming said it is committing engineering resources to developing open-source MOQ software – working alongside fellow OpenMOQ members on ingest, relay, and playback implementations that will support the protocol’s adoption.
Sergio Carulli, Chief Product Officer at MainStreaming, said: "Live streaming continues to push the boundaries of both latency and scale, and the industry needs a shared, well-engineered foundation to meet those demands. That’s why we believe in open standards. Working alongside other companies in OpenMOQ allows us to accelerate innovation, contribute our operational expertise, and help establish MOQ as a common foundation for the future of streaming."
Will Law, Chairman of the OpenMOQ Software Consortium, added: "We’re glad to welcome MainStreaming’s industry experience into OpenMOQ. Their day-to-day work delivering live video at scale is exactly the real-world perspective that will keep MOQ development grounded in what broadcasters and platforms actually need. We look forward to building software for the next generation of media transport together."
