Remote content delivery specialist Swift has partnered with video streaming infrastructure provider Wowza to bring what they describe as high-quality streaming to the most bandwidth-constrained and infrastructure-limited environments on Earth.
Swift is now able to provide content delivery to places such as Australian mining camps and offshore oil rigs to senior care homes and defence installations by using the Wowza streaming platform. The company has developed a “highly resilient, edge-powered architecture that enables live and on-demand video streaming, even in places with less than 1 Mbps of bandwidth and no on-site IT support”.
Swift deployed over 150 localised Wowza streaming engine instances directly on-site, creating a distributed, edge-based CDN across Australia and beyond. This enables predictive content caching, adaptive bitrate delivery, and DVB-T integration.
Swift has also partnered with Beyond Blue to provide integrated mental health resources directly to remote users, supporting wellbeing in high-stress environments.
