Case Study: Swift delivers reliable streaming in low-bandwidth environments with Wowza Video

How Swift Delivers Reliable Streaming at the Edge with Wowza

Swift needed to deliver live and on-demand video in extremely bandwidth-constrained environments such as remote mining camps, offshore vessels, aged care homes, and defense sites, often with less than 1 Mbps connectivity and little or no on-site IT support. To solve this, Swift turned to Wowza Video, using Wowza Streaming Engine as the core of its edge-powered streaming platform.

Wowza Video helped Swift standardize local streaming nodes, manage them centrally, and use predictive pre-caching and adaptive delivery to keep playback reliable even on narrow links. The results were strong: 99.99% uptime across 150+ edge deployments, more than 25,000 daily users across Australia, and over 3,000 concurrent streams per site at peak, while also improving access to communications and mental-health resources.
