Case Study: Selevision achieves broadcast-quality pan-MENA OTT delivery and 95% subscriber retention with Akamai Technologies

Selevision Enhances Delivery of Digital Content in MENA with Over-the-Top Network Supported by Akamai and du

Selevision, a Saudi Arabia–based video and entertainment provider founded in 2002, delivers VoD, Live TV, HbbTV and catch‑up services across devices and up to 400 HD/SD channels. Facing limited and uneven bandwidth across the MENA region, Selevision needed to ensure broadcast‑quality OTT streaming that met both subscriber and content‑owner expectations while partnering with regional network operators.

Seleccioning du’s IP transit and Akamai’s Adaptive Media Delivery, Selevision built a low‑latency, pan‑MENA OTT backbone that delivers smooth, broadcast‑quality streams with no buffering. The solution enabled the region’s first pan‑MENA OTT network, helped attract content partners, and achieved a 95% subscriber retention rate by delivering a TV‑like experience over IP.
