Case Study: KDDI achieves ultra-low-latency multi-protocol drone streaming with Ant Media

KDDI delivers sub-1-second drone video streaming with Ant Media

KDDI Smart Drone, a spin-off from the Japanese telecommunications company KDDI, faced challenges integrating diverse video protocols from multiple drone manufacturers and needed to expand its platform beyond Android to increase accessibility. They also required ultra-low latency video streaming for real-time applications. KDDI turned to Ant Media for a solution using Ant Media Server to address these issues.

By implementing Ant Media Server, KDDI achieved ultra-low latency video delivery below one second and gained multi-protocol support for seamless integration. The solution provided adaptive streaming for stable quality and a flexible licensing model that reduced costs. Ant Media enabled KDDI to build a responsive, cross-platform web application that could broadcast to multiple sites simultaneously.
