Case Study: Sportradar achieves sub-5-second, glitch-free global live streaming with Aspera FASPStream

Live Streaming of Sports Content with FASPStream to International Online Platforms

Sportradar, a global sports data and digital-content provider based in St. Gallen, Switzerland, supplies live results, statistics and a Live Channel service to bookmakers, media and federations, handling 35,000+ events annually from more than 100 rights holders. The company needed a failsafe way to contribute many high‑quality, encrypted live streams over long‑distance IP links (notably Asia–Europe and Asia–Australia) with minimal latency, error resilience and no interruptions.

Sportradar integrated Aspera FASPStream into its workflow to deliver glitch‑free, near‑real‑time streams using software‑based error correction, encryption and low‑latency tuning. The result: reliable, parallel delivery of high‑bit‑rate streams with end‑to‑end delay under five seconds, no buffering, reduced reliance on costly satellite links and faster onboarding of new content providers.
