Case Study: Alpha Networks achieves 55% lower live transcoding costs with Bitmovin Live Encoding

Alpha Networks powers live streaming with Bitmovin and Akamai

Alpha Networks, a global video distribution software provider, needed a way to deliver secure live streaming in up to 4K across more than 50 device types, maintain reliable playback on variable networks, and add new revenue through server-side ad insertion. To address these challenges, Alpha Networks chose Bitmovin Live Encoding on Akamai Connected Cloud for its Gecko, Bee, and Tucano products.

Bitmovin implemented a cloud-based live encoding solution that optimized ABR outputs, lowered delivery costs, and supported fast deployment with flexible APIs. The results were significant: Alpha Networks launched in weeks rather than months and reduced live transcoding costs by 55%, while maintaining high video quality and a consistent viewing experience.
