Case Study: Arirang TV achieves high-quality global live broadcasts and 369% website visitor growth with CDNetworks’ Media Acceleration

Arirang Provides High-Quality Live Broadcast with CDNetworks’ “Media Acceleration” Service

Arirang TV, Korea’s leading global broadcaster founded in 1997, reaches audiences in 188 countries and serves 112.85 million satellite subscribers. Despite strong domestic delivery, 85% of its web visitors were overseas and suffered poor video playback due to weak network conditions and the growing variety of devices (PCs, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs), creating an urgent need for smooth, high-quality online streaming worldwide.

Arirang deployed CDNetworks’ Media Acceleration in 2012—leveraging a 200+ PoP global delivery platform, adaptive streaming and an analytics portal without new hardware—to deliver stable, optimized live and on-demand video across devices. The result: a 22% rise in video quality satisfaction, a 369% increase in website visitors, consistent HD delivery to viewers worldwide, and improved device-specific performance and analytics for ongoing optimisation.
