Case Study: Facebook achieves reliable high-bandwidth gaming summit connectivity with Peplink

Facebook keeps APAC Gaming Creator Summit running with Peplink and 100 creators online

Facebook required a robust and reliable internet connection for its APAC Gaming Creator Summit in Bangkok to support nearly 100 gaming creators. The challenge was to ensure continuity, high responsiveness, low latency, and high bandwidth for live streaming and gameplay, as any connectivity issues could disrupt the event. Peplink products were selected to meet these demanding requirements.

The solution implemented by Peplink, through partner CYN Communications, used a multi-WAN setup including Balance routers and a MAX Transit Duo for cellular backup. This provided load balancing, bandwidth bonding, and hot failover to maintain a strong connection. The event was a success with no stream interruptions. Subsequently, gaming in Thailand grew by over 85%, and the country ranked among the top five for watching Facebook gaming live streams in 2019.
