Case Study: USNile achieves seamless Arabic live and VOD OTT delivery to US subscribers with Setplex

Setplex Delivers OTT Arabic Video of Both Live And VOD Content to the US Via An SVOD Service

USNile is a US-based OTT provider delivering Arabic live channels and VOD to subscribers in the United States and Canada. Facing the challenge of downlinking Arabic content from satellites in Europe, transcoding those feeds and reliably distributing them via CDN worldwide, USNile engaged Setplex to build and operate its SVOD service and streaming infrastructure.

Setplex delivered an end-to-end OTT solution, guiding USNile through implementation, locating strategic data centers near the satellites, and providing Setrix for transcoding. USNile uses the Setplex CDN (powered by Akamai and Limelight) and offers LiveTV, VOD, 7-day Catchup (rewind live and go back up to 7 days) and a 7‑hour Time Shift feature to match Western time zones—enabling reliable global distribution and expanded viewer functionality through Setplex’s platform.
