Teleport Media

Seed Round in 2019
Teleport is a smart content delivery solution for Pay TV and OTT services. Working as a CDN-overlay solution on growing audiences, Teleport opens the opportunities to reduce rebuffering and raise chunks availability in pikes; rapidly grow the bitrate and overall streaming quality at no significant cost. Teleport operates as the P2P CDN. Unlike traditional CDNs, which always have a limited number of servers, Teleport scales with the growth of the audience. Each new consumer turns from a problem of the server overload, into a solution as an extra bandwidth source. Teleport Media delivers a product that accelerates your CDN and copes with peak loads to provide ultimate service quality for online viewers. By offloading CDN servers up to 80%, we streamline server capacity and bandwidth—it’s WebRTC live streaming with the same number of viewers at a far lower cost. The Teleport Media solution is charged based on view time rather than gigabytes, meaning that you can invest in attracting larger audiences instead of upgrades for your CDN infrastructure. Our patented P2P technology for delivering watermarked content offers the unique opportunity to use the WebRTC protocol to stream licensed content in compliance with the license agreement you have with the owner of the content. Whether you’re thinking about boosting your media quality or acquiring new markets and viewers, Teleport WebRTC Streaming relieves you of the technical headache so you can focus on developing your core business. The integration is as simple as adding a few lines of JS to your online player. We work and are compatible with major online video players, CDNs, and media servers, and bringing us in to integrate with your custom video solution is fast and easy.
