Across the globe, Haivision solutions power a wide range of video streaming applications for enterprise, education, medical, broadcast, and government organizations. Haivision’s growth in EMEA is highlighted by an expanded presence in Germany, home to its European headquarters, sales and technical support team as well as a research and development division. Haivision is also the original developer of SRT that was open sourced in April 2017. This video transport protocol and technology stack optimizes streaming performance across unpredictable networks with secure streams and easy firewall traversal, bringing the best quality live video over the worst networks. The SRT Open Source project, driven by the SRT Alliance, is a collaborative community of industry leaders and developers striving to achieve lower latency internet video transport by continuously improving open-source SRT. As LANG joins the other 117 members of the alliance, the adoption continues to grow enabling more manufacturers and service providers to offer SRT to their customers, improving the video streaming experiences globally, making SRT the de facto standard for low latency, secure, reliable streaming over the internet, a natural alternative to RTMP and proprietary broadcast solutions.
