Low Latency Streaming – Low latency HLS and DASH latency of three-seven seconds allows streaming providers deliver live streams at the same or lower latency than traditional broadcast.

Video Content Delivery – Many video content providers prefer to do their own encoding and formatting of video streams and only use CDNs to handle global distribution of their streams. Limelight has a simple workflow for this use case that leverages the massive global capacity of the Limelight CDN of 100+ Tbps and 1000+ service providers network connectivity, enabling you to extend the audience scale and reach of live and VoD streams.
