Know the challenges of live streaming to be well positioned as a media company!
A reliable and stable internet connection is crucial for smooth live streaming. Sufficiently high bandwidths must be available on both the broadcaster’s and the viewer’s side to ensure high-quality transmission. Low bandwidth, network congestion, or unstable connections can cause dropouts, buffering, or poor video quality.
When a live streaming event attracts a large number of viewers, the streaming system must be able to handle the heavy load and distribute the bandwidth effectively. Inefficient load balancing can lead to bottlenecks and degraded performance.
Latency, the delay between the live recording and the actual display of the stream, is a challenge in live streaming. Excessive latency can cause delays in interacting with the audience, especially during live chats or real-time comments.
For multi-platform streaming or when different streams are offered simultaneously, it is important to ensure that the content remains synchronized. Failure to do so may result in confusion or lack of cooperation among participants.
Ensuring high video and audio quality is a challenge in live streaming. Problems such as picture or sound interference, poor lighting or sound quality can affect the viewer experience.
Rights and copyright: For live streaming events, it is important to ensure that there is no copyright infringement and that the necessary rights have been obtained to broadcast the content. This can be a legal and organizational challenge.
These live streaming challenges for media companies require careful planning, the right technology infrastructure, high-quality equipment, and effective monitoring during live streaming. With proper preparation and handling of these challenges, a successful and smooth live streaming experience can be created for the audience.

A Flexible Partner for a Complex Project
“The simplicity of working with such a professional and flexible partner has lowered our costs. Over the past three years, we would have likely had to invest 30% more in our network had we gone with a different supplier. The partnership we have with them, from their account management to technical consultancy, has proven to add high value for Kyocera Document Solutions Europe time and again.”
A Privileged Partnership
“Thanks to Riedel Networks, Faller Packaging now has a state-of-the-art, fully redundant, high-visibility, and high-availability SD-WAN network connecting our six European production sites and 1,300 employees. From our head office to our shop floors and warehouses, our people can meet our fast-paced production quotas knowing that our infrastructure is rock solid, and my IT team has found the perfect partner to help keep our network running smoothly.”
We Found the Perfect Partner
“IT is the backbone of any organization, especially in medical settings with no room for failure. Riedel has proven to be an exceptional partner, and opting for a managed network was the right decision in every respect.”
Innovating Communication Solutions with Riedel Networks
„Having the right partner in business—and in life—will help you take the right steps to overcome your difficulties. Riedel has proven to be a great partner, not just in development but throughout the support process. To me, this peace of mind of a reliable connection and a reliable partner is invaluable. I look forward to collaborating with them on a radio solution for race cars in other competitive spheres.“
Our SD-WAN works perfectly!
„Today’s IT challenges are no longer about maintaining infrastructure. IT must add value by helping clients and customers stay ahead of the competition. Our SD-WAN is running perfectly and we have not had a single outage since we switched (to RIEDEL) from our MPLS. Riedel manages our network infrastructure and Internet connectivity, so we can focus on providing the best possible support to our customers. The company negotiated new agreements with our last-mile providers on our behalf and helped us save on unnecessary telecommunications costs. We reinvest this saved money in managed services. So we’re accomplishing a lot more with the same amount of spending.“
Riedel connects two worlds for us: Broadcast and IT.
„When it comes to broadcasting a first-class event like Formula 1, a strong and reliable partnership is an absolute must. We have been working with Riedel’s RiLink for many years. As soon as the fiber cable is connected to our production unit, all systems wake up, immediately connect to their hosts and start sending files or messages.“
