As OTT video skyrockets, it’s becoming increasingly important for providers to ensure a good experience across all the devices users watch on. This can be especially difficult on mobile which, despite accounting for over 50% of all video viewing (source: DigitalTV), remains fraught with problems. In fact, 91% of viewers have experienced lag, buffering and other frustrations when trying to watch on their phone or tablet. This is usually caused by last mile issues as content travels over unreliable wifi or cellular networks, from the CDN’s edge to the user’s device.

Penthera eliminates these problems, extending the edge all the way to the device to make mobile viewing a flawless experience. Our Penthera Download technology enables users to download videos from your mobile app—so they can watch uninterrupted even when they don’t have a strong internet connection or unlimited data plan.
