The questions from the live chat were transmitted via a screen directly to the speakers on the podium.
With Simplex Pro, the presentations were faded in, the live chat moderated and the webcast recorded and published for later viewing.
For access to the live webcast, a landingpage was implemented specifically for this occasion with protected access for internal employees and external persons. Triage was needed as internal viewers were supposed to receive the livestream via the Hive-Client while external viewers called the stream directly from our livestream cloud. Both accesses were password protected.
With Google Analytics it was possible to analyze in real time the number of viewers and their locations and devices used.
Hive peer-to-peer technology adapts dynamically and flexibly to the existing network infrastructure and scales arbitrarily without additional hardware as the audience's devices are used as distribution nodes. Despite this technical challenge, all viewers get the livestream synchronized.
Through the Hive peer-to-peer technology was in this one event under 1%, resp. just transported 7Mbps from our livestream cloud. All other viewers received the stream internally peer2peer. This means a saving of over 99% of the network bandwidth used over the Internet.
„Providing a live stream within the corporate network is a big challenge. xtendx accompanied us and provided an ideal solution with the simplex platform, with which we can reliably serve both internal and external target groups.“
Mirco Stoffel, ITS-Manager, PwC Switzerland
