VentureLabs company, Netskirt Systems, has developed a new content delivery network (CDN) to provide high-quality streaming in rural and underserved areas. The Netskrt Edge CDN (eCDN) managed service deploys video caches deep into the internet service provider (ISP) networks to reduce bottlenecks and buffering, particularly in areas that traditional CDNs have ignored. The technology combines cloud-based machine learning for content ingestion and distribution, and edge components for local caching, allowing viewers to avoid rebuffering and low bit rates. ISPs such as Nikola Broadband have already deployed the technology to overcome quality problems caused by the introduction of live streaming traffic on their networks.

The Netskrt eCDN is an exciting new technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way broadband providers deliver streaming video in rural and underserved areas. By providing viewers with a high-quality, reliable streaming experience, the eCDN is helping to bridge the digital divide and ensure that everyone has access to the same quality of service, regardless of where they live.
