"We've implemented SRT support at the edge of our network for broadcasters that need to bring in contribution streams in the Alibaba Cloud," said Glyn Smith, Head of Media and Entertainment Product Solutions, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence. "By using SRT at the edge, broadcasters can reap the benefits of faster response times and minimal latency while avoiding network congestion."

"I'm very excited about the powerful combination of SRT and our technology for keeping latency for live streams to the bare minimum, while protecting video quality.
