Limelight Unveils Limelight Reach Live

Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:LLNW) today introduced Limelight Reach Live, a new service that streams live video to a wide array of mobile devices, including tablets, using just a single media feed. Reach Live integrates video transcoding and best-in-class streaming technologies in real-time to ensure optimal viewing experiences to audiences anywhere, and on whatever device they are using. Publishers can now easily deliver a viewing experience that is tailored to an ever-expanding array of handsets and IP-capable devices, enabling viewers to enjoy live video in a version best-suited to the screen size and bandwidth of their phone or tablet.

"According to a 2011 In-Stat survey, nearly two-thirds of smartphone owners have watched video on their devices, while nearly 86% of tablet owners have done so," said Edgardo Nazario, VP and GM, Limelight Video Platform, Limelight Networks. "As more consumers watch mobile video from a growing number of devices, Reach Live helps publishers face the challenge of tailoring high quality video to different mobile platforms in real-time. Customers simply input a single live source stream, and Reach Live delivers a viewer experience that is customized to the size of the viewer's screen and available bandwidth. Publishers no longer have to worry about meeting the specific requirements of each new device on the market -- Reach Live's automatic device detection and database do all of the work."

Further, Reach Live delivers mobile videos using Limelight's high-performance global computing platform, ensuring fast and reliable delivery of video content, even during peak traffic. Publishers can also easily access key analytics to measure end user video consumption.

Fasig Tipton, North America's oldest Thoroughbred horse auction company, is leveraging Reach Live and Limelight Video Platform to stream live horse auctions in high definition to both PCs and mobile devices.

"When your audience is judging the motion of a horse and prepared to spend upwards of a million dollars on it, you must be able to deliver extremely high quality, dependable video," notes Max Hodge, Fasig Tipton's Director of Client Services. "Reach Live lets us reliably reach a broader audience and ensure that they experience exceptional viewing experiences that enable them to make better informed buying decisions."
