Why We Exist

Content Delivery in Crisis
Fragile, Costly, and Unsustainable

Today, content delivery, whether for video or audio streaming, data downloads or updates, relies on one single principle: Content Delivery Networks - CDN. In order to cope with the outstanding rising demand, over-deployments and multi-CDN dependency are proliferating to extend capacity, all in anticipation of audience peaks. Hardly sustainable for scaling and pure waste of resources!

‍Yet, there exists a wealth of unused resources: unused processing power, unused connectivity, unused storage, unused Internet... Where? Within the users' devices. Quanteec technology enables their instant usage.‍

‍Quanteec assures content delivery for streaming to large audiences in a sustainable way: ‍no extra deployments, just optimization of spare resources.
Global streaming faces a hidden imbalance that threatens its future.
Traditional CDNs alone can no longer handle the growing demand and complexity of content delivery, especially video streaming. Traffic spikes, geographic limitations, piracy risks, deployment investments and soaring energy use expose a fragile and costly ecosystem.

Quanteec complements existing CDN infrastructure, turning this weak chain into a resilient, stable, robust and sustainable one. Our technology transforms imbalance into reliable delivery for platforms, minimizing their worries for scaling to high audiences.

Problems We Solve

Turning Fragile Streaming into a Resilient Network

Capacity Extension

Instead of over-deploying in case of private CDN or going for a multi-CDN approach with all its complications, Quanteec enables on-the-fly capacity extension by 5 times minimum. It is like having 5 CDN providers!

CDN Leeching Fight

Quanteec extends existing CDN security, including A/B watermarking, and brings an additional layer of protection against CDN‑leeching, enhanced with vendor-specific integration (e.g., NAGRA).

Energy Reduction

Reduce server and network usage. Align with Greenhouse initiatives and avoid waste of production and deployment. Save up to 66% of energy, making global streaming more optimized and sustainable.

CDN Costs Savings

Usage: min. 50% savings vs CDN-only solution + no need for multi-CDN. Investments: savings on Capex, Opex and Netex. Unvaluable cost for preventing from failed/poor delivery.

Infra Robustness

Quanteec offloads up to 90% of the CDN traffic when large audiences. It alleviates the load on the CDN and adds a robust layer of delivery to existing infra, preventing crashes and improving QoE.

Peaks Handling & Scaling

When the number of users suddenly increases, the system can automatically scale up its capacity so the service keeps running smoothly. This happens instantly, without requiring new deployments, extra investment, or multiple CDNs.

Geo Reachability

Reach 100% of Internet users, even in regions where CDNs cannot be easily deployed. The web of users created collaborate to feed each other and deploy sufficient capacity.

Network Bottlenecks

All or part of the traffic can be kept inside specific networks, which lowers the costs related to peering, transit, and last-mile delivery. For corporations, this means moving away from bandwidth problems and instead experiencing relief in network capacity (eCDN case)

Big Audience Challenges Turned Into Success

Live - Sports
Roland-Garros 2025
For the 2025 special edition, in addition to regular linear channels, France Télévisions launched dedicated FAST channels to bring Roland-Garros closer to fans everywhere. Hundreds of thousands of viewers connected simultaneously across devices, benefiting from Quanteec’s peer-assisted delivery.

The results were striking: an average 75% offload from CDNs, more than 50% energy savings, and a rebuffering rate several times lower than traditional delivery. This collaboration highlighted how thoughtful architectural choices and real-time edge analytics can ensure a seamless live experience — even under the pressure of a high-demanding event.

The final match, analyzed in this use case, became the most-watched event in the history of france.tv (excluding the Olympics), surpassing even the historic moment when President Emmanuel Macron announced the national lockdown for COVID — making this achievement even more representative.

TN News 2024
In April 2024, Argentina’s leading news channel TN, part of the Artear group, carried out a performance analysis with Quanteec’s peer-assisted delivery. Unlike live sports or entertainment events that generate sharp traffic peaks, a 24/7 news channel presents a constant and stable flow of viewers. This made TN an ideal case to measure how Quanteec operates under regular conditions while still being ready to absorb unexpected surges.

The study showed remarkable results: an average server offload of 78%, with peaks reaching 84%, along with quality and energy metrics surpassing CDN-only model.

This use case highlights how Quanteec enables consistent quality and reliability for continuous streaming environments like news, while generating measurable cost savings. Even without extraordinary audience peaks, TN benefits daily from a more sustainable and scalable way of delivering live information — with the confidence of being prepared for any unexpected spike.

GP Explorer 3: The Last Race
On October 5th 2025, France Télévisions brought the creator-led GP Explorer 3 to broadcast and france.tv. Built by streamers for a young, social-first audience, the event mobilized one of the most engaged communities in France and set a new French record on Twitch, while viewers on france.tv could follow qualifying rounds, the main race on France 2, and a multi-stream setup with 24 onboard camera feeds.

Across all france.tv streams, Quanteec’s peer-assisted delivery maintained smooth playback during audience surges. The event reached an average 86% offload from CDNs with peaks up to 88%, about 62% energy savings, a 0.24% rebuffering rate via Quanteec compared with 1.02% on the CDN path, and a time-to-first-byte of 43 ms via Quanteec versus 102 ms through CDN.

From lights out to the chequered flag, creators shaped the storyline on track: Karchez took the win ahead of Kaatsup and MaximeBiaggi, while Squeezie, forced to retire, symbolically crossed the line last. This use case shows how a record-setting, creator-driven event can be delivered at broadcast grade quality across simultaneous feeds on france.tv.

24H du Mans 2025
In June 2025, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the fourth round of the FIA World Endurance Championship, took place at the Circuit de la Sarthe. A channel from the Sportall network brought the event to its community during the race weekend, one of the most watched moments in endurance racing.

Across the live coverage, several audience peaks occurred. Quanteec’s peer assisted delivery absorbed those surges without compromising the viewer experience. Over the event window we achieved an average server offload of 79% toward Quanteec. Measured time to first byte reached 75 ms with Quanteec vs 192 ms via CDN, rebuffering time was 0.03% with Quanteec vs 0.86% via CDN, and estimated energy savings reached 61%.

This use case shows how Quanteec adds elastic capacity on the fly for premium live sports while remaining CDN and player agnostic, keeping quality steady when audiences spike.
