Across the globe, Haivision solutions power a wide range of video streaming applications for enterprise, education, medical, broadcast, and government organizations. Haivision’s growth in EMEA is highlighted by an expanded presence in Germany, home to its European headquarters, sales and technical support team as well as a research and development division. Haivision is also the original developer of SRT that was open sourced in April 2017. This video transport protocol and technology stack optimizes streaming performance across unpredictable networks with secure streams and easy firewall traversal, bringing the best quality live video over the worst networks.
