Paris, France – July 10, 2025 – Ateme, the global leader in video compression, delivery, and streaming solutions, enabled Slovak Telekom to deliver low-latency OTT streaming of the 2025 Ice Hockey Championship – held from May 9 to 25 – across Slovakia and Czech Republic.
As part of the project, Slovak Telekom deployed Ateme’s TITAN Live for encoding, ensuring high-quality, real-time video delivery. Ateme also participated in the packaging workflow using its NEA solution, contributing to a synchronized live streaming experience across all digital platforms. The end-to-end solution enabled latency performance comparable to traditional satellite and DVB-T broadcasts.
“Delivering low latency streaming during a high-profile event like the Ice Hockey Championship was a top priority for us,” said Juraj Matejka, TV Technology Tribe Lead at Slovak Telekom. “Ateme’s technology allowed us to provide viewers with a high-quality, synchronized experience across all platforms, meeting the expectations of today’s live sports audiences.”
“In today’s fast-paced sports environment, delivering broadcast-equivalent latency over OTT is no longer optional, it’s essential,” said Grégory Samson, VP Northern Europe at Ateme. “This deployment demonstrates how Ateme’s low-latency solutions, spanning both encoding and packaging, support operators in meeting real-time streaming demands at scale.”
This implementation reflects Ateme’s continued commitment to helping Tier-1 operators deliver cutting-edge viewing experiences with minimal delay, outstanding video quality, and robust reliability, especially critical during large-scale live sports events.
