In a statement, Limelight CEO Bob Lento, said, “By combining the lowest latency real-time video streaming and data, Limelight is making online viewing experiences more interactive. Limelight’s R&D team has solved the complex problem of delivering sub second latency live video and data, globally, at scale. This integration opens up a world of possibilities for how viewers can interact with each other and with content distributors. Many industries can benefit from this capability, and we expect to see a new generation of immersive, low latency, content-rich applications driven by Limelight Realtime Streaming.”

Limelight isn’t the only one that thinks its WebRTC streaming could be a game changer. Lukas Seiler, managing director of Audiovisual at SportRadar, a leading global provider of sports data intelligence, said: “With Limelight’s new service, we can provide reliable, high-quality, real-time video streaming to viewers anywhere in the world.”
Since WebRTC is open source, I expect other CDNs to follow Limelight’s lead. This means that, perhaps just in time for March Madness 2019, we will be able to stream the games in real time.
