Internet broadcasting services is a fairly new concept in the Indian market, while it is expected to grow $70.05 billion (globally) by 2021.The flood of ‘me too’ service providers tampers the core service provision, leading to short lived results and incomplete procedures.

The omnipresent and glitch free broadcast of IPL 2011, 2012 and 2013 and Facebook broadcasts of Mark Zuckerberg’s visit to IIT Delhi by DUXMedia stands as a testament to the company’s immense credibility.

Assurance of Security
Dealing with such high-profile clients calls for heavy data and identity protection. In case of a limited audience request by the client, the DUXMedia team sets up a custom secure HTTPS and encrypted HTML5 video broadcast, integrating with secure sign-in system and delivering streams inside their network which is protected from public broadcasts. Moreover, its compliance with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting enables it to use a secure satellite uplink system, for intended stakeholders in the defined perimeter. Post streaming, the whole data is drop-shipped to the client, and eradicated completely from DUXMedia’s database. The company’s projects with the Pope in Vatican, The Obama Foundation with President Barack Obama and several national government agencies can vouch for its iron clad security parameters.

Currently, the team is growing together and working towards becoming a one-stop-solutions company for technology and video services in APAC and MENA. “We are currently working on delivering sub-millisecond latency live streams, 360 Degree VR live streaming and introducing 4k resolution live streaming that can improve streaming multi-folds. Soon we will develop our own streaming media platform for people to use as a product,” concludes Supreet.
