Company Timeline

2011

The initial core team gathered in 2011 to implement several ideas in media streaming. We had extensive background working for international companies across the globe, with proper experience ranging from high-load web services to resource-deficit embedded software.

WMSPanel control service was released to support Windows Media Services followed by supporting Wowza Media Server to provide rich statistics aggregated from multiple instances, giving customers a unique viewpoint of their viewers.

We chose cloud service SaaS approach with monthly recurring fees model despite the industry’s perpetual-license on-site-installation approach at the time. Over the years we saw the industry following this path.

2013

The first version of Nimble Streamer was released.

The initial idea was to provide the industry with a lightweight media server for edge re-streaming and VOD transmuxing.

Subsequently, Nimble Streamer pivoted and expanded the scope to live streaming processing with extended control capabilities such as pay-per-view and publish control. Nimble core engine became a solid foundation for all new features and products.

2015

Larix Broadcaster mobile streaming application for Android and iOS was released.

2017

As a response to Adobe’s decline of Flash and RTMP playback in browsers, we introduced the SLDP technology to provide last-mile low-latency streaming for end users. Over the years it became a reliable replacement for RTMP.
