Big Blue Marble and Ateme Debut Ultra-Low-Latency MoQ Streaming for Live Sports
Vienna-based broadcast and streaming specialist Big Blue Marble announced on July 7, 2026 a multi-month proof of concept for Media over QUIC (MoQ) streaming, combining its Cloud Video Kit with support from Ateme's video compression and streaming technology during a major international football championship. The trial is testing MoQ's performance, scalability and operational readiness for live event streaming, and has already produced the fastest live streaming signal currently available in Austria.
"Our Proof of Concept shows that ultra-low latency streaming is now a reality, delivering the fastest live streaming signal in Austria and proving that internet-native delivery can outperform conventional OTT services," said Johann Mika, Chief Innovation Officer at Big Blue Marble. "Media over QUIC is one of the most promising developments for low-latency streaming and large-scale live event delivery," added Mickaël Raulet, Chief Technology Officer at Ateme. The proof of concept continues through the championship and for several months afterward, with plans to expand collaboration with cloud providers, CDNs and other technology vendors.
