Delivering the UEFA Champions League Final

On Saturday the 1st of June 2024, System73 delivered the UEFA Champions League Final to viewers across the globe. Over the course of the ninety-minute match, watched by 400 million fans, System73’s live content delivery solution, Edge Intelligence, was able to maintain 90% of all end users on the highest bit rate for their device, ensuring maximum quality of experience (QoE).

The majority of these viewers were located in traditionally hard-to-reach areas where CDN infrastructure is sparse, typically resulting in lower QoE, greater latency and higher delivery costs. Edge Intelligence overcame these challenges by implementing our centrally-orchestrated broadcast tree network, saving our customer 65% in content delivery costs.
