To help eliminate the costly telemetry delays that threaten live-streaming operations during massive sporting events, ITV, the UK’s largest commercial broadcaster, used Akamai (NASDAQ: AKAM) TrafficPeak powered by Hydrolix to help safeguard its World Cup 2026 broadcasts. By running TrafficPeak on Akamai Cloud, ITV overcame traditional log latency gaps of 5 to 15 minutes, gaining the real-time observability across its multi-CDN environment required to instantly isolate network bottlenecks and protect critical ad revenues on its ITVX streaming service.
