Hive Video Optimization improve the viewing experience, using predictive CDN pre-fetching technology with patented software-only, zero-configuration algorithms. Data are distributed via P2P, balancing bandwidth load across all connected employee computers, and maximizing reach and quality of live and on-demand video for the entire organization.
Guarantees stable, high-quality video through network offload, extended buffer & CDN pre-fetching technology
Self-learning algorithms rely on existing network capacity without requiring additional capital investment
Scalable, with efficiency increasing in proportion to viewer growth
Unobtrusive, transparent to the end-user
Real-time, interactive reporting
Pure software-based solution deployed via standard deployment methods, no hardware needed
Integrated with leading enterprise video streaming platforms
How it
Worksworks
When users begin viewing video, Hive technology automatically detects the optimal path to video content
Viewers on the same network share, between each other, the video stream rather than downloading individual streams, significantly reducing Internet ingress traffic
Stream content is shared on the internal network among viewers devices via a dynamic, self-learning P2P mesh network
Viewers can The customer can choose to have their viewers benefit from Hive Streaming eCDN via modern web browsers (no additional software installation needed) Installable or install the Hive Agent may be deployed to support more advanced use cases, including support for legacy web browsers , and site-specific requirements and .
Silent Testing is supported with both options the Hive Plugin or the Hive Agent.
Hive-supported endpoints (browser and devices (Hive Plugin or Hive Agent) connect to hosted cloud-based web services for authentication, connection setup & reporting

Browser-based video distribution with HIVE Plugin
Hive Plugin is Hive Streaming‘s advanced browser-based video distribution technology.
No installation required, get started quickly
Support for live and VODCan be enhanced
Works with all modern HTML5 browsers
Works in combination with the Hive Agent (see section below)
Customize service behavior including throughput management for bandwidth-limited sites
Can be piloted using Control The Event
Supports low latency
Is 100% compatiable with mobile devices
Is suitable for any “Modern Workplace” environment
WebRTC uses SRTP for encryption and we add AES 256 GCM which is a highly desired benefit in Wifi networks
Hive Agent
The Hive Agent, an optional installed software, enables more advanced use cases, including Fast features such as fast peer discovery, Persistent persistent logs, Hive Silent Testing, custom network configurations and support for non-WebRTC compliant browsers.
Deployable by an IT department via Compatible to be deployed via a standard software deployment tools like SCCM or Intune
Runs unobtrusively in the background, consuming only minimum CPU resources
Unified Peering, Enhance the Hive Plugin solution by adding methods that are not available while using a webapp only, like faster peer discovery process and log persistence.
With Silent Testing, simulate live video events without requiring user involvement, detecting problems before they occur
Support for The Hive Agent uses WebRTC as transportation protocol making it compatible to work together with the Hive Plugin giving the customer the possibility to work with a mix deployment but keeping peering unified.
Can however support non-WebRTC compliant browsers and networks (Note: in this use case the installation is NOT optional)Requirement: Installed Hive Agent, it does not work with the Hive Plugin)
Resolving mDNS addresses into IPv4 to always enabling site matching and peering between subnets
The Agent is a java application and all Java libraries needed are included already in the installer and therefore no JRE / Java environments will be needed.
