nanocosmos, a German streaming technology provider, has announced a significant enhancement to its real-time video platform. This upgrade introduces a Media over QUIC (MOQ) solution, promising sub-second latency for applications such as gaming, live betting, auctions, and corporate events.
The Berlin-based company is demonstrating this technology at IBC 2025 in Amsterdam from September 12-15. The new platform integrates MOQ across its entire content delivery network (CDN), not just at the playback stage, ensuring end-to-end delivery with latencies below 500 milliseconds. nanocosmos claims to be the first CDN provider with global MOQ/WebTransport capabilities. “MOQ is superior to WebRTC in terms of video quality, stability and flexibility and we are proud to introduce the first MOQ-based real-time streaming solution on a CDN foundation that is ready for worldwide deployment,” said Oliver Lietz, CEO and founder of nanocosmos. “With more than 25 years of experience as an innovation leader with technology made in Europe, we are once again demonstrating the great potential of European development work in global competition.”
For a decade, nanocosmos’ platform has been designed for ultra-low latency, large-scale, one-to-many live streaming using its H5Live technology. It caters to businesses where minimal latency is critical, including gaming, sports betting, live auctions, stock trading, live commerce, corporate communications, education, and large-scale virtual events. The company's achievements have been recognised with the “Realtime Streaming Solution” award at this year’s Streaming Media European Innovation Awards for its nanoStream service.
The new MOQ platform is a turnkey solution, encompassing ingest to playback. By combining QUIC, WebTransport, and HTTP/3 with nanocosmos’ existing infrastructure, it enables real-time distribution across over 1,000 CDN nodes globally, with native browser playback even in challenging network conditions. At IBC, nanocosmos is providing live demonstrations at stand 5.A34. CEO Oliver Lietz will also present twice on the Content Everywhere Stage, highlighting MOQ's role in next-generation video streaming and real-time platform deployments. Furthermore, a “MOQtail Boat Party” is scheduled for Sunday, September 14, co-hosted with MOQ expert Ali Begen, founder of the MOQtail project.
