Stock Market debut for buffering technology firm

March 27, 2017 11.37 Europe/London By Julian Clover

A company behind technology aimed at eliminating buffering from over-the-top television distribution has made its debut on the London Stock Market.

Falcon has raised £4 million to market the software known as Q-Flow. It intends to license the software to network providers and use it to build Falcon into a vertically integrated OTT business covering technology, distribution and content.

Falcon Director, Gert Rieder, said, “The OTT market has ushered in a broadcasting revolution that has irrevocably transformed the way that millions of people across the globe choose, access and watch multimedia content. Yet until now, achieving seamless streaming has evaded even the largest providers in this explosive market. Through our patented Q-Flow technology, Falcon has the capability to deliver an unrivalled, buffer-free viewing experience to a more demanding audience.”

Quiptel has successfully sold its TV and video platform to the Mongolian telco Mobicom and Canadian ISP Frontline. Mobicom currently relies on Quiptel to power its TV and video platform and Frontline uses Quiptel to deliver over 250 streamed SD and HD channels to its customers.

It plans further international distribution.
