Harmonic has released details of how Brazil’s Globoplay video streaming platform is using its technology to enable low-latency live streaming for the 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A – Brazil’s premier football championship.
Powered by Harmonic’s VOS360 Media SaaS, Globoplay can stream top-tier channels, ensuring viewers receive matches in exceptional video quality with minimal delay.
“Delivering more than 300 matches across 38 rounds of Brazil’s foremost football championship requires a technology partner capable of providing broadcast-grade performance at scale,” stated Diego Ramos, Digital Platform Director at Globo. “After thorough evaluation, we chose Harmonic for their reliable low-latency streaming, cloud flexibility, and outstanding DevOps support – all essential to provide fans with an unrivalled live sports streaming experience.”
Harmonic’s VOS360 Media SaaS streamlines every phase of media processing and streaming delivery for this significant sporting event. Globo operates Harmonic’s solution within a public cloud region located near its main operations. This deployment was achieved through collaboration between teams at Globo and Harmonic, covering comprehensive video system adjustments, CDN optimization, and player compatibility, resulting in a seamless and resilient rollout.
“We are delighted to support Globo in redefining how Brazilian football fans engage with live sports,” said Gil Rudge, Senior Vice President, Solutions and Americas Sales, Video Business at Harmonic. “This project underscores Harmonic’s leadership in large-scale live sports streaming and demonstrates our commitment to delivering optimal viewer experiences on any device. With our low-latency, future-ready solution, Globo is establishing a new standard for premium sports streaming in one of the world’s most passionate football markets.”
