SuperSoccer, an Indonesian sports aggregator, has chosen Harmonic's (NASDAQ:HLIT) VOS 360 cloud media processing service for streaming live soccer matches, including Serie A Italian league games, over the Internet to subscribers in Indonesia. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution is hosted in the public cloud and maintained and monitored by Harmonic. Today, the operator is streaming more than 60 live soccer games a month in HD.

"Being a relatively new OTT operator, we were looking for a video infrastructure solution with little to no CAPEX investment. Video quality and ease of use were also key priorities," said Mirwan Suwarso, director at SuperSoccer. "The VOS 360 cloud service handles the entire workflow for our live OTT service - including ingest, transcoding, packaging and delivery - enabling our technical staff to focus on improving the app delivery experience for audiences. We especially love the flexibility that the VOS 360 service provides, in terms of allowing us to control multiple profile bit rates and video quality to ensure the best possible live streaming experience for our customers."

In addition to supporting live streaming, the VOS 360 service enables games to be available for seven days as catchup TV.
