NEW AND ENHANCED VIDEO SERVICES FROM LIMELIGHT NETWORKS DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL DIGITAL EXPERIENCES FOR CUSTOMERS

Singapore, September
18, 2017 – Limelight Networks,
Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW), a global leader in digital content
delivery, announced enhancements to its Video Delivery Services at IBC
2017 that further improve the performance, quality, and
consistency of digital experiences for customers worldwide.

Limelight’s Video Delivery Services are part of
the Orchestrate Platform and
provide live and VOD media management, packaging, and delivery of
broadcast-quality video to virtually any screen. New features and enhancements
include:

Low-Latency Live Video
Streaming: Limelight will implement WebRTC-based
low-latency live video streaming across Limelight’s global content delivery
network. With Adobe’s upcoming end-of-life for Flash, many content
distributors need to move to a new streaming technology to support live video
streaming workflows. By integrating WebRTC streaming support into the Limelight
Orchestrate Platform, content distributors will be able to easily implement
scalable live video streaming workflows such as gambling, gaming, and sports
broadcasting that require the lowest possible latency. Viewers will be able to
watch broadcast quality live online streaming video as close to real-time as
possible.

Limelight Video
Acceleration: At IBC 2017, the
company will also be featuring its recently introduced Limelight Video Acceleration,
which reduces the delivery latency of standard video streaming formats.
By optimizing the configuration and delivery of HLS and MPEG-DASH media, live
video can be viewed on just about any device with minimum streaming delay.

Integrated DRM Support
for Video Streaming: Through its
partnership with BuyDRM, a leading provider of Digital Rights
Management (DRM) solutions, Limelight will be providing fully integrated DRM
content protection for video streaming on desktop and mobile devices. By
delivering integrated licensing, authentication, and video player capabilities,
Limelight customers will be able to easily implement digital rights management
for their streaming video content without needing to perform complex
integrations or engage multiple vendors.

“Limelight is
committed to helping our customers deliver the fastest and most reliable online
streaming experiences to any device anywhere,” said Nigel Burmeister, Vice
President of Marketing at Limelight. “From massive live multiplayer VR gaming
experiences, streaming the most watched live sporting events to viewers
worldwide, or using video in emerging fields like real-time IoT device
control, Limelight delivers the best low-latency live video streaming
experiences to help companies achieve their most strategic business
objectives.”

Limelight will be highlighting
its new and upcoming enhanced video capabilities and its full video delivery
solutions at IBC2017 in Hall 14 G01.
