We exist to make live truly live
everywhere, for everyone
About Aircast
We were founded with a simple but powerful belief: live should truly be live, everywhere, for everyone. This core conviction motivated us to tackle the biggest challenge in streaming technology — latency — ensuring that audiences experience content in real time without delays or interruptions.
Who We Are
Aircast provides the fastest and most reliable real-time streaming available. With expertise in live events, broadcast engineering, and software development our team have a deep understanding of the challenges that come with live broadcasts. This insight drove us to create Aircast and enrich every fan’s live experience.
What We Do
We eliminate the lag between the action and the audience. With ultra-low-latency video and audio, Aircast ensures that you’re seeing and hearing the game as it happens. No delays. No distractions. Just the immediacy of live, the way live events were always meant to be experienced
Global Scale
Aircast has powered some of the world’s most demanding live events — from international tournaments to large-scale venue deployments. Our platform has been trusted to deliver at scale, ensuring millions of fans can connect to the same moment, at the same time, without compromise.
We believe game day — and live events everywhere — can be reimagined because with Aircast, fans feel part of the action, united in the same heartbeat of live.
