SVG On Demand: Aspera’s Mike Flathers Explains FIFA World Cup Video-Transfer Tech

Company CTO shares the details behind massive scale of global video transfer

Aspera’s video-streaming software built on top of its FASPStream protocol has rapidly become one of the industry’s go-to sources for video transfer at scale. And there’s perhaps no bigger scale than the FIFA World Cup.

During NAB Show New York this month, Aspera CTO Mike Flathers stopped to chat with SVG’s Jason Dachman about Aspera’s major behind-the-scenes role in Fox Sports’ coverage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup and gave us the latest on what the tech company is up to.

Aspera served as title sponsor for SVG’s recent TranSPORT event on Oct. 16 in New York City.
