Scalable WebRTC Broadcasting Platform for Large-Scale Live Streaming

The client operates a legacy WebRTC streaming portal built over a decade ago, which struggles to support expanding global audiences efficiently. Performance issues such as high latency, resource constraints, and rising infrastructure costs hinder delivery of seamless live broadcasts to large audiences. The client seeks to redesign and modernize their platform to ensure scalable, low-latency streaming while optimizing operational costs.

A large-scale telecommunication provider aiming to deliver high-quality live streaming and broadcasting services to enterprise clients and content providers.
