Streaming Lab, a well-known media streaming authority followed by OTT, broadcaster, and live-event operators across the Middle East and North Africa, has named EdgeNext its "Tech of the Week" for October 17, 2025. The feature highlights EdgeNext's growing role in powering ultra-low-latency streaming and high-quality media delivery for platforms operating in KSA, UAE, and the wider MENA region.

EdgeNext was recognized for its combination of media-edge engineering and regional footprint, including:

• Low-latency delivery for live sports and premium OTT
• Origin shield to reduce cloud egress and protect infrastructure
• Multi-CDN smart routing for resilience during traffic spikes
• Edge transcoding / JIT packaging to ensure playback stability
• QoS analytics to monitor rebuffering, startup time, and regional performance

"With media consumption surging across MENA, platforms need last-mile performance paired with operational visibility," said Terence Wang, the CEO at EdgeNext. "We're helping streaming providers deliver a smoother viewer experience by keeping traffic local and intelligently routed at the edge."

With established PoPs covering all countries in the MEA region such as Riyadh, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah, Doha, Cairo, and Manama, etc., EdgeNext enables OTT platforms to improve playback quality, reduce buffering, and accelerate viewer startup time across the region.
