In a world where media delivery demands scalability, speed, and precision, Media Over QUIC (MoQ) emerges as a revolutionary protocol to unify streaming workflows. This online workshop, hosted by G&L Systemhaus, brought together experts from Akamai, id3as, and G&L to share insights, discuss challenges, and showcase the latest possibilities of MoQ.

Opening Act: Why we need MoQ

Speakers: Alexander Leschinsky (CEO, G&L), Tobias Drees (Senior Executive Streamologist, G&L)

Alexander set the stage, exploring the limits of today's streaming tech and the need for something transformative. From latency concerns to operational complexities, the challenges of current protocols became evident. Tobias followed up with a thought-provoking breakdown of how MoQ tackles these pain points:

  • Lower latency with scalable caching.
  • Resolving head-of-line blocking for smoother experiences.
  • Prioritizing content intelligently during network congestion.
