Ultra-low latency streaming engine supporting WebRTC, SRT, RTMP, HLS
A scalable media server delivering sub‑0.5 s WebRTC latency, adaptive bitrate, and multi‑protocol support for live broadcasting, telehealth, e‑learning, and interactive video applications.
Ant Media Server is a Java‑based media platform that provides sub‑0.5 second WebRTC latency while also supporting SRT, RTMP, RTSP, HLS, CMAF, and H.265/HEVC. It targets developers building real‑time video experiences such as telehealth consultations, virtual classrooms, live sports, and interactive auctions. The server offers adaptive‑bitrate streaming, recording, and token‑based security, with SDKs for iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter, Unity, and JavaScript.
The product can be installed on‑premises via Linux scripts or deployed to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) using 1‑click marketplace images, Docker containers, or Kubernetes manifests. Auto‑scaling guides and CloudFormation templates enable rapid scaling from a single classroom to a global live event.
A free Community Edition provides core streaming capabilities, while an Enterprise Edition adds advanced features, professional support, and a 14‑day trial. Both editions are backed by an active GitHub community and documentation portal.
When teams consider Ant Media Server, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
