Hyperlocal

Hyperlocal Edge is a solution designed to optimize network performance during events or similar situations. It provides edge egress on a local network for your channels, thereby helping to avoid saturating the public network. This ensures smooth streaming and reduces latency, enhancing the user experience.

To set up a Hyperlocal Edge, you need to contact us so we can provide you with the necessary software. Once you have the software, you can install it on the server in your local network and configure it to work with your Vindral account.

Hyperlocal Edge Settings

You can see your hyperlocal edge setup in the Vindral Portal. Simply navigate to your organization settings and find the "Hyperlocal" tab.

Hyperlocal Api Key

The API key is used in the configuration of each hyperlocal edge to enable secure communication with the Vindral API.

Verify Hyperlocal Edge

To verify that your Hyperlocal Edge is working correctly, you can start a live stream on the organization that has the Hyperlocal Edge configured. You can then open the Vindral QoS player and check the "Edge URL" field in the "Connection" section. If the Hyperlocal Edge is working correctly, the URL should match the one configured in the Vindral Portal.
