A Milestone Achievement
One of the standout moments of NAB 2026 was Spaceport being awarded NAB Product of the Year.
This recognition represents more than a single achievement—it reflects our continued commitment to redefining what’s possible Video Technologies. As the industry evolves toward more intelligent delivery models, this milestone validates the direction we are building toward.

Meaningful Engagement at Scale
Throughout the event, the Ant Media booth became a hub for continuous interaction.
We hosted back-to-back meetings with broadcasters, OTT providers, and technology partners from across the globe. More importantly, these were not just introductions—they were in detailed discussions centered on challenges and future opportunities in streaming.
The level of engagement we experienced is a strong indicator of the increasing demand for reliable, low-latency, and scalable media solutions.
Exploring What’s Next: Media over QUIC
At NAB 2026, we placed a strong emphasis on Media over QUIC (MoQ) —a technology that is quickly gaining attention as a next-generation approach to real-time media delivery for broadcasting.
Through live demonstration, we showcased how MoQ performs in comparison to WebRTC, particularly in terms of latency. The ability to achieve comparable latency levels sparked significant interest among our booth visitors about the timeline and also capability.
MoQ represents an important step forward in building more flexible live broadcasting workflows.
AI as a Core Capability
Artificial intelligence is becoming a foundational component of modern media workflows.
During NAB, we demonstrated how Ant Media Server integrates AI capabilities directly into streaming operations as an enhancement. The plugin for AI we built resonated with visitors looking to utilize different AI functionalities within their platforms.
AI is moving from experimentation to essential infrastructure.
A Connected Ecosystem
NAB 2026 Partners
Beyond our own innovations, NAB 2026 highlighted the strength and maturity of the Ant Media partner ecosystem.
Our partners played a key role in demonstrating how our technology extends into complete, and prodcutized solutions:
Raskenlund presented their Scribe and Scotty demos built on Ant Media Server
Mobiotics showcased a comprehensive OTT platform powered by our technology
Syncwords demonstrated advanced AI-based transcription capabilities, while building anticipation for a joint announcement at IBC
Seeing these solutions come together in a partner ecosystem was both rewarding and inspiring.

NAB 2026 reinforced a clear industry direction: streaming is becoming more real-time, more intelligent, and more interconnected.
For Ant Media, this is not just an observation—it is the foundation of what we are building.
As we continue to innovate and expand our ecosystem, we look forward to sharing what’s next in the months ahead—and continuing the conversation at upcoming event of IBC 2026.
