Case Studies
TOK.tv rolled out a set of innovative Lightstreamer-powered second screen applications. TOK.tv mobile and tablet apps allow up to four friends to talk, get live statistics, and a text commentary while watching sports events on TV.

"Lightstreamer is an extraordinary tool that has been easily and successfully integrated in a short time within TOK second screen technology," said Fabrizio Capobianco, TOK.tv's Founder and CEO. "It offered excellent performance on data delivery, and it concretely proved to scale efficiently both on tests and production."
Rai, one of the most important communication firms in Europe, integrated the Lightstreamer technology in the Rai.tv SocialTV platform. Lightstreamer is currently used to push users’ messages and editors’ featured contents to all concurrent users on the web and on native Android/iOS apps.

This Social TV platform went live to support Sanremo, a popular music competition for unreleased Italian songs. During the show, the audience has been able to discuss the performances and receive texts, videos on-demand, “behind the scenes” footage, and real-time interviews with singers and artists.

"We have chosen Lightstreamer for our Social TV platform, and it proved to be truly valuable," said Espedito Longo, Project Manager at Rai.Net. We managed to integrate the technology both for iOS and Android in a short time, and we are also currently planning to integrate it in Multimedia Home Platforms and Connected TVs."
