Haivision

The business model centres on supplying integrated real-time IP video workflows to professional organisations. Value is created by enabling secure, low-latency video contribution, routing, and distribution across heterogeneous networks for use cases such as broadcast contribution, remote production, corporate IPTV, and mission-critical visual collaboration. The company builds and acquires core technologies (encoding/decoding, contribution protocols, cloud routing, peer-to-peer delivery, visual collaboration) and productises them as hardware, software, and platforms.

Revenue is generated through one-off sales of hardware encoders/decoders and appliances, perpetual or term software/platform licences (on-premises and virtualised/cloud deployments), and ongoing recurring revenue from maintenance, support, and multi-year deployment and service contracts. Acquisitions extend its stack (mobile contribution, AI-based optimisation, OTT delivery, visual collaboration), strengthening the appeal of its platform to broadcasters, enterprises, and government/defence agencies, often sold via direct sales and channel partners.

Haivision is a Canadian public company that provides real-time IP video streaming, encoding/decoding and video networking solutions for broadcast, enterprise, defence, and government customers. Its portfolio includes low-latency hardware encoders/decoders, transport protocols, gateways, and enterprise video/IPTV platforms for live and on-demand distribution over LAN, WAN, internet, and cloud networks.

The company generates revenue from sales of hardware appliances and modules, software and platform licences (on-premises and cloud), recurring maintenance and support contracts, and multi-year deployment programmes, complemented by professional services and channel partner sales. Customers are organisations that need secure, low-latency video contribution and distribution at scale, rather than individual consumers.
