Berlin-based video streaming technology specialist nanocosmos has announced the launch of its next-generation streaming platform supported by Media over QUIC (MoQ) and WebTransport.
Nanocosmos said its architecture is built for businesses that depend on real-time video for interactive engagement — from iGaming and live auctions to corporate events and virtual engagement platforms. It added that this reflects a broader shift: moving from protocol-level innovation to practical infrastructure that supports new revenue models and audience experiences.
The nanoStream Platform transmits audio and video over the QUIC protocol. Oliver Lietz, CEO of nanocosmos, said that while the IETF MOQT standard is still under development, “we are using our own media-over-QUIC approach (MOQ, not MOQT) to deliver low-latency live streams to enable and improve exciting use cases and bring this technology to our customers.”
The company said MoQ is deeply integrated into the nanoStream ecosystem. Existing workflows remain intact, while the browser-native nanoStream Player enables MoQ-based delivery with zero configuration. Where MoQ is not available, an automatic failover is enabled to ULL-HLS and/or Websocket transport for seamless experiences on any device or network.
“There’s been a lot of noise around MoQ, and rightly so,” Lietz said. “But this isn’t lab tech or future promise. We are following a pragmatic approach solving existing challenges for our customers’ use cases, and unlocking new business models through deeper, real-time audience connections. We’ve built a production-ready platform that puts MoQ to work today. It’s fully integrated, stable, and backwards-compatible with existing workflows, requiring nothing more than a simple player update.”
