9 Distributing on The True Edge: VoddlerNet Server-based networks (CDN) Managed, centralized (One-to-many) VoddlerNet (VNet) Managed Distributed Network (Many-to-one) Unmanaged distributed networks Uncontrolled, decentralized (Many-to-many)

10 VoddlerNet in Action: Playing a movie 1 (3) User has clicked Play-button and node starts collecting metadata from its cluster (and other nodes outside of cluster as needed) for that content, loading the first slices to allow movie to start to play

11 VoddlerNet in Action: Playing a movie 2 (3) Movie is playing, node is getting slices from a stable number of active nearby nodes

12 VoddlerNet in Action: Playing a movie 3 (3) User pauses movie; the number of nodes remains for a while as node buffers content

13 Voddler: QoS Streaming Over-the-Top VoddlerNet, the core module of the Voddlersolution, was designed to solve the bandwidth problem of OTT, without heavy investments in server solutions. It distributes data on the true edge of every network, making use of existing connected devices. Decentralized, true-edge distribution: A small installation on each device makes it work like a small edge server. VoddlerNet invites the users into creating a distributed network; a user generated CDN if you will. Over 1.2 million registered users in Scandi alone. VNet is proprietary and protected by 28 patents, in 2 broad patent families. Developed over 7 years and proven in a live, multi-country service since Vnet has been the subject of significant due diligence AND approval by Hollywood majors. Vnet supports features such as offline viewing and uploads; and works on both high- and low bandwidth Provides unparalleled viewing quality (closeness in distribution allows for higher resolution AND Quality of Service). Cloud based and device agnostic Grows stronger as more people use, thus scalable at all levels: perfect match supply/demand Software-based, no hardware investment needed Works on both fixed and mobile broadband

14 Vnet saves >95% on CDN costs Vnet coexists seamlessly with any CDN Vnet offloads the CDN exponentially: Heavier usage of the service means increased usage of Vnet (but never of CDN) Increased usage thus means immediate cost benefits, as all traffic that Vnet takes over comes at approx 5% of the CDN streaming cost.(*) (*) Voddler benchmark from Scandinavia: >95% traffic handled by Vnet across titles (=95% cost reduction)

15 So VoddlerNet is a CDN? Yes... Vnet outperforms CDN-solutions both in cost efficiency and quality of service. When compared to a CDN, Vnet scales better at all data levels and, in fact, performs better the more users there are. It can be used to augment/supplement an existing CDN-solution. It can be used to replace an existing CDN-implementation...and no As Vnet builds on employing surplus capacity of end-user devices, it depends on customer acceptance: For the end user, there has to be a consumption reason to participate. Vnet therefore does not operate as a stand-alone delivery network it needs to be part of a VOD (or other consumer appealing) OTT service. The consumer-facing OTT service can be Voddler s own solution but can equally well be any other existing OTT service

16 The Voddler Solution Gives content providers and also existing OTT players - direct access to consumers globally, at unprecedented margins. Work with our existing B2C offering or white label the solution for own brand. Apply in full - or integrate only modules, primarily Vnet streaming.
