Adeia Inc. (NASDAQ: ADEA) shares hesitated a bit Wednesday, on word some of its top minds have unveiled a groundbreaking new solution that could dramatically improve the quality of online video streaming and gaming. The paper, titled “Selective Enablement of L4S Transport for Latency-Sensitive Multimedia Delivery” has been accepted for presentation at the prestigious IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing.
“This research represents an exciting step towards a smoother, more responsive internet,” said Serhad Doken, Adeia’s chief technology officer.
“We’re eager to continue refining and testing our solutions, with the goal of industry adoption for improved user experiences as soon as possible.”
Adeia’s innovative approach centers around the concept of a special “fast lane” for internet traffic. This fast lane, known as “L4S” (Low Latency, Low Loss, Scalable throughput), is designed to prioritize time-sensitive data like live video streams and online gaming traffic, helping it reach its destination more quickly and reliably.
“Lag and buffering are some of the most frustrating experiences for users of online video and gaming,” said Dr. Dhananjay Lal, Adeia’s vice president of advanced R&D and one of the paper’s authors. “Our proposed solution has the potential to transform these experiences, making them much smoother and more responsive.”
ADEA shares inched back two cents to $11.74.
