WebRTC Live #67: Reducing Complexity and Latency for WebRTC with Subspace
Wednesday, May 11 at 12:30 pm Eastern.
WebRTC has matured to the point that we can consistently enable real-time communications across browsers with low latency and professional-level reliability. However, WebRTC is only as good as the network architecture supporting it.
Enter Subspace, a parallel network that addresses the underlying issues that can affect latency, jitter, and packet loss. In this episode of WebRTC Live, Arin will sit down with Subspace’s Davide Petramala to better understand how Subspace improves network performance and reduces complexity for WebRTC. Davide will share interesting use cases, such as remote surgery or musical collaboration, where any deviation in performance can be detrimental.

WATCH WebRTC Live #64: Pivoting Back to Hybrid Meetings with Lorenzo Miniero
The impact of the pandemic on the conference business was considerable. Real-time communication companies like Meetecho that had originally provided limited forms of remote participation support to events had to refactor their implementation from scratch, in order to come up with a completely virtual, and scalable, event platform instead. Meetecho’s new platform has been used successfully by several different events, including IETF, RIPE and AIS. Now that the world may be slightly opening up again, conferences will start to include both in person and remote attendance once more. The substantial difference is that the balance of the two will be very different, and more uncertain, than ever before.
This presents some interesting technological challenges that Meetecho has been addressing in view of the upcoming IETF 113 meeting, which will be hosted the first fully hybrid event in the history of the IETF. Meetecho Co-founder & Chairman Lorenzo Miniero will share their experience and lessons learned in this journey there and back again to a more intensive hybrid meeting experience. Lorenzo will also reflect on the upcoming 8th birthday of the Janus media server and the upcoming release of Janus 1.0.
