FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: server centre for hosting low-latency streaming interactive video includes a plurality of servers that run one or more twitch video games or applications; an inbound routing network that receives packet streams from client devices via a first network interface and routes said packet streams to one or more of said servers. The packet streams include user control input for at least one of the one or more twitch video games or applications, wherein the one or more of said servers is operable to compute video data in response to the user control input; a compression unit connected to receive the video data from the one or more of the servers and output compressed low-latency streaming interactive video therefrom; an output routing network that routes the compressed low-latency streaming interactive video to each client device over a corresponding communication channel via a second wireless interface, connected to the Internet. The compressed low-latency streaming interactive is compressed with the worst to and from signal latency of 90 ms for a transmission distance of up to 2414 km.
EFFECT: shorter latency for transmitting video.
