WebRTC and real-time communication

Real-time video, audio and data in the browser — no plugin, no third-party cloud. We design WebRTC architectures from signalling to the SFU and operate them in your infrastructure.

When infrastructure of your own is worth it

For the occasional video call there are ready-made services, and they are cheaper than anything we would build. The case for your own infrastructure arises when the conversation itself is part of your product — a consultation, an identity check, remote support — or when the content must not travel through a third party’s servers.

In practice the second reason weighs more than the first. With health, legal or identity data the question is not whether a provider is trustworthy but whether you can evidence the processing.

Decisions that come up

P2P, SFU or MCU. Two participants talk directly to each other — the simplest and best variant. From three participants on you need an SFU that forwards streams without re-encoding them. An MCU, which mixes everything into one picture, is expensive and rarely necessary.

Plan for TURN, do not hope. In corporate networks a significant share of connections only succeeds through a TURN server. That server relays the entire media stream — the bandwidth most often missing from cost estimates.

Whether you record. Recording is technically the most demanding and legally the most delicate requirement: it needs storage, consent, retention periods and a way to evidence all of it. It should not be decided in passing.

Where the servers sit. With media streams, distance decides perceived quality. A server near the users beats a more powerful one in the wrong place.

What you get

  • The architecture decision: P2P, SFU or MCU, matched to the use case
  • Signalling, TURN/STUN infrastructure, firewall traversal
  • Scaling and load tests under realistic network conditions
  • Recording, compliance and data protection
  • Operation and monitoring of the media servers

How you know it holds

The connection succeeds even from a restrictive corporate network, and you know in what share of cases it went through TURN. Quality stays predictable under load because it was measured beforehand. And the media stream never leaves your infrastructure.
