Cloud content management system utilizes distributed database technology to create seamless streaming experiences everywhere customers demand

Edison Interactive (EI), the leader in connected device ecosystems, announced its platform’s content is now faster with nearly no latency thanks to a collaboration with distributed database platform HarperDB. This partnership enables EI to deliver its premium content to customers in hard-to-reach places with a reduced API call latency of ten milliseconds, a fraction of the previous time.

HarperDB’s decentralized database capabilities have been especially compelling in the case of EI’s work on Shark Experience presented by Verizon, a product equipping golf carts with digital displays exclusively available through Club Car. The platform offers music streaming, live sports tickers, dynamic yardage, and other infotainment to golfers throughout their round. With many golf courses in remote locations, reliable connectivity can be a challenge, ultimately limiting a course’s ability to enable live content streaming. Now, thanks to Edison’s incorporation of the HarperDB framework, Shark Experience enables courses and golfers everywhere to enjoy premium content without any latency issues.
