Everything You Need to Launch and Monetize FAST Channels In One Platform

EPG & Linear Scheduling

Smart TV ecosystems such as Samsung and Roku require accurate EPG metadata for FAST distribution. Manage scheduling, programming, and real-time EPG updates directly inside your OTT CMS.

EPG & Linear Scheduling

SSAI & CTV Ad Integration

Server-side ad insertion delivers seamless, blocker-resistant advertising directly inside the stream. Combined with CTV advertising support, this creates higher-value monetization opportunities than traditional client-side AVOD ads.

SSAI & CTV Ad Integration

Multi-Device Delivery

Deliver FAST channels across smart TVs, mobile apps, desktop platforms, and STBs from a single OTT platform without managing separate infrastructures.

Multi-Device Delivery

Channel & Ad Analytics

Track channel performance, ad fill rates, viewer sessions, watch duration, and revenue alongside your existing VOD analytics.

Hybrid Monetization Stack

Manage FAST, AVOD, SVOD, and TVOD inside one centralized OTT CMS without switching between platforms or monetization tools.

CDN + P2P Delivery

Linear streaming at scale increases delivery costs. Hybrid CDN and P2P distribution helps maintain stable performance while reducing bandwidth expenses as channel count and concurrency grow.

AVOD + FAST in One Platform

Why choose between FAST and AVOD if you can have both?

Running both AVOD and FAST creates two distinct viewing environments for your audience. One chooses on-demand content. The other leans back into scheduled channels.

AVOD

On-demand, viewer-led

The viewer decides what to watch and when. Revenue comes from pre-roll and mid-roll ads tied to specific content.

  • Active intent — viewer searches and selects
  • Younger, mobile-first audience
  • New titles drive most of the views
  • Sessions end when the content ends

FAST

Linear, always-on

Content runs on a schedule. Viewers tune in and let it play. No browsing, no decisions, no drop-off between titles.

  • Passive intent — lean back, let it run
  • CTV and Smart TV audience
  • Archive content performs as well as new content
  • Sessions extend across the schedule

Built For Any Operator Running a Streaming Business

FAST is not a platform you build from scratch. It's a monetization layer added to a streaming business that's already running. If you have content, you have what you need to launch.

ISPs & IPTV Operators

You already deliver live TV. Add FAST channels as a free, ad-supported layer inside your OTT app to increase ARPU, improve bundling, and reduce churn without investing in new content licensing.

Pay-TV & Cable Operators

FAST channels help keep audiences inside your ecosystem across smart TVs, mobile devices, and web platforms — without relying on traditional set-top boxes.

Broadcasters & Media Companies

Turn existing archives and underused content into scheduled FAST channels that generate continuous ad revenue without additional production costs.

OTT Platforms Running AVOD

Your platform already monetizes on-demand viewing. FAST opens a second ad inventory stream using the same content library, inside the same OTT ecosystem, without switching platforms.
