Our technology does what no CDN or video-platform provider can do: it gets your Internet video content onto TVs and computers—with no additional hardware, while keeping you in control of your brand, your content, and your revenue model.

The Global Media Services difference.

GridNetworks was founded in 2005 with a single-minded purpose: to use the power of the Internet to remake the way we watch television. The Internet has given viewers the ability to watch what they want, when they want—but it still hasn’t allowed them to watch video where they want. That also means that media companies haven't been able to monetize Internet video in the same way as television, with its stickiness and multiple viewers per screen.

GridNetworks is bringing Internet video to TVs and computers while maintaining a broadcast-quality viewing experience. Our GridCast service was built to achieve this ambitious goal—and we set the bar high, from the first line of code.

To this day, GridNetworks still offers the only service that lets you provide what 94% of your viewers want* Internet video on the TV—and on computers.

Our technology is different in three important ways, which no CDN or video-platform provider can match:

  1. We can get your Internet video onto TVs and computers (both PCs and Macs) without requiring additional hardware from your viewers.
  2. We are a delivery and access solution. That means you keep control of your content, your brand, and your revenue model, so you can make money using the most effective approach for you.
  3. We can scale to help you reach a very large audience while maintaining a high-quality viewing experience.

GridNetworks technology also employs a forward-looking, open-standards approach—so our technology is easy to use and easy to work with, both now and in the future. We’re built to grow with you, and we will help you grow your revenue and business.
