"Alltenna"

Alltenna is an online platform developed to provide U.S. consumers with free access to local TV channels via the Internet.

About

Alltenna is a streaming service for viewers who want to watch local television online without extra hardware. By adhering to US broadcasting regulations, it offers a legal and seamless way to access regional news, weather, and educational programming.

Client's Request

The client turned to us with the idea of creating a platform that would bring local US TV channels online, making them accessible for free. The project had to meet several key requirements:

  • DMA-based access control – Users should only be able to stream channels assigned to their location, ensuring compliance with broadcasting laws.
  • High performance and stability – The platform needed to handle a growing user base while maintaining fast and reliable streaming.
  • User-friendly experience – A simple and intuitive interface for easy navigation and seamless content discovery.
  • Scalability for future updates – The system should support new features and enhancements over time.

Here’s What We Did

We developed a solution as a robust and legally compliant streaming platform, ensuring a smooth experience for users. The focus was on stability, performance, and future scalability.

  • Developed the MVP – Launched the first version in autumn 2022, prioritizing performance, stability, and legal compliance.
  • Implemented DMA-based access – Ensured users could only stream channels designated for their region.
  • Optimized platform speed and reliability – Built a smooth, high-performance streaming experience.
  • Ongoing improvements – Continuously enhancing features and expanding functionality for future releases.

Here’s the Result

Alltenna attracted over 10,000 users, proving the demand for a reliable, legally compliant streaming service. The initial version delivered stable performance and smooth streaming, meeting all regulatory requirements. With our expertise in scalable digital platforms, we continue refining and expanding the service to enhance user experience and support future growth.
