## G&L Systemhaus develops next-generation streaming platform for the European Parliament

G&L Geißendörfer & Leschinsky GmbH, a leading systems integrator and managed service provider specializing in video and audio streaming, has successfully designed and implemented a powerful and scalable streaming platform for the European Parliament. This platform enables the automated creation and reliable distribution of live and on-demand content to a multinational audience with exceptional efficiency.

## Challenge and solution

The European Parliament required a flexible streaming solution that would allow hundreds of staff members to clip live video during ongoing sessions and share them in multiple languages, including on social media platforms. G&L responded with a modular, hybrid infrastructure that combines on-premises and multi-cloud technologies, ensuring maximum availability and scalability. With hardware-accelerated video encoding, cross-location clusters, and intelligent load balancing, the architecture achieves high efficiency while maintaining environmental sustainability.

## Key features of the platform

- Live streaming with 30 channels and 32 audio tracks per channel
- Distribution via [Akamai](https://www.gl-systemhaus.de/en/partner/akamai-technologies) CDN
- Delivery to social media with up to 200 different destinations
- Energy-efficient encoders utilizing ARM-based CPUs from [Ampere](https://www.gl-systemhaus.de/en/partner/ampere) and ASIC-accelerated
- hardware from [NETINT](https://www.gl-systemhaus.de/en/partner/netint) for real-time transcoding powered by the [Norsk](https://www.gl-systemhaus.de/en/partner/norsk) SDK
- High-availability architecture spanning three customer locations, two carrier-neutral data centers, and two cloud locations within Europe
- Advanced security architecture featuring ISO 27001 certification, zero-trust identity management, and DDoS protection
- Kubernetes-based hybrid infrastructure for flexible orchestration of workloads
- Intuitive clipping tool for tailored global publishing
- Comprehensive observability for streaming performance and user engagement via [Bitmovin](https://www.gl-systemhaus.de/en/partner/bitmovin) Analytics, CMCD-enhanced CDN logs, and visualization via [Grafana](https://www.gl-systemhaus.de/en/partner/grafana) with targeted alerting and scheduled alert routing
- Long-term archiving of all events along with integration of legacy content, managing over 89,000 videos from 21,000 events

## Versatile use cases

The platform enables efficient and interactive use for various actors within the EU Parliament:

- Live broadcasting on the European Parliament’s websites with up to 32 audio channels per stream
- Ring buffer storage with a 7-day capacity
- Social media event subsets: During live streams, social media editors can select specific time segments and languages. For instance, one editor streams the entire event with the original French audio on Facebook, another posts a short clip in Spanish on LinkedIn, and a third shares a different segment in Latvian on X/Twitter. Up to 200 unique combinations can be streamed simultaneously.
- Individual speech subclipping: During live broadcasts, Members of Parliament can clip their own speeches in the desired language and instantly share them on social media or send them as MP4 files.

## Future-proof solution for digital democracy

G&L’s platform enables the European Parliament to broadcast debates, sessions, and events in real time and in the highest quality to a global audience. Designed for future advancements, the architecture is continuously optimized and enhanced with new features
