EXA delivers the robust ultra-high bandwidth / low-latency fibre infrastructure which has become a pivotal requirement of the dynamic video game industry.

Immersive gameplay: As online multiplayer games, real-time strategy and augmented reality (AR) gaming rise in popularity, EXA’s ultra-low latency fibre connectivity aids video game publishers and video game platforms in delivering an immersive gaming experience for users supported by smooth gameplay, real-time interaction, and seamless rendering. EXA’s strategic transatlantic asset ‘EXA Express’ offers the lowest-latency transatlantic fibre connectivity available on the market.

Real-time collaborative game development: With its ultra-high bandwidth network, EXA enables the global real-time collaboration of video game developer’ teams, facilitating the transfer of massive files (e.g. game builds / 3D models) - ultimately expediting game development cycles.

AI/ML-driven development: EXA supports video game developers and video game engines to collect and analyse huge quantities of data; crucial for improving game design, enhancing user experience, driving monetization strategies, as well as aiding in the development of machine learning models for non-player character (NPCs) behaviour, and other advanced game features.

Efficient content distribution: EXA supports video game publishers, video game platforms and cloud-gaming platforms in distributing (directly, or via CDNs) vast game libraries, updates and cloud-based games from core locations to edge/cache locations (near to end-customer ‘gamers’) for efficient distribution and high quality ‘console-quality’ cloud-gaming experiences.

Flawless live gaming streaming: With the ongoing rise of e-sports and the increasing demand for real-time game streaming, EXA’s network offers supports video game streaming platforms in delivering lag-free live streams, enhancing spectator experience and engagement.
