Tokyo, Japan - January 27, 2026 - Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the cloud solutions provider that powers and protects life online, and Yospace, the leader in dynamic ad insertion technology, today announced the renewal of their agreement with AbemaTV, Inc., the operator of ABEMA - one of Japan's leading online video streaming services that aims to provide TV for the Future. Building upon existing collaborative achievements, this renewal reaffirms the three companies' shared commitment to deliver high-quality, personalised viewing experiences at massive scale.
ABEMA, one of the largest online video streaming services in Japan, boasting over 500 million views per month, uses Yospace's industry-leading Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI), which is powered by Akamai's globally distributed cloud computing platform. This solution delivers smooth, broadcast-quality ad experiences across its live streams while achieving uninterrupted playback alongside the benefits of advanced ad targeting and measurement.
Wataru Fukunaga, Director of Engineering, Business Development Division, AbemaTV, Inc. explains: ABEMA's goal is to provide a combination of TV-like comfort together with experiences unique to online digital channels. Through this technological collaboration between Akamai and Yospace, we are able to deliver broadcast-quality ads optimised to each and every viewer, without breaking their immersion.
Tim Sewell, CEO of Yospace, adds: ABEMA continues to set the standard for premium OTT services in Japan. We are proud to collaborate with Akamai's trusted cloud infrastructure to deliver dynamic, personalised ad experiences at scale to support our customers' success.
As the number of ABEMA's live streaming viewers continues to grow rapidly, scalability and reliability are crucial, says Zak Putnam, Senior Director, Business Development. By combining Akamai's cloud computing platform with Yospace's SSAI technology, ABEMA meets viewer expectations for seamless, high-quality streaming, no matter how many viewers tune in.
This renewed collaboration underscores ABEMA's leadership in Japan's streaming market, leveraging cutting-edge technology to balance monetization, performance, and viewer satisfaction.
Yospace is a member of Akamai's Qualified Compute Partner (QCP) program. For more information about Akamai cloud computing, visit akamai.com/cloud.
