Transmit Certified By FreeWheel As SSAI Provider

FreeWheel, a global technology platform for the television advertising industry, today announced that it has officially certified Transmit, a market leading technology platform that maximizes the revenue of streamed content, as a server-side ad insertion software provider in this sector.

Transmit, in particular, was awarded this certification for meeting FreeWheel’s industry guidelines and best practices for this program. One noteworthy point: The company is also the first to be certified in the picture-in-picture advertising sector. (This refers to the capability to serve ads within a smaller screen while other programming or content is running simultaneously on a larger screen within the same platform, whether it be the big screen, on a desktop or mobile.)

This synergistic collaboration between FreeWheel and Transmit “helps pave the way for even more streamlined, efficient and effective ad insertion solutions that cater to the ever-evolving needs of the media and advertising world in the future,” FreeWheel says.

Transmit, known for its server-side ad insertion technology, is an end-to-end monetization solution empowering distributors to create new in-stream inventory, fill traditional ad breaks and produce more effective ad pods. With Transmit’s server-side ad insertion technology, media operators “can expect higher engagement rates, reduced latency and an enhanced viewer experience,” the company says.

FreeWheel says it launched this new industry certification initiative “to highlight the importance of compatibility, interoperability and ease of use when it comes to ad insertion in today’s TV ad ecosystem.”

“Our mission has always been to set industry benchmarks and deliver unparalleled service to our partners,” says Seth Hittman, Transmit founder-CEO. “Being recognized and certified by FreeWheel, a true leader in the advertising tech space, is a testament to our team’s relentless pursuit of excellence. It reaffirms that our technology is not just advanced, but also versatile and compatible across the many different platforms in today’s TV ad landscape.”

Matt Clark, FreeWheel VP, strategic partnerships, said: “Transmit’s technology has demonstrated top-notch compatibility with our platform. As the industry continues to evolve, it’s crucial for us to collaborate with partners like Transmit who are at the forefront of driving interoperability. This certification acknowledges our commitment toward efforts that improve the viewer experience and the value we may collectively bring to the entire advertising ecosystem.”
