## Anti-Freeze Tech Survived 12K Concurrent UFC Streams
ShadowTV’s anti-freeze tech uses adaptive bitrate streaming and dual-CDN failover. During UFC 338, it handled 12,340 simultaneous Firestick streams with zero downtime. The system detects congestion spikes – common when prelims end and the main card starts – and switches to a backup node within 0.8 seconds. This prevents rebuffering when traffic surges.
