The metaverse
We entered the ‘metaverse’ or ‘virtual worlds’ space via Linden Lab’s Second Life, initially in 2005, establishing an active business presence in 2006. Our aim is simple; provide an affordable, easy-to-use and highly available service. Today our audio streams are relied upon by many hundreds of DJs, musicians, venues, speakers, comedians and more and not just throughout the vibrant landscape of Second Life either as we now serve many customers across OpenSim based grids as well as the wider metaverse and beyond.

A great team
Having the right team is a great recipe for success and ours is dedicated to delivering our shared goals. After over 16 years, we know it works, but of course there is always room to learn and to grow. We move with the times and we have some great ideas for new products and services.
Our principles
We believe in keeping things simple. A robust, reliable solution, backed up by an experienced team with a passion for delivering a great customer experience.
Infrastructure
We utilise modern Intel based servers, hosted within environmentally friendly data centres using renewables and innovative water based cooling systems to reduce overall power usage.
Our network provider offers more than 20Tbit/s of global network capacity.
The cloud
Whilst we still maintain physical servers for some of our older streaming technologies, we have moved much of our infrastructre to the cloud in recent years. These efforts will continue over the next few years as we launch some new and innovative services and products.
