Making streaming viable everywhere
Video delivery built for constrained networks.
Nilefy delivers reliable live video over everyday mobile connections, on budget smartphones and where data is expensive. You can go live without a perfect connection, and your viewers keep watching where other platforms freeze and buffer.
Everyday connections, on both ends
Go live on 200 kbps or less, no fibre line needed. Your viewers get the full HD experience on fast networks and keep watching down to 200 kbps.
Light on budget phones
Our player is built for low-cost Android phones: no overheating, no crashes and less battery drain, even through a long broadcast.
Local payments built in
Pay with Mobile Money or a card. No foreign payment account needed to get started.
Products

Technology
Built for the networks people actually use.
Most streaming assumes fast fibre and flagship phones. Nilefy keeps video smooth across every kind of mobile network, from the full HD experience down to 200 kbps.
| Connection | Speed | Typical streaming platform | With Nilefy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fast Wi-Fi or 4G | 1.5–2 Mbps | HD | The full HD experience, quick to start |
| 3G or weak 4G | 400 kbps–1 Mbps | Frequent buffering and playback errors | A steady picture with clear sound |
| Congested mobile network | 200 kbps | Stalls or drops the stream | Watchable video that keeps viewers connected |
Nilefy’s low-bandwidth video delivery, its lightweight playback on phones and its adaptive delivery are protected by pending patent applications.
