Building Scalable OTT & FAST Streaming Platforms for Africa and Beyond

As video consumption continues to shift from traditional broadcast to digital streaming, businesses across Africa are increasingly looking for custom OTT (Over-The-Top) platforms that give them control over content, revenue, and audience growth. This is where Commec comes in.

Commec is a technology and media solutions company specialising in the design, development, and deployment of OTT and FAST streaming platforms tailored for African and emerging markets. From mobile and web to Connected TV (CTV) and hotel deployments, Commec builds platforms that are scalable, monetisable, and future-ready.

What Commec Does

Commec is not just a software vendor, it is an end-to-end OTT development partner. The company works with content owners, broadcasters, media houses, religious organisations, educators, and brands that want to launch their own streaming platforms.

Commec’s OTT solutions include:

• Custom OTT apps (Android, iOS, Android TV, Fire TV, Roku, Vidaa, Tizen, WebOS, STB)

• FAST channel infrastructure (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV)

• AVOD, SVOD & hybrid monetisation models

• Ad tech integration (Google Ad Manager, AdX, SSAI readiness)

• DRM, analytics, and audience insights

• Africa-optimised streaming architecture

Every platform is built with ownership and flexibility in mind allowing partners to control their content, data, and monetisation strategy.
