TikTok’s overseas live streaming has become a critical channel for brands to expand into global markets and grow international businesses. However, technical challenges such as network latency, data transmission loss, and content censorship caused by cross-regional operations often lead to live stream freezes, blurry video quality, and other issues, severely impacting the viewing experience. Today, let’s explore the advantages of the TikTok Network Dedicated Line and how it has become the preferred choice for scenarios like cross-border e-commerce, gaming live streams, and virtual exhibitions.

Current Network Challenges in Cross-Border Live Streaming

Traditional cross-border live streaming relies on public internet data transmission, where signals must jump through multiple national operator nodes. Take a live stream from China to Europe, for example: the signal must traverse undersea fiber optic cables and relay through hubs like Hong Kong and Frankfurt. Due to physical distances, the theoretical latency exceeds 300 milliseconds, and during actual use, latency can surge to over 800 milliseconds during network congestion.

How TikTok Network Dedicated Line Solves Cross-Border Live Streaming Network Issues

The TikTok Network Dedicated Line builds a private fiber optic network directly connecting major global cities, akin to creating a “data highway.” For instance, the dedicated line from Shenzhen to Los Angeles uses intelligent routing scheduling to keep latency fluctuations within ±20 milliseconds even during peak evening hours, enabling real-time interaction between hosts and viewers.

In terms of stability, the TikTok Network Dedicated Line employs a dual-link redundancy design, with primary and backup lines in real-time hot standby. During a “Black Friday” promotion, a cross-border e-commerce company used the dedicated line to ensure 15 global live streams remained uninterrupted throughout, significantly improving order conversion rates compared to public cloud services. For regions with weaker network infrastructure, such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East, the dedicated line deploys edge computing nodes, shifting rendering, transcoding, and other computational tasks to edge terminals closer to users, drastically reducing the first-screen loading time for 4K live streams.

Compliance is another major challenge in cross-border live streaming. The TikTok Network Dedicated Line also integrates built-in content acceleration services that intelligently identify sensitive content in live streams and automatically filter prohibited content based on localized compliance strategies. After a gaming live streaming platform adopted the dedicated line, its ban rate due to non-compliant content decreased, effectively ensuring business continuity.

Technologically, the TikTok Network Dedicated Line continuously integrates 5G and SD-WAN technologies. Through 5G network slicing, it provides end-to-end quality-of-service guarantees for outdoor mobile live streaming; the SD-WAN controller dynamically adjusts live stream transmission paths based on real-time network quality. A virtual exhibition platform leveraged this technology to offer low-latency, high-clarity online exhibition halls for exhibitors during the global pandemic, significantly increasing audience interaction rates.
