Multinational tech company Lenovo said that it will deploy an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered infrastructure platform for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026, aimed at significantly reducing latency in Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) video distribution.
In a statement released Thursday, Lenovo said the platform is designed to support ultra-low-latency IPTV delivery alongside traditional cable and satellite broadcast, intelligent content delivery, and mission-critical decision-making across the event ecosystem and operations.
Lenovo said servers will be deployed at the International Broadcast Center in Dallas, Texas, to provide computing power for ingesting, processing, and distributing live match content across FIFA venues.
The company said the platform will help reduce IPTV latency to under five seconds, enabling near real-time access to live match action.
