About SoFast
SoFast, headquartered in Paris, France, is a global pioneer in FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) channel creation, distribution, and monetization. The company provides a complete end-to-end platform for transforming VOD or live content libraries into fully branded FAST channels distributed across major OTT, CTV, and smart TV ecosystems worldwide.
With its cloud-based tools for content scheduling, ad insertion, SSAI, metadata management, and analytics, SoFast enables broadcasters, rights owners, and telecom operators to rapidly launch FAST channels and reach new audiences while generating additional ad-based revenue streams.
By combining SoFast's global content monetization expertise with PikoTV's regional deployment, integration, and support capabilities, the partnership delivers a scalable, operator-grade FAST solution that bridges the gap between traditional broadcast and next-generation streaming services.
SoFast is a Tech Provider in the FAST TV industry, offering an innovative alternative to the competition. With our end-to-end solution (including Creation and Playout), publishers don't need to handle the technical aspects of their FAST channel. Additionally, SoFast is the only player that provides full distribution, enabling FAST channels to be integrated not only on streaming platforms (OTT, CTV) but also with MVNOs, vMVNOs, ISPs, and Cable TV operators worldwide.
It's no coincidence that in 4 years, we have created over 780 FAST channels and distributed them to more than 220 platforms worldwide.
