InterfereX Communications Pty Ltd, founded in 2011, operated as a provider of specialized data transport services. The company was established by Mark Reed, who also served as its Chief Executive Officer. InterfereX focused on maximizing data throughput and connectivity, primarily for Over-The-Top (OTT) and live-streaming video delivery. The firm's target clients were businesses within the media and information services sector that required robust solutions for live-streaming content.
The core of InterfereX's business was its data transport technology, designed to give clients a technical advantage in the competitive live-streaming market. This technology aimed to address the challenges telcos faced with the massive increase in mobile broadband data by implementing small cell or femtocell solutions to handle the demand. The services supported various DRM formats, operating systems, and browsers, aiming to improve user experience and increase profitability for their clients' streaming services. The business model appeared to be B2B, providing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions to the media and technology sectors.
Financially, the company was privately held and had secured backing from investors, including Dolby Laboratories and ANU Connect Ventures. ANU Connect Ventures, a venture fund from the Australian National University region, was a notable backer, highlighting the company's roots in the Australian technology scene. InterfereX was eventually acquired by Dolby, marking a significant milestone as a trade sale. The company held several patents for its technology, including systems and methods to optimize multipath data transportation and partition data segments for channel encoding. The Australian Business Number (ABN) for INTERFEREX COMMUNICATIONS PTY LTD was cancelled on August 15, 2019, following its acquisition.
