LiveU has combined its High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) bonding technology with satellite service to create a hybrid live solution. According to LiveU, its LU600 service will automatically choose between cellular bonding and satellite to ensure a reliable, high-quality feed.

LU600 customers can now not only broadcast double the number of hours with the same data using the HEVC encoding, but also have the ability to include a satellite connection (fly away or drive away options) whenever it is desired, without needing a reservation or getting multiple bills from different providers, according to the company.

“Our bundled solution will change the game for our customers by removing any bandwidth concern, simplifying the workflow, and ending billing confusion for data,” said Mike Savello, LiveU vice president of sales in the Americas.
