About LiveU
LiveU provides live video streaming and remote production solutions for various sectors, including news, sports, public safety, and government agencies.
The company's core technology is the LiveU Reliable Transport (LRT™), a protocol that ensures high-quality and resilient live video transmission over bonded cellular networks, combining multiple connections (4G/5G, Wi-Fi, satellite) to create a single, robust pipeline. This allows for stable streaming even from remote or challenging network environments.
LiveU offers a range of hardware and software products. Their hardware encoders, such as the LiveU Solo, are portable devices that connect to cameras and other video sources to enable one-touch, wireless live streaming to online platforms. For more complex productions, the company provides multi-camera field units.
On the software side, LiveU Studio is a cloud-native platform for live video production. It allows users to manage video and audio switching, add graphics, and handle remote guest management entirely in the cloud, facilitating remote production workflows. The business model combines the sale of hardware encoders with recurring revenue from their cloud platform and software services.
