The new innovation, called LiveU IQ (LIQ), enhances connection reliability and performance, specifically for mobile network-based video production.

Dynamic Network Switching with LiveU IQ

LiveU IQ utilizes AI, eSIMs, and a hybrid local and cloud-based data approach to automatically switch between mobile network operators. This feature ensures that the best performing cellular connections are used at any location. Unlike traditional cellular bonding setups where modems may be stuck on underperforming networks, LiveU IQ dynamically switches to the highest performing networks in real-time.

Improved Cellular Connectivity for Field Production

LiveU IQ enhances the existing LiveU field encoders by enabling intelligent bonding. It ensures that video production teams always benefit from the best available cellular connectivity, regardless of their location, even in challenging environments such as rural or congested areas.

Leveraging Big Data for Reliable Video Transmission

The new system builds on LiveU’s LRT protocol by merging IP connections into a more stable, higher bandwidth link. LIQ further improves this by using big data from network activity logs, ensuring the cellular components are always optimally configured.

Three Core Elements of LiveU IQ

According to LiveU’s Chief Product Officer, Gideon Gilboa, LiveU IQ includes three main components: universal eSIMs that work with any operator, a cloud-based decision engine that analyzes network performance, and LiveU Analytics, which shows customers how dynamic network switching improves performance.
