LiveU has demonstrated cutting edge technology and services that enable high-quality live video broadcasts from anywhere to the Internet at highly affordable prices.

 

Based in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, and with an R&D center in Kfar Saba, Israel, LiveU is a privately held company and is backed by top tier U.S.-based and international investors.

LiveU technology is particularly relevant to Internet portals that may currently be unable to provide live coverage to their audiences due to the relatively high pricing of existing solutions.

The service provides a mobile live-video uplink solution that works with any type of video camera to provide reliable video that is not only high quality but that also offers immediacy of service and availability and portability, all at a low price.

“ONE” (one.co.il), a sports portal in Israel, has been using the LU service extensively.

"We were amazed at the video quality and ease of use of LiveU’s systems," said Udi Milner, CEO, “One Sports Portal”.

"LiveU’s technology allows us to broadcast high-quality video at prices that are entirely in-line with our own business models. This system turns us into a real TV channel, capable of broadcasting live events as they happen."

In April, LiveU announced the commercial availability of the LU product line, a service that lowers uplink prices while keeping video high quality, to allow broadcasters to increase the number of live events covered from different places.

 

The LU product line uses any existing cellular / wireless infrastructure to provide mobile video uplink (up to 2Mbps) as well as hi-capacity file transfer solutions for a wide range of applications, from breaking-news on Broadcast TV, through to hyper-local sporting event coverage on Web Portals.
