LiveU Offers Starlink for News and Sports Broadcast as Clarus Integrated Reseller
The new offering extends LiveU’s connectivity platform, giving field teams access to cellular service and Starlink broadband as a managed service
LiveU is now a Clarus Integrated Reseller, bringing Starlink’s fast, reliable broadband directly into LiveU’s cellular bonding EcoSystem through a single plan for broadcast, sports, and field production teams. LiveU Hybrid Data is the first integrated data plan that provides field teams access to cellular and Starlink broadband for the broadcast IP bonding market.
It’s a shift that reflects how Starlink is being used as a primary connectivity solution across live production: not as a fallback for extreme scenarios but bonded alongside cellular to keep broadcast operations online in remote areas and through outages and disruptions.
With Hybrid Data, LiveU delivers and invoices for cellular data and Starlink in one managed service. Both connections sit side by side in the same workflow, so your broadcast can use cellular and Starlink together in the moment. LiveU serves as the single source for support.
LiveU Hybrid Data will be available for LiveU’s LU300S, LU800, and LU900Q field units, across the United States and United Kingdom.
At the heart of LiveU’s resilient connectivity solutions are two core technologies. LiveU Reliable Transport (LRT™) bonds cellular, Starlink, and other IP connections into a single reliable stream, trusted by more than 5,000 customers worldwide for their day-to-day live transmission. LiveU IQ (LIQ™) continuously analyzes network conditions to dynamically select the best-performing cellular operators for any given location.
“LiveU has always been focused on keeping customers live from anywhere,” said Gideon Gilboa, Chief Business Officer, LiveU. “Crews get a connection that adapts to whatever the field throws at them, a congested stadium, a rural dead zone, a remote shoot with no cell tower in range. But beyond the connection itself, what our customers increasingly want is simplicity: all their connectivity solutions under a single pane of glass – cellular and Starlink broadband as a packaged service – managed and supported by LiveU, through one plan and one point of contact. That’s what Hybrid Data gives them.”
