SES and LiveU have partnered to offer an end-to-end solution for live video contribution and distribution combined with premium content aggregation.
According to the companies, customers looking to broadcast live sports, news and other events from stadiums, sports facilities and remote sites now have access to the most reliable and cost-effective creation and delivery of live video to the widest audience – combining satellite, fibre, IP and cellular capabilities.
One of the first customers who have deployed the joint solution is Oranda Singapore, which broadcasts live sports climbing in South Korea to viewers across EMEA, the Americas and Asia using LiveU’s portable units with SES’ satellite distribution.
Floris Molijn, CEO, Oranda, said, “We are thrilled with the level of quality and flexibility that SES and LiveU have provided in finding a tailor-made solution for Oranda that combined SES’s knowledge, reach and satellite capability with LiveU’s production capabilities to deliver broadcast-quality signals over mobile data networks.
“Bringing it all together required out-of-the-box thinking to turn around a project with very tight lead times, and SES and LiveU provided 100% reliability of signal distribution.”
The fully integrated and turnkey solution based on the latest broadcast technologies gives global customers access to new services and levels of redundancy. For instance, LiveU’s mobile field units for live video transmission from outdoor locations and venues are connected to SES teleports via 4G or 5G.
Customers can instantly aggregate their content in the LiveU Matrix IP cloud live video service, including from LiveU’s mobile field units and through SES’s satellite and IP connections.Global audiences can also be reached via simultaneous access to live video distribution over SES’ global satellite and IP network, and LiveU Matrix’s global customers' endpoints.
