Why we use LiveU for
corporate livestreaming.

Most production companies plug a laptop into the venue WiFi and hope for the best. We don't. Here's what we use instead — and why it matters for your event.

The problem with
venue WiFi.

Here's a scenario that happens more often than it should. A company books a hotel ballroom for their annual conference. They hire a production crew. The stream goes live. Forty minutes in, the venue's WiFi buckles under the load of 300 people on their phones simultaneously, and the feed drops. The remote audience sees a frozen frame or a spinning buffer icon. The moment is gone.

It's not a rare edge case. Venue networks are shared infrastructure designed for general use, not broadcast-grade video transmission. When you add a high-bitrate stream on top of an already congested network, something gives — and it's usually the stream.

This is the problem LiveU solves. We don't touch the venue WiFi. We bring our own connection.

What LiveU actually
does.

LiveU is a bonded cellular transmission system — the same technology used by broadcast news networks for live remote coverage. Instead of relying on a single internet connection, it bonds together multiple cellular connections from different carriers simultaneously.

If one carrier drops a bar, the others compensate. The stream stays stable. Your audience never knows it happened.

The result is a redundant, broadcast-grade connection that works anywhere there's cell service — hotel ballrooms, outdoor venues, conference centers, warehouses, rooftops. If there are bars on a phone, we can stream from it.

LiveU vs. venue WiFi —
the real difference.

LiveU bonded cellular
Multiple cellular carriers bonded — no single point of failure
Works anywhere with cell service — no venue IT dependency
Dedicated bandwidth — not shared with 300 guests on their phones
Broadcast-grade reliability — same tech as live news crews
No IT coordination required before the event
Venue WiFi
Shared network — performance depends on everyone else in the building
Requires IT access, firewall exceptions, and advance coordination
Congestion spikes unpredictably during events
Single connection — if it fails, the stream fails
Not designed for broadcast-grade video transmission

What we stream
and where.

The cellular independence means we can take corporate livestream production to locations that would be impractical or impossible with a traditional WiFi setup. Outdoor product launches, rooftop events, remote facilities, historic venues with poor network infrastructure — none of those are problems when you're not depending on the building's internet.

We configure the stream to whatever platform makes sense — YouTube Live, LinkedIn Live, Vimeo, Facebook Live, or a custom RTMP endpoint — and send you the viewer link well before the event. You can distribute it to registrants, embed it on your website, or post it publicly. No day-of scramble.

How a livestream
actually gets built.

The technology is one part of it. The other part is the production setup around it — cameras, audio, switching, graphics, and a crew that's done this enough times to know what goes wrong before it does.

01
Pre-production
We talk through your platform, audience size, and venue before the shoot. Stream destination gets configured and tested. You receive the viewer link days in advance.
02
Multi-camera setup
Sony FX6 and FX9 positioned for full coverage. LiveU bonded and tested before doors open. Audio checked on every input. No surprises at go-time.
03
Live switching
Cameras are live-switched in real time — your remote audience sees a produced broadcast, not a locked-off wide shot. Speaker cuts, audience reaction, graphics, lower thirds.
04
Recording + delivery
The stream records simultaneously. Edited panel recordings and recap video delivered via Vimeo — same week, ready to republish or archive.

For companies bringing
events to Austin.

If your company is flying into Austin for a conference, summit, or corporate event and you need livestream coverage — this is what the setup looks like. We're based in Austin, we've worked in most of the major venues in the city, and we bring everything we need in the van. No venue WiFi coordination, no IT headaches, no dropped streams.

We also travel. Dallas, Houston, San Antonio — same setup, same crew, same reliability. The LiveU works wherever there's cell service, which is nearly everywhere we'd be shooting.

See our full livestream production service or how we covered Axios Mixing Board Live — a full-day summit with multi-camera coverage and same-week delivery.
