Introducing the Smart Grip for Additional Resiliency and Performance
LiveU SmartGrip LiveU's innovative Smart Grip device holds a chargeable battery and MiFi channel (or any other mobile hotspot), which is bonded together with the smartphone’s internal 3G/4G connection to combine two cellular connections beyond the smartphone, boosting live video transmission time, quality, reliability and performance.

 

LiveU Connect Platform
LU-Smart connects to your existing LiveU receiving server and is incorporated into the LiveU ecosystem by LiveU's unfied management platform, the LiveU Connect, enabling control rooms to manage multiple video feeds from LiveU units operating in diverse locations.
