Süddeutsche Zeitung Deploys LiveU At Frankfurt Book Fair

Germany's largest national subscription daily newspaper, Süddeutsche Zeitung, has selected LiveU's technology to provide coverage of the Frankfurt Book Fair on its website.
The paper chose LiveU to deploy multiple technologies: the company's belt-clip uplink unit (LU40-S) and also smartphone and tablet cellular bonding apps.
The newspaper used the technology during the Frankfurt Book Fair, streaming two live sessions. The first was with four SIM cards (2x 3G, 2x 4G) and WiFi. The second stream was with SIM cards only. Both streams offered a continuous 3.6 Mbit/s.
Book authors were interviewed during the event with the content then carried on Süddeutsche Zeitung's online portal.
Zion Eilam, LiveU's Head of Business Operations Europe, said: "Online readers increasingly expect immediate access to live coverage of breaking news. Video is a key tool in the battle for readership, bringing the news to life and enhancing the overall online experience. We're very pleased that our technology continues to be recognised for its strength in this field."
Other newspapers that have selected LiveU technology include Hamburger Abendblatt in Germany and VG in Norway, while El Pais in Spain has deployed LiveU for video services, as has the Telegraph Media Group in the UK.
