LiveU Delivers 15,000 Hours Of Live FIFA World Cup Coverage
LiveU has delivered 15,000 hours of live broadcasting coverage during the FIFA World Cup™ in Russia.
LiveU has 485 units onsite used by customers from over 40 countries. The numbers have doubled, and even tripled, since the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ – including over 30,000 live sessions and 36TB of live transmission.
LiveU was able to provide customers with bandwidth guarantees for superior connectivity in the 12 host cities. The offering provided a special add-on priority SIMs package for streaming high-quality live video, enabling customers to reach 20Mbps uplink and deliver HD live feeds even from the most crowded locations. LiveU had a dedicated technical team on site, managing the logistics and providing 24/7 support, with two designated distribution centers in Moscow and St Petersburg. The project was overseen by the company's local partner MediaProject.
Samuel Wasserman, LiveU's CEO and Co-founder, said: "This year's FIFA World Cup has been more successful than ever, also for LiveU, combining our over 10 years experience covering major sporting events with our proven HEVC technology. LiveU's HEVC technology worked flawlessly throughout the tournament, showing its capabilities for live sports coverage in the most challenging conditions. Much of the customer feedback we received highlighted the optimal signal quality in and around the stadiums, as well as our portability and cost-effectiveness."
