efficiency antennas covering all sub 6GHz frequencies for 5G and 4G, integrated

Samuel Wasserman, LiveU's CEO & Co-founder, said, "LiveU has always been at the 
forefront of broadcast technology. With 5G rolling out rapidly across major 
cities worldwide, we're more committed than ever to stay ahead of the game. Our 
new LU600 5G solution with integrated 5G modems takes full advantage of the 
faster speeds and guaranteed high bandwidth provided by next generation 5G 
networks." 

Supporting worldwide 5G cellular frequencies, the LU600 5G enables users to 
enjoy all the benefits of the new networks, including lowest delay, the highest 
video quality and resolution, and fast file uploads, even in congested areas. 
The super low latency enabled by 5G is particularly beneficial for live 4K 
sports productions. High-quality coverage continues seamlessly where 5G is not 
available, for example in rural areas or during network build-out. If the live 
production crosses into non-5G areas, the LiveU unit automatically bonds the 
available networks supporting any combination of 3G/4G/5G modems. 

Wasserman continued, "In parallel, we're working closely with leading telecom 
operators worldwide to validate our equipment with emerging 5G networks to make 
maximum use of the bandwidth and other benefits." 

In the US, LiveU and AT&T (

) have teamed up for live news and sports broadcasts, testing the real-work 
impact and performance enhancements 5G technology has on live broadcast video 
production using LiveU units – recently illustrated in a 5G-based production of 
the NBA Summer League. Elsewhere, LiveU is participating in 5G tests and events 
with other leading operators, including Vodafone in Italy and KT Corporation in 
South Korea. Also, in South Korea, LiveU successfully broadcast live to five 
countries around the world the 100th anniversary orchestra tribute to the 
provisional government via SK Telecom's 5G wireless network.

Wasserman summed up, "We've already seen how cellular bonding has largely 
replaced satellite transmission for live news coverage. With the power of 5G, 
the potential is even larger for every type of live sports production."
