LiveU has deployed significant technical and human resources to support broadcasters during the 2024 US presidential election, enabling continuous live coverage for media organizations around the world.

The company established a dedicated Election Day task force of more than 20 staff members who monitored feeds and provided technical support through a virtual command center for more than 15 hours. The support infrastructure included on-site engineers at both candidates’ campaign locations and 24-hour phone and email support.

“During this unprecedented U.S. presidential election, we provided extensive coverage with multiple LiveU units deployed in different regions across the United States, providing nearly 48 hours of non-stop coverage during and after election night, for our customers throughout Europe, including Italy,” said Luca Rovinalti. , CEO of Svet Solutions Media.

Production companies including BC Live Productions, Broadcast Management Group and Svet Solutions Media coordinated live coverage for international broadcasters in several European countries.

The technical configuration included:

• HEVC and H.265 transmission field units
• LU-Net 5G keys
• Mobile production capabilities
• Remote assistance systems

Broadcasters deployed LiveU’s LU800 and LU300 field units with HEVC/H.265 video encoding technology at polling locations and campaign sites. The units integrated into LU-Net 5G dongles to maximize bandwidth and ensure transmission stability. The company’s cloud-based routing platform, LiveU Matrix, enabled content sharing between broadcast partners, while LiveU Central provided remote management capabilities for field units. The portable units, which fit into a backpack, have allowed camera operators to transmit broadcast-quality video without a satellite truck or traditional microwave equipment, reducing operational costs and increasing the mobility of news crews.

Technical teams faced numerous broadcast obstacles when covering the elections.

Support staff worked to maintain signal stability at remote polling locations where cellular coverage was limited. In densely populated areas, particularly at campaign headquarters and vote counting centers, network congestion required active bandwidth management. The support team provided backup hardware when core systems encountered issues and managed access to features across multiple delivery points to ensure consistent coverage. This technical coordination allowed broadcasters to maintain uninterrupted live broadcasts throughout the election cycle.

The broadcast infrastructure supported the delivery of content to several international markets, including: Czech Republic, Italy and Spain.

The mobile production approach eliminated the need for traditional live production equipment while maintaining broadcast quality for international transmission.
