LiveU Ltd.

Their core work

LiveU is an Israeli technology SME specializing in live video transmission and streaming solutions, particularly over cellular bonding networks. Within EU research, they contribute their expertise in real-time video delivery to 5G-focused projects, enabling high-quality live broadcasting, media production, and content distribution across mobile networks. Their work spans professional media workflows — from field production to over-the-top (OTT) streaming — and extends into vertical applications like tourism, e-health, and sports broadcasting where reliable live video is critical.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

LiveU's early H2020 work (2017–2019) focused on foundational technologies: edge computing for real-time processing (PrEstoCloud) and broadcast enablers for 5G systems (5G-Xcast), with broad vertical keywords like tourism, e-health, and mobility. From 2019 onward, their focus sharpened significantly toward concrete 5G deployment — field trials, non-public campus networks, professional media production, and KPI validation. The shift shows a clear move from exploring what 5G could enable to actually building and testing end-to-end production-grade systems.

LiveU is moving from 5G research toward deployment-ready live media solutions, with growing interest in non-public networks, campus deployments, and sports/eSports streaming — making them a strong partner for projects bridging 5G trials and commercial media applications.

How they like to work

LiveU consistently participates as a specialist partner, never coordinating but bringing deep domain expertise in live video to large consortia. With 103 unique partners across 20 countries in just 6 projects, they operate within broad European networks and are comfortable in large, multi-stakeholder research efforts. Their role is typically that of a technology provider contributing a specific capability (live video/streaming) rather than driving the overall project direction.

Extensive network of 103 unique partners across 20 countries, built entirely through large 5G-PPP and media-related consortia. As an Israeli company, they bridge EU research ecosystems with a strong presence in ICT and telecom-heavy projects.

What sets them apart

LiveU occupies a rare niche as a commercially successful live video company that actively participates in EU 5G research — they bring real-world product experience (used by major broadcasters globally) into research consortia, rather than being a purely research-oriented entity. This makes them an ideal partner when projects need to demonstrate that 5G media solutions work outside the lab. Their combination of cellular bonding expertise, professional broadcast knowledge, and 5G integration experience is hard to find in a single SME.
