The partnership is centered on enhancing the connection between aerial intelligence gathering and rapid operational decision-making. Using LiveU’s LRT™ (LiveU Reliable Transport) technology, emergency response teams can securely stream high-definition drone footage through combined cellular, Wi-Fi, and satellite networks. This approach helps maintain reliable connectivity even in areas experiencing network congestion during disasters or large-scale incidents.
“Our focus has always been on equipping first responders with dependable tools that deliver the clearest possible operational picture in real time, whether on the ground or in the air,” said Jared Brody, Public Safety Business Development at LiveU. “Working alongside DRONERESPONDERS gives us an opportunity to further support professionals using drone technology to protect lives and strengthen community safety through better coordination.”
Major Areas of Collaboration Educational Initiatives: LiveU will join DRONERESPONDERS webinars and participate in the UNITE (UAS National Initiative for Training and Education) program, sharing expertise on effective live-streaming practices for public safety operations. Technology Demonstrations: LiveU plans to showcase its portable encoder solutions, including the LU-REQON1™ and LU900Q, integrated with leading drone platforms at major industry events such as OHCON, NCCOM, CALCON, and TEXCON. Supporting Public Safety Communities: The company will also contribute to DRONERESPONDERS’ nonprofit mission of advancing drone and related technologies to improve officer safety while helping communities become safer and more resilient. “Our focus has always been on equipping first responders with dependable tools that deliver the clearest possible operational picture in real time, whether on the ground or in the air,” said Jared Brody, Public Safety Business Development at LiveU. “Working alongside DRONERESPONDERS gives us an opportunity to further support professionals using drone technology to protect lives and strengthen community safety through better coordination.”
Jason Day, Deputy Director of DRONERESPONDERS, emphasized the growing importance of live video intelligence in emergency operations. He noted that securely transmitting dependable, low-latency drone video to command personnel in both field and operations centers plays a crucial role in maintaining awareness, improving coordination, and enabling informed decisions during high-pressure incidents. He added that resilient video transport systems ensure critical intelligence reaches the right teams at the moments it matters most, even in challenging or high-risk situations.
