LiveU has announced a new strategic partnership agreement with DRONERESPONDERS, advancing public safety UAS, cUAS and Advanced Air Mobility.
LiveU highlighted that it used by multiple public safety agencies to bring real-time critical video delivery from drones to the cloud, while providing a common operating picture (COP) to command-and-control centers or individuals in the field.
The partnership is designed to enhance first responder capabilities by integrating resilient, high-quality live video transmission into drone operations for law enforcement, homeland security, emergency management and disaster recovery.
As the “Drones For Good” movement continues to expand globally, the need for reliable, low-latency video feeds from the field to command centers has become mission-critical.
Through this sponsorship, LiveU said that it will support the DRONERESPONDERS Public Safety UAS Alliance in educating agencies on how to leverage IP-bonding technology to overcome connectivity challenges in complex environments.
The collaboration focuses on bridging the gap between aerial data collection and real-time decision-making. By utilizing LiveU’s LRT (LiveU Reliable Transport) protocol, public safety agencies can stream encrypted, high-definition drone footage over aggregated cellular, WiFi and satellite networks, ensuring a stable connection even in bandwidth-congested disaster zones.
Jared Brody, Public Safety Business Development at LiveU stated: “Our mission has always been to support first responders with the most reliable tool sets, in order to get the best common operating picture on the ground or in the air, in real time.
“Partnering with DRONERESPONDERS allows us to directly support the dedicated individuals using UAS technology to save lives and protect communities in a more coordinated way.”
According to the company, the key initiatives of the partnership include:
Jason Day, Deputy Director for DRONERESPONDERS explained: “Real-time video intelligence has become a cornerstone of modern incident command.
“The ability to securely deliver reliable, low‑latency video from unmanned aircraft to command staff in the field and at operations centers is essential for maintaining situational awareness, improving coordination and supporting informed decision‑making during critical incidents.
“A resilient video transport layer ensures that actionable intelligence reaches the right people at the right moment, even in complex or high‑risk environments,” he concluded.
