Delivering broadcast-quality live video from crowded, constantly changing locations presents major connectivity challenges. During the 2026 men's and women's Tour de France, production company CRD Audiovisuel relied on the LiveU LU900Q with LiveU IQ (LIQ) to expand behind-the-scenes coverage using public cellular networks.
The production captured live interviews, paddock activity, mechanics, race logistics, and exclusive content from stage starting locations, where network congestion and limited connectivity had previously restricted coverage.
The LU900Q intelligent production unit, combined with LIQ's AI-driven connectivity management, automatically selected available cellular networks to maintain reliable transmission. According to CRD Audiovisuel, the solution met 99.9% of its connectivity needs using public 4G/5G networks alone, without requiring private or priority 5G infrastructure.
For broadcasters, sports production companies, and AV integrators, this deployment demonstrates how intelligent cellular bonding and network management can simplify remote production, reduce infrastructure requirements, and support dependable live video transmission in challenging environments.
