TVBS tested leading cellular transmission brands for quality,reliability and cost-effectiveness and LiveU led in every category. Specifically,the LU600 HEVC solution showed greater stability and reliability and the best video quality in low bit-rate transmission conditions. TVBS found that LiveU's backpack has a good design and is very functional,for example,it has the longest battery life of 4 hours and is the only one with a rain cover. LiveU Central,LiveU's unified management platform,also proved to be more intuitive and easier-to-use.
