The local council of Greenfield planned to host an annual community event, featuring speeches, workshops, and cultural performances. To reach a wider audience and accommodate those unable to attend in person, the council decided to live stream the event online. Their primary objective was to deliver a reliable, uninterrupted live stream that reflected the professionalism of the council’s initiatives.
Streaming live events comes with potential technical challenges, particularly the risk of internet outages or unstable connections. Greenfield’s venue had a standard internet setup, but it lacked the robustness needed for live streaming to a significant audience. To ensure uninterrupted service, a bonded internet solution was required as a fail-safe backup.
Our team provided a comprehensive live streaming setup tailored to the council’s needs. Key components included:
1. Primary and Backup Internet: We deployed a bonded internet connection, which combined multiple networks (e.g., wired broadband and 4G LTE). If the primary connection faltered, the backup seamlessly took over without interrupting the stream.
2. Professional Equipment: High-definition cameras and a streaming encoder ensured crystal-clear visuals and sound.
3. On-Site Technical Support: A dedicated team monitored the stream and internet connections in real-time to address any issues immediately.
4. User-Friendly Platform: The live stream was hosted on a reliable platform, accessible via the council’s website and social media channels.
The event was successfully live streamed to over 2,000 online viewers without interruptions. The bonded internet connection proved invaluable, as a brief dip in the primary connection was smoothly handled by the backup network. Feedback highlighted the stream’s clarity and reliability, enhancing the council’s reputation for innovation and inclusivity.
This case demonstrates how careful planning and robust technology can overcome challenges, delivering exceptional live streaming experiences.
