What is bonded cellular?
CELLULAR BONDING FOR VIRTUAL, HYBRID, AND LIVE STREAM EVENTS
Bonded cellular is the process where multiple cellular internet connections are combined or meshed together using the software so that you get a better internet connection and failover protection. Failover protection is key here because if you are using a single cellular connection and you have any tiny packet loss of data, your stream will likely drop. You can restart it but it is not a great experience for the viewer as you’ll have to ask them to refresh their browser.
If you are in a venue and you can get cellular coverage, you can use bonded cellular to create a robust 5G internet connection. You can buy or rent these products and services at affordable rates (note: affordable if purchasing for multiple events, as a one-off it may still be less expensive than venue internet offerings, but the price to value ratio shoots up when you do multiple events). Consider renting first and see how you like it before buying.
