Haivision has integrated its CellLink 5G external modem and antenna array with the Makito ONE video platform to enable bonded cellular contribution. The update allows broadcasters to combine Ethernet and multiple 5G paths using the SST protocol for resilient live remote production.
This integration provides broadcasters with a more resilient path for high-bandwidth 4K contribution by mitigating the risks of single-link failure during live events. By bonding multiple 5G connections with traditional Ethernet, Haivision is addressing the growing demand for decentralized production workflows that require fiber-like reliability over public networks. This move strengthens the Makito ONE position against specialized mobile transmitters by offering a unified encoder-decoder solution for both fixed and mobile environments. Watch for real-world performance data and latency benchmarks to emerge following the platform's live demonstrations at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam.
The Makito ONE platform's focus on low-latency transport complements recent cloud-native live sports production initiatives that rely on high-performance hardware to bridge the gap between remote field capture and centralized studio processing. As broadcasters adopt hybrid infrastructure models, the ability to integrate bonded cellular into existing IP workflows becomes a critical component for field flexibility. Broadcasters are also exploring standardized CAMARA APIs to further ensure network performance in these mobile environments, a trend further highlighted as software-defined production matures.
Haivision has integrated the CellLink 5G external modem into its Makito ONE video platform, enabling bonded cellular contribution. By combining Ethernet and multiple 5G paths via the SST protocol, broadcasters can achieve fiber-like reliability for 4K and HDR workflows, significantly reducing the risk of transmission failure during live remote productions.
The integration allows broadcasters to use bonded cellular connectivity alongside Ethernet, providing a more resilient path for high-bandwidth 4K and HDR video transmission by mitigating the risks of single-link failure.
It uses Haivision's SST protocol to load balance traffic across multiple wired and wireless paths simultaneously, ensuring reliable transport for live events.
The CellLink 5G hardware includes three 5G modems, dual antennas for MIMO 2x2 performance, and a weather-resistant enclosure designed for mounting on vehicles or buildings.
The Makito ONE platform supports HEVC, H.264, and JPEG XS codecs, along with native SRT support for low-latency transport.
