What Is Bonded Internet for Streaming?
Bonding joins two or more connections, such as the venue's internet and a 4G or 5G mobile link, and spreads the stream across all of them at once. Unlike a backup that waits for a failure, every link is working all the time.
Why Venue Internet Isn’t Enough
Shared Wi-Fi slows down when the guests all go online.
Upload speeds are often far lower than download speeds.
Venue firewalls can block streaming platforms.
A router restart can drop the connection without warning.
How Coastal AV Delivers Bonded Internet for Streaming
We bring our own network to every streamed event.
The Slate AX (GL-AXT1800) Wi-Fi 6 Travel Router
Pocket-sized, it takes internet from the venue's Ethernet or Wi-Fi, a phone or a 4G/5G modem, and runs a private network so our gear doesn't compete with the guests.
Speedify Bonding
Streaming mode puts live video first and shifts between bonding and redundancy as conditions change.
What It Means on the Day
When the venue Wi-Fi slows, the mobile link takes more of the load. Viewers don't notice.
Where We Use Bonded Internet for Streaming
On our wedding, funeral and live streaming packages, and for conference streaming.
