Uninterrupted Field Reporting with Speedify Live Streaming Tool for Broadcast Journalists
Field reporting now runs on a phone and whatever mobile signal the location happens to offer, which is why live hits arrive jittery, lag behind the studio, or die halfway through. One cellular network at a breaking-news scene is shared with every other crew and bystander standing there.
Speedify is software that transmits over several internet connections at once – 4G/5G cellular data from more than one carrier, Wi-Fi, wired Ethernet, Starlink – so a reporter’s feed never rests on a single network.
This piece covers the causes behind unstable field internet connections and how correspondents go live using Speedify; newsrooms can talk to Speedify about equipping their reporters.

Getting Rid of Connection Issues with the Best Live Streaming Tool for Broadcast Journalists
Slow Internet and even disconnects at some point is something we’ve all experienced recently. But it’s most annoying when it’s in the middle of a live field broadcast – both for viewers and journalists.
The most common situations where you might encounter these type of connectivity issues with live streams include:
- Reporting on the move / while traveling – on the street, bus, train. You may be connected to a bad / spotty WiFi hotspot which breaks the live broadcast,
- In crowded areas – the available bandwidth may not be sufficient to serve everyone at an event (most frustrating!), on a stadium, at a concert etc.
- At home or work – if your ISP is doing maintenance work right when you’re live broadcasting, or throttling data to certain platforms..
Here’s what happens: if the connection is slow, you may not be live streaming at a high resolution due to limited available bandwidth, so your videos may appear jittery / choppy. Plus – if your Internet connection is spotty and disconnects for some reason – your viewers are left watching the loading or an error screen.
Speedify Live Streaming Tool for Broadcast Journalists Combines Multiple Internet Connections at Once
If the Internet connection speed and latency causes issues with your live video streams as a journalist in the field, then you should get more bandwidth, preferably from more sources.
Speedify is a fast bonding app that gets you faster, more reliable and secure Internet by allowing you to use multiple Internet connections at the same time. By doing that, you’re not only solving the bandwidth and latency issues related to live broadcast journalism, but also the need for an automatic failover mechanism that needs to kick in should anything happen to one of your connections.
In order to combine 2 or more Internet connections simultaneously, Speedify uses patent pending channel bonding technology to do that – it’s the only software-only solution that can run on any device, whether it’s a desktop or laptop computer, smartphone or tablet.
If one of your connections fails, Speedify automatically reroutes all the traffic through your other available connection(s). This happens in the background without you having to do anything. When the dropped connection is back online, Speedify will pick it up and start using it again.
