One of the reasons it was an easy choice for us is the 24/7 unfaltering support we have been getting from LiveU,” said P.R.K. Raju, Assistant Chief Engineer of ETV

“LiveU is delighted to be the trusted technology for ETV Bharat. It was extremely important for us to be able to meet all their specific and challenging product requirements, enabling them to broaden their newsgathering capabilities. We are committed to continue providing innovative products and close support to our customers in India,” said Ranjit Bhatti, Director South Asia – LiveU Ltd.
