Connection Bonding in Outdoor/Mobile Situations

I have worked in the mobile live streaming space over the last three years. During that time I have worked with several different solutions to help increase the quality and strength of outgoing broadcasts that utilize multiple bonded 4GLTE connections.

 

Professional Solutions:

LiveU Solo

Mushroom Networks Portabello

Peplink Max

Teradek Cube + Bond

 

Enthusiast Solutions:

BELABOX

Speedify

 

Even a deeper dive through google today before writing up this post shows there are many more out there. I'm surprised that only really one of these solutions that I have tried personally gave me results that I was consistently happy with. My questions are as follows:

 

  • How different do you think these companies' proprietary multi-linking/aggregation methods? I know that some of the above solutions require subscription services to send data to a private tunnel while others are supposed to work only device in hand.
  • Is it even possible that a hobbyist could get something like this up and running on their own with time and effort and have a working solution [not a network engineer/ but competent (arguable) programmer]?
  • Any suggestions on best way to travel down this new path? Or anyone that has direct experience with this and wouldn't mind fielding some questions?

 

My interest is peaking and I'd like to ride it. Cheers all.
