ANI Expands Strategic Partnership with LiveU, Driving its Large‑Scale Live News Operations Across India

Continues ANI’s long‑term partnership with LiveU, with hundreds of LiveU units deployed across the region and abroad

Hackensack, NJ – January 27th, 2026 – ANI, India’s leading news agency and a major content provider across the Asia‑Pacific region, today announced a significant expansion of its long‑standing partnership with LiveU with a large deployment of hundreds of LiveU field units across India and internationally.

ANI has been a longstanding LiveU customer for over 15 years. This expanded deployment further enhances ANI’s ability to deliver fast, reliable, broadcast‑quality live coverage at scale, even in challenging and diverse environments, enabling high‑volume, always‑on news operations across metropolitan centers and remote locations. By standardizing on LiveU technology, ANI is able to maintain consistent performance, rapid deployment, and operational resilience – regardless of geography or network conditions.

LiveU’s flagship multi-cam LU800 unit forms a core part of ANI’s live production infrastructure, reinforcing ANI’s leadership in modern broadcast workflows across the region. With native 5G connectivity and advanced IP bonding, the LU800 delivers highly resilient, low‑latency transmission in both urban and remote locations. LiveU’s mobile app, LU‑Smart, enables its team to complement the coverage using their smartphones as events unfold.

The shift toward centralized production workflows has also enabled ANI to streamline operations, improve deployment efficiency, and accelerate time‑to‑air – while maintaining the reliability and flexibility required for national and international live newsgathering.

"As live news operations continue to scale in complexity and volume, reliability and flexibility are absolutely critical,” said Mr. Sanjiv Prakash, CEO of ANI. “LiveU has consistently enabled us to respond faster, operate more efficiently, and deliver high‑quality, reliable live coverage nationwide and overseas. We are also very happy with the prompt support provided by LiveU and its local distributor Lamhas.”

"ANI’s scale and operational demands represent exactly where live news production is heading in India and across the region,” said Mr. Ranjit Bhatti, Senior Director – South Asia, LiveU. “By expanding its deployment of LiveU technology, ANI is building a future-proof IP‑based live infrastructure that supports rapid deployment, multi‑camera production, and consistent broadcast quality – regardless of location. We’re proud to support ANI as it continues to modernize its live news operations at national scale.”
