Mine Media Q8 SE – Live Streaming Video Encoder with 4G Network Bonding

Streaming high-quality video from remote locations can be challenging without a stable internet connection. Cellular bonding solutions can mitigate these issues, but they often come with a hefty price tag for the required hardware and services. The Q8 SE by Mine Media offers an excellent solution for on-site live streaming, providing multiple connectivity options at an attractive price point.

Simply connect your camera’s output to the HDMI input and set up a dependable video stream in minutes using the free MLive app. The Q8 SE features a Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port for a wired internet connection when available, built-in dual-band WiFi, a 4G LTE SIM card slot, and a USB port for an additional connection via a USB network adapter or dongle.

The Q8 SE can operate in the default cascading priority mode or in aggregation mode. In the default setting, all network connections are active, with the wired connection taking precedence, followed by WiFi, and then the 4G LTE SIM and USB dongle (if used).

In the bonded aggregation mode, all active connections are merged to create a single, high-bandwidth, load-balanced uplink. This mode requires a connection to the Mine Media cloud bonding server and incurs an additional fee based on the amount of data used.
