Technion graduates are bringing pictures of the 2012 London Olympics live to your homes. Going live with the 2012 Olympic games, the innovative Israel-born company LiveU introduced an innovative technology that allows a small device to use conventional mobile network signals to broadcast live events, as they happen.
The Technion brain-powered start-up already has a powerful global track record: it delivered live broadcasts of events such as the Royal Wedding of Prince William to Catherine Middleton; the 2011 Oscars and the Grammy Awards 2011; and the 2012 Super Bowl.
London 2012 is also hosting another new Israeli technology: Mobli – according to the Embassy of Israel in London. Mobli – a real-time visual media platform – is being employed by Serena Williams to update her followers on the action in London. Williams is an investor in the company, which is also populated by Technion graduates and was founded by Israeli entrepreneur Moshe Hogeg.
“Mobli is the perfect platform for me for sharing my experiences, both the great and the not so great, during the Olympic Games,” said Williams. “I hope that my fans will connect to the channel, to participate and share with me in this unique experience.”
