In order to provide a comprehensive, integrated solution for drone operations in public safety, LiveU and Airwise established a strategic alliance. The partnership unifies two previously distinct components of a public safety drone workflow into a single validated stack: LiveU's bonded connectivity moves that video from the field reliably, at scale and with minimal latency, while Airwise's fleet management, airspace awareness and video distribution tools help agencies fly compliantly, manage assets, and get live video to every stakeholder who needs it.

“By combining resilient edge connectivity and low-latency video streaming with built-in fleet management and airspace compliance, we’re delivering a turnkey solution that addresses every agency’s operational needs,” said Alex Joyce, head of technology, LiveU Public Safety. “With a comprehensive set of tools working seamlessly in the background, agencies can launch operations at a moment’s notice with complete confidence in their technology.”

These days, agencies frequently have to assemble video, connectivity, fleet management and airspace compliance from various vendors that were never intended to cooperate. By combining mission controls, airspace compliance and real-time video delivery into a unified operational picture for command decision makers, the combined LiveU and Airwise architecture streamlines this workflow.

“This strategic partnership enhances our ability to deliver a complete solution for public safety teams,” said John Powers, chief revenue officer at Airwise. “For agencies in the field, the combined offering functions as a complete drone-to-command stack rather than a single piece of a larger puzzle. Together, we are helping teams streamline field operations and gain immediate situational awareness when seconds count.”

“Having a unified technology stack that seamlessly pairs LiveU’s bonded transmission with Airwise’s flight management makes an immediate impact on tactical operations,” said Gabe Graveline, EMS officer and robotics coordinator at Tulsa, OK, Fire Department. “It allows our operators to focus on the mission and airspace compliance, knowing that crystal-clear video is reaching incident command without delay.”

At DRONE RESPONDERS TEXCON 2026, which will take place from Oct. 19–22 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX, LiveU and Airwise will present their collaborative solution. Attendees will be guided through a complete end-to-end mission scenario during the live demonstration, which will include a drone flight controlled by the Airwise platform with automated notifications to stakeholders. Live video will be sent directly to command displays and mobile devices via LiveU's IP-bonded solution, demonstrating how the two systems collaborate from flight to video delivery.

“DRONERESPONDERS is at the forefront of advancing public safety UAS operations, and we are proud to support that mission at TEXCON,” added Joyce. “By bringing our integrated solution into the field for a live demonstration, we’re showing agencies how combining resilient video streaming with fleet management turns complex technology into a reliable, actionable asset for first responders.”
