1. A device configured to facilitate live video transmission from a remote location, the device comprising:
- a first modem driver for enabling transmission of a first plurality of packets to a receiver via a first cellular communication network wirelessly accessible from the remote location;
a second modem driver for enabling transmission of a second plurality of packets to the receiver via a second cellular communication network wirelessly accessible from the remote location, wherein the first plurality of packets and the second plurality of packets are part of a live video stream; and
at least one processor configured to receive the first plurality of packets and the second plurality of packets, and to distribute the first plurality of packets to the first modem driver and the second plurality of packets to the second modem driver in a manner such that the first plurality of packets are transmitted via the first cellular communication network and the second plurality of packets are transmitted via the second cellular communication network.

29. A method for transmitting live video from a remote location, the method comprising:
-
splitting a video stream into a plurality of packets; distributing a first group of the plurality of packets to at least one connectable modem associated with a first cellular communication network, and a second group of the plurality of packets to a second connectable modem associated with a second cellular communication network; transmitting the first group of packets to a receiver via the first cellular communication network wirelessly accessible from the remote location; transmitting the second group of packets to the receiver via the second cellular communication network wirelessly accessible from the remote location; and wherein the transmission of the first group of packets and the second group of packets enables reconstructing the video stream at the receiver. - View Dependent Claims (30)
