When spectators were shut out of high school sports during the pandemic, Shaun Jeffers saw an opportunity to bring communities back together — virtually.
With a background in information technology and marketing communications, Shaun pivoted from IT infrastructure to live production. What started as a necessity to connect fans during lockdown has now become a thriving broadcasting network: the Section V Broadcast Network in New York.
Today, Shaun not only covers high school championships but also streams his kids’ hockey games — giving parents and fans a professional viewing experience that rivals commercial sports broadcasts.
“We were able to really grow high school sports through streaming,” Shaun says. “Now I’m livestreaming most of my kids’ hockey games and have parents helping out on the production side.”
The Challenge: Unpredictable Internet at Ice Rinks
If there’s one thing every live streamer knows, it’s that great content means nothing without a reliable connection. For Shaun, this became especially true inside ice hockey rinks, where thick concrete walls and metal roofs often block Wi-Fi and cellular signals.
“Most of the rinks don’t have reliable internet lines or wireless access,” he explains. “Cellular isn’t great either because of the building structure. So connection drops were always a risk.”
As a professional perfectionist and a dad who wants parents to enjoy every moment, Shaun couldn’t settle for unstable streams. He needed a solid solution that ensured consistent performance no matter the venue.
The Solution: YoloLiv Network Bonding
Enter YoloLiv Network Bonding — the feature that changes the game for creators like Shaun.
Using his YoloBox Extreme, Shaun connects multiple networks — his Inseego MiFi X Pro 5G UW hotspot, the SIM card inside the YoloBox, and even Wi-Fi if available — all bonded together to deliver a stronger, more resilient upload stream.
When packet loss or bandwidth issues strike, the bonding feature automatically balances the load across all networks to keep the stream stable.
“I like how easy it is to use,” Shaun says. “If I start dropping packets, I can instantly improve the livestream by switching to bonding. When one stream won’t cut it, YoloLiv keeps me going.”
Thanks to this flexibility, Shaun no longer worries about losing connection mid-game — even in the toughest rinks.
The Setup: A Mobile Studio Built for Performance
Shaun’s setup is a perfect blend of professional gear and smart engineering:
- Canon 4K camera with YoloDek capture
- Behringer XENYX 802S and 502S mixers with Audio-Technica headsets
- Jackery power box to run his camera, YoloBox, hotspot, and mixer
- YC-Onion cages and sunshade hoods for both YoloBox units
Everything is connected, powered, and mobile — allowing him to set up anywhere and stream directly to YouTube (@Streamlocity) or Section V’s platform.
“Getting another 100GB of network bonding will help tremendously,” Shaun says. “I do this as a hobby right now, but it’s for parents who can’t make it to the games. It keeps me learning and ensures our productions of high school championships stay fantastic.”
Why YoloLiv Network Bonding Makes the Difference
For Shaun, YoloLiv’s bonding feature isn’t just a backup — it’s the reason his streams stay live.
✅ Seamless Switching: When one network weakens, bonding automatically fills the gap.
✅ Plug-and-Play Simplicity: No complicated setup — just turn it on and stream.
✅ Professional Stability: Keeps broadcasts smooth even in poor network environments.
✅ Freedom to Stream Anywhere: From ice rinks to outdoor fields, connection is no longer a limitation.
“It’s so easy to go live and know that if the internet fails me, YoloLiv won’t.”
Looking Ahead
Shaun continues to grow Section V Broadcast Network and plans to enhance his productions even more — including adding features like pre-loaded commercial videos for halftime breaks.
But one thing is clear: YoloLiv Network Bonding has become his go-to tool for delivering flawless livestreams that bring communities together.
“It’s all about keeping families connected,” Shaun says. “YoloLiv helps me make that happen.”
