When live production is your business, stability is everything. For Theophilus “Theo” Forson, CEO and Producer of Divine Media HD, reliability isn’t just a technical detail—it’s the difference between winning client trust or losing audience engagement.
Operating across Ghana, Kenya, and Sierra Leone, Theo and his team specialize in producing faith-based and corporate live events—from church services and worship concerts to conferences, webinars, and community programs. Each event is streamed simultaneously to Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, requiring flawless delivery no matter the location or internet conditions.
Since adopting the YoloBox Pro in 2022, Theo has built his mobile production workflow around it. But the true game-changer came when he enabled YoloLiv’s network bonding feature.
The Challenge: Unpredictable Networks in Dynamic Environments
Live streaming in Africa comes with a unique set of challenges.
- Indoor venues like churches and auditoriums often have congested or unreliable Wi-Fi.
- Outdoor setups in plazas or campuses are at the mercy of fluctuating LTE signals.
- Even when venues provide Ethernet, Theo has learned not to depend on it entirely—shared bandwidth during large events can bring speeds to a crawl.
- To top it off, intermittent power at certain locations sometimes complicates setup and network stability.
In Theo’s words:
“We’ve faced everything from congested venue Wi-Fi to LTE struggling in concrete buildings. Before bonding, there was always this nervous moment of speed-testing before we dared to hit ‘Go Live.’”
The Setup: YoloBox Pro at the Heart of Production
At Divine Media HD, mobility and simplicity are non-negotiable. Theo’s typical rig includes:
- Switcher/Encoder: YoloBox Pro (central hub for switching, encoding, and streaming)
- Network Inputs:
- SIM 1: LTE (MTN Ghana)
- Wi-Fi: Venue or a portable 4G/LTE router
- Ethernet: When venues provide LAN access
- Audio: Behringer WING mixer → line-in to YoloBox Pro
- Cameras: 2–3 HDMI sources (static + handheld) + occasional laptop input
This compact yet powerful setup lets his team produce multi-camera, multi-destination live streams without heavy gear or complicated logistics.
The Breakthrough: YoloLiv’s Network Bonding
Enabling network bonding on the YoloBox Pro was a turning point for Theo’s productions. By combining LTE + Wi-Fi + Ethernet, the system intelligently distributes and rebalances bandwidth across all available connections.
The Difference It Made:
- Drop-frames & stalls: Reduced from occasional stutters to virtually none.
- Bitrate stability: No more sudden drops when one path weakens—bonding automatically compensates.
- Startup confidence: Gone are the days of “speed-test anxiety.” Theo’s team can now hit Go Live knowing the stream will be resilient.
Theo recalls one critical moment:
“During a packed conference, the venue Wi-Fi collapsed mid-session. Bonding immediately leaned on our dual LTE setup until the LAN recovered. The stream never skipped. Our clients didn’t even realize there had been an issue.”
The Result: Happy Clients and Seamless Experiences
For Theo and Divine Media HD, the impact of YoloLiv’s bonding goes beyond technical improvements—it builds trust and reputation.
- Clients see cleaner audio and video, even across multi-hour events.
- Audiences enjoy consistent streams, free from buffering and sudden quality drops.
- Theo’s team works with confidence, knowing they have a safety net no matter the venue’s infrastructure.
As Theo puts it:
“Bonding has made our mobile productions far more resilient. It allows us to focus on storytelling and client experience, not on worrying about whether the internet will hold up.”

Final Thoughts
Theo’s story is a perfect example of how YoloLiv’s network bonding empowers creators in dynamic, bandwidth-challenged environments. By removing the uncertainty of unstable connections, it gives producers like Divine Media HD the freedom to focus on what matters most: delivering meaningful, uninterrupted live experiences.
