3X Your Uploads with Channel Bonding

Eliminate the bottleneck of a single weak network connection by intelligently splitting data across all available connections, for maximum throughput from anywhere, with MASV Multiconnect.

Intelligent Routing

MASV manages the connections behind the scenes, ensuring each one fires at full capacity without dropping data.

Lightning Fast Uploads

At the mercy of slow hotel or venue Wi-Fi? Upload big media files and datasets at top speed and reliability from anywhere.

Seamless Failover

If one connection drops, your transfer automatically continues on the remaining active channels without interruption.

Built for Any Use Case With a Need for Speed

By simultaneously bonding multiple network connections like Wi-Fi, cellular, and ethernet into a single pipeline, Multiconnect keeps large file transfers moving for any use case that needs more throughput – whether you're in the studio or a low-bandwidth venue.

Remote Locations & Live Events

Spotty connectivity is the enemy of on-location shoots and live broadcasts. Bond wireless 5G hubs with local venue connections to upload massive files in less time than it takes to load the production truck.

Road Warriors & Hotel Wi-Fi

With remote work comes the inevitable hotel stay – along with painfully slow internet. Bond your hotel Wi-Fi with a 5G hub or mobile phone to create a robust connection on the road.

Studio Environments

Take advantage of multiple ISPs in your office. Bond connections for massive transfers, and schedule MASV to keep usage low during busy daytime hours.

Maintain Complete Control Over Your Network

Enforce strict upload and download caps for each bonded connection using the MASV Desktop App’s Speed Limits feature. Schedule limits based on day of the week or time of day to ensure transfers never disrupt busy office hours, because speed shouldn't come at the cost of your team's operational bandwidth.

The Real-World Stress Test

We stress-tested Multiconnect using 10GB of ProRes LT files, running each test three times for accuracy. Local storage (1TB NVMe SSD) was benchmarked at 1880 MB/s read and 2279 MB/s write to ensure hardware speeds wouldn't bottleneck the results.

Key Takeaways:

  • Boosted Uploads: Combining 5G with Wi-Fi increased upload speeds from a sluggish 14 Mbps to over 300 Mbps.
  • Maximized Potential: Bonding wired and 5G connections achieved near-gigabit downloads (985 Mbps) and optimized upload velocity.
  • The Bottom Line: Channel bonding eliminates the choice between speed and reliability, maximizing your available bandwidth.

Activate Multiconnect in Just Three Clicks

Multiconnect is ready to use out of the box, with no complex IT configurations required:

  1. Download: Install the MASV Desktop App (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
  2. Connect: Plug in your Ethernet cable and connect to your Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot.
  3. Toggle: Open App Settings > Multiconnect, toggle the switch to Enabled, and select your active networks. MASV handles the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is channel bonding?

Channel bonding—also known as bonded internet, network bonding, a bonded channel, or Ethernet bonding—is the combining of two or more internet connections (such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or cellular) into a single, more powerful connection. It typically involves a primary channel and a secondary channel, and is a little like load balancing for your file transfer. This is to maximize the total connection bandwidth by spreading file uploads and downloads across those networks. If you bond a wired Ethernet connection with Wi-Fi, for example, data is uploaded or downloaded through both channels at once—significantly accelerating the process and providing a failsafe if one of your networks goes down.

Network bonding is particularly useful when working with low or unreliable connectivity or when transferring large files, as it can prevent network bottlenecks that often occur with a single connection.

What types of internet networks can I combine?

You can only bond networks that are different from the one you are currently using. For example, if your phone and computer are sharing the same Wi-Fi, they are on the same network and can’t be combined. In this case, you need to use your phone’s data plan to open up a new network source for Multiconnect to work.

Some examples of networks you can connect:

  • Wi-Fi (+ Wi-Fi dongles)
  • Ethernet
  • Cellular data (3G/4G/5G)
  • Tethered smartphone
  • Satellite internet like Starlink
Who benefits from combining multiple internet connections?

MASV is here to help media and data professionals send and receive projects on time no matter what, so we’re always trying to find new ways to accelerate your projects.

Multiconnect is ideal for:

  • Busy newsshooters on the go
  • Film crews shooting on location
  • Remote workers and staff working from home who need additive “burst” bandwidth to upload huge assets on deadline
  • Anyone who needs to send or receive massive files like large video content with maximum reliability and speed
How much does Multiconnect cost?

There’s no extra charge to use MASV Multiconnect – it’s an inherent part of the MASV service. Your files are transferred at maximum speed for no extra cost.

It’s important to remember that if you tether to your mobile or satellite devices, those charges will still apply and are separate from MASV. Plan accordingly. We’ll make sure your files get delivered on time.
