Enterprise live video streaming, encoding, and IP video delivery platform

Haivision unveils Makito ONE and Falkon X4 at NAB, sharpening its mission-critical lane.

live video contributionmission criticalisr and defensebroadcast hardwareultra low latency
Current state
Two product strands run side by side: a contribution-encoder hardware reveal at NAB 2026 (Makito ONE, Falkon X4 with new ultra-low-latency workflows) and a steady cadence of mission-critical / public-safety content (drone-as-first-responder, ISR encoding, command-center video walls). Broadcast and defense-adjacent verticals are clearly where the product roadmap is being pointed.
Where it's heading
Haivision is leaning harder into the two verticals where it can defend price-and-margin: live broadcast contribution and government/public-safety video. The NAB product reveals are evidence that hardware encoders are still a core franchise, not a legacy line. ISR and command-center content is being seeded to support the defense sales motion. Expect a parallel hardware refresh on the government/ISR side and continued explainer cadence around video walls.
Prediction
Next concrete signal is most likely a defense-vertical hardware or workflow announcement timed to a public-safety or defense trade show, mirroring the NAB reveal.
