Haivision specializes in video encoding technology to help transmit ultra-low latency video over any given network including 5G, 4G LTE, WiFi 6, and ethernet connections for broadcast, defense, enterprise, and public safety sectors. In 2009, Haivision acquired Video Furnace, expanding its product offerings to include campus (LAN) based IPTV and VOD services. In 2010, Haivision purchased CoolSign, which claimed to provide scalable digital signage solutions.

[12] In August 2021, Haivision completed the acquisition of CineMassive adding video wall solutions for operation and command centers to its portfolio. [13] In April 2022, Haivision completed the acquisition of Aviwest, strengthening its broadcast solutions portfolio for live contribution by adding cellular video transmission technology. [14]
