Introduction
Livox Hub is a streamlined way to integrate and manage Livox LiDAR sensors and their data outputs.
One Livox Hub can connect to up to nine Livox LiDAR sensor units.
LiDAR Management: Livox Hub communicates with each connected LiDAR sensor and reads each
sensor’s connection status, firmware version, and working states. When Livox Hub is connected, users
can monitor all connected LiDAR sensors together through Livox Hub. If there are any abnormalities
with Livox Hub or the Livox LiDAR sensors connected, Livox Hub sends a warning prompt. Users can
then check the error codes using Livox Viewer or the Livox SDK.
Each Livox LiDAR port has independent power control and short circuit protection. Users can turn the
power supply on or off to a specific LiDAR port using Livox Viewer or the Livox SDK.
Livox Hub can unify the point cloud data into the user’s coordinate system and integrate all LiDAR point
cloud data into a single output. The point cloud data of Livox Hub can be displayed in Cartesian or
Spherical coordinates, and can be changed using Livox Viewer.
Time Synchronization: Time synchronization is supported by IEEE 1588-2008 (PTPv2) and GPS,
delivering sub-microsecond-level time synchronization of point cloud data.
Livox SDK: The Livox LiDAR Software Development Kit (SDK) is provided to help develop customizable
applications using the point cloud data.
• The precision of IEEE 1588-2008 (PTPv2) was tested in a lab environment.
• Refer to the SDK Communication Protocol to check the format of the point cloud timestamps.
• When nine Livox Mid-100 sensor units are connected to a Livox Hub, the maximum data
bandwidth is approximately 300Mbps.
• Operating Livox Hub in a residential environment could cause radio interference.

1. Port Cover × 4
Protect the ports from damage. To view the
ports on Livox Hub, unscrew and remove the
port covers.
2. Status LEDs
Displays the working states of Livox Hub.
Refer to Appendix 7.1 for more information.
3. Dissipation Area
Dissipates heat. DO NOT cover this area when
Livox Hub is in use. It is recommended to
keep a space of 30 mm between this area and
other objects.
4. Livox Hub
The main section of Livox Hub, which can be
used with or without the port covers.
