Cellular bonding uses multiple modems which combine 2G, 3G and 4G, even wifi. By using this if one of the signals were to get blocked we can rely on the others to deliver the final product to the audience watching.
This method is generally used for live broadcasts like news as it is a portable and quick solution to broadcast from nearly anywhere in the world. It is also used for live events as it is also very affordable for those that don't have a big budget.
Now a days there are a lot more 'casual producers' with the rise of Facebook lives and streaming our own content in general. This means there is a higher demand for cellular bandwidth.

Keys Terms:
Modems - 'A modem is a network device that both modulates and demodulates analog carrier signals (called sine waves) for encoding and decoding digital information for processing. Modems accomplish both of these tasks simultaneously and, for this reason, the term modem is a combination of "modulate" and "demodulate."'

Bandwidth - 'Bandwidth is the capacity of a wired or wireless network communications link to transmit the maximum amount of data from one point to another over a computer network or internet connection in a given amount of time -- usually one second.'
