In today’s world, video is king – and not just on social media or streaming platforms. Real-time video is also being used all around the world for monitoring, tracking, safety, and security by industrial firms, transport operators, law enforcement, media organizations and governments.
All this video can take up a lot of bandwidth. And that bandwidth can be either prohibitively expensive or completely unavailable in many cases – especially if you are, say, a major mining company operating in some of the world’s toughest regions
That is where our new ELEVATE partner Digital Barriers comes in. Its technology allows organizations to stream video via satellite or cellular - meaning global coverage - using ultra-low bandwidth
Digital Barriers are real-time video streaming specialists, with tools specifically designed for low-bandwidth environments. Its Edgvis technology uses patented AI-based video codec and secure, tightly integrated edge analytics, to deliver reliable, high-quality video transmission over satellite and cellular networks at significantly reduced and more predictable costs.
Its EdgeVis technology is ‘network aware’. This means it can understand available bandwidth, latency, and network characteristics, and dynamically adjust compression of video transmission to ensure reliability.
With more than a decade of experience, Digital Barriers has worked with governments, military organizations, and specialist law enforcement agencies in the defense sector, as well as numerous public and private-sector clients. Its technology has also been helping keep troops safe in Afghanistan and Iraq, deploying across NATO, and adding additional security at presidential inaugurations, Olympic Games and royal events.
The company also partners with major global network operations – for example AT&T, BT and Vodafone - to deliver real-time video to almost any video platform, reportedly decreasing bandwidth consumption by up to 90% in low-latency environments without compromising quality.
As a new ELEVATE partner, Digital Barriers will now have access to our growing partner ecosystem - providing access to new capabilities and collaboration with other organizations involved in satellite connectivity and IoT. We’ll also provide technical support and commercial frameworks to enable its services to accelerate its growth in new markets.
Kunal Shukla, CTO, Digital Barriers, said: “Digital Barriers is delighted to join Viasat’s ELEVATE program, in partnership we aim to unlock the full potential of real-time video for the global satellite market.”
“Our patented, AI-based low latency, low bandwidth video codec and secure edge analytics revolutionize the delivery of reliable, secure, cost-effective real-time video over Viasat’s Global Network to connect land, sea and air. Together we can increase situational awareness, improve worker safety and enable new business outcomes by converting insights into actions.”
So, with new technology, video streaming can continue to help people stay safe, secure, and efficient, from almost anywhere.
