PALM BAY, Fla. Reticulate Micro announced that it and several partners -- Curtiss-Wright and Nantenna -- successfully demonstrated what the the company says is the first-ever real-time video streaming over the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) tactical satellite network for a U.S. Special Operations organization.
According to the Reticulate Micro account of the event, the teams integrated Reticulate Micro’s VAST video compression encoder and the Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions PacStar Modular Radio Center to deliver live video for the first time over unbonded but Type 1 encrypted MUOS narrowband channels.
Reticulate Micro officials describe the combined solutiopn as delivering minimal delay and clear picture quality of live video, despite the constrained bandwidth.
“We demonstrated a complete point-to-point, real-time full-motion video session over MUOS in both static and on-the-move scenarios,” noted Brian Hawkins, principal architect, Reticulate Micro, of the video experiment at a U.S. Army site.
