Reticulate Micro, Inc. (“RMX” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: RMXI), a leader in advanced video compression technology, announced today it received an initial order from its Asia-Pacific partner TEKSEA Technology Joint Stock Company (“TEKSEA”) for VASTTM to supply a critical operational need of the Vietnamese maritime security and defense services.
TEKSEA is engaged with the Vietnamese government to design and deploy a satellite-based camera surveillance system, which includes equipping vessels with video encoding and compression systems to enable real-time transmission of surveillance footage from vessels to a command center via satellite connectivity. The ability to stream real-time video and images from cameras and sensors installed onboard ships to command centers on shore is critical to improving situational awareness and responding quickly to threats at sea. Commanders get a complete picture of the situation at hand, thereby making tactical decisions quickly and accurately. The satellite-based camera surveillance system will support a variety of mission types, including patrol and surveillance; anti-smuggling and maritime crime operations; search and rescue; and protecting the sovereignty of territorial waters.
VAST is a software-based video encoder capable of streaming high-definition video at extremely low bitrates – HD at just 200 Kbps and SD at under 50 Kbps. It can run on virtually any computing hardware without requiring specialized equipment. VAST’s video compression and low-SWaP-C make it ideal for solutions like TEKSEA’s satellite-based camera surveillance system.
Nguyen Tat Dat, TEKSEA CEO, said “We believe VAST holds great potential. It’s a game-changer with respect to the solutions we can now offer our customers. We see opportunities for VAST to improve situational awareness across a variety of mission scenarios for the maritime security and defense services.”
Andrew Sheppard, President of RMX Government added “We’re very excited to have a partner in Asia-Pacific with deep connections into the ministry of national defense and extensive expertise in cutting edge communications technologies. Their choice of VAST is another validation of our technology. We look forward to expanding their use of VAST’s groundbreaking video compression technology.”
