Military Insights: Behind the Scenes with Iain at Operation Beyond The Horizon

Participating in numerous prestigious closed-door conferences across the globe, it’s been a particularly active year for our Defense and Military Events Team. And for good reason! As the demand for military operations and armed forces to transition to a more integrated use of manned and unmanned systems advances, so does the need for robust and resilient connectivity in contested and degraded environments worldwide.

Delivering the market’s lowest bandwidth video products, increasing numbers of people are turning to Videosoft to combat these challenges head-on. Able to provide a continuous live video feed regardless of the bandwidth, this is what sets us apart.

Immersive product demonstrations are essential for showcasing functional capabilities and boosting brand confidence – even more so in complex military environments, where technological advancements facilitate quicker and more effective decision-making during critical military operations.

With this in mind, working closely with our partners at Viasat Global Government, it’s time to take a closer look at our involvement in the 9th edition of Operation Beyond the Horizon last month with Iain Janes, Business Development Director at Videosoft.

Operation Beyond The Horizon (OBTH) | Zegrze, Poland | 23-24 September 2024

Held annually by Viasat, Operation Beyond the Horizon (OBTH) brings leading Solution Partners together from around the world to demonstrate the latest technological advances in the critical domain of remote satellite communications, specifically for military operations and government security agencies.

Sharing a short fictional military campaign, live demonstrations were performed of fully integrated Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) satcom solutions in realistic operational scenarios.

Empowering Soldier Connectivity and C4ISR Mission Success

Welcoming over 130 attendees from 8 nations, there was significant interest surrounding the battle-tested STAR-PAN™ Data Hub and Power Distribution System from Glenair. Working in partnership, the Videosoft Global advanced video software is directly integrated into this revolutionary device.

Designed to reduce significant mission weight to the dismounted soldier ensemble whilst staying connected in real-time, further benefits include:

• Versatile 2, 4, and 6-port high-speed hub configurations.
• STAR-PAN™ packaging reduces heat and increases power efficiency and battery life.
• Improves situational awareness, surveillance, intelligence and reconnaissance.
• Battle-tested environmental and EMC performance.
• Equipped exclusively with NATO-standard Mighty Mouse QDC connectors and cables.

Next-Gen Military Ops: Ultra-Low Bandwidths and Ultra-Low Latency From 1kbps Upwards

Delivering strong and stable real-time communication solutions across any network and in every scenario, from base headquarters we successfully illustrated the capabilities of our remote military video streaming application, highlighting the importance of situational awareness as observed from the control center.

Bringing headquarters, forward operating bases, soldiers on the front line, mobile reconnaissance, covert surveillance units and ISR together no matter where they’re located, by utilizing our adaptive video software at every touchpoint, we streamline the sensor-decider-effector chain like no other.

Streaming feeds from various situations, these included:

• UAV – Intelligence / Surveillance / Reconnaissance (ISR)
• Control and Command Center
• Dismounted Soldier – Comms on-the-move via BGAN Patrol
• Adhoc Mobile Reconnaissance – Mobile Vehicle Patrol Unit
