Ground Control Partner with Videosoft to Solve Connectivity Issues

Satellite and IoT connectivity experts, Ground Control, have successfully integrated Videosoft Global’s adaptive compression and real-time video transmission for secure video surveillance in mission critical operations worldwide.

Deployed for real-time video surveillance across multiple high-risk industries managing remote facilities, these include unmanned buildings in Farming, Military, Mining and Oil & Gas, as well as other remote asset management settings. For example, the monitoring of heavy machinery to protect valuable assets in exposed remote mining operations. Ground Control’s customers can now transmit real-time video data over satellite without having to worry about going over budget.

Integrated into Ground Control’s innovative RockREMOTE Rugged device, users now have full access to Videosoft’s leading video compression and enhancement tools to solve specific connectivity issues – no matter the bandwidth or how remote the location is.

Delivering high-compression, low latency real-time video encoding, features such as simultaneous streaming of multiple scenes and high-resolution snapshots and video retrieval are particularly advantageous for effective border control, special event security operations and remote asset management where every second counts.

Alastair MacLeod, CEO at Ground Control, said:

“The requirement for robust, secure, and uninterrupted video streaming across diverse remote environments has grown in recent years as companies look to monitor assets in hard-to-reach areas that are poorly, or not at all served by terrestrial networks.”

“Cost, however, has often been the blocker when streaming via satellite. By integrating Videosoft into our solutions, we are now able to offer the most cost-effective, real-time solution available, with enhanced additional capability to access simultaneous streams with best-in-class compression at the edge, keeping costs minimised. We’re also able to develop a range of interfaces on the cloud side, so data can be sent directly to a preferred platform without additional coding required.”

“From energy and renewables through to construction and conservation, we are opening up new horizons for remote monitoring to keep assets safe, secure and productive.”

Stewart McCone, CEO at Videosoft Global, said:

“Our partnership with Ground Control demonstrates a shared commitment to solving a range of complex industries operating from remote locations around the world. Future-proofing network requirements with our market-leading technology, together we can provide customers with complete connectivity and control and eliminate remote data transfer challenges from the outset.”

“Our video streaming compression technology, integrated into Ground Control’s RockREMOTE Rugged solution, opens the floodgates for countless critical applications, including advanced Industrial IoT communications.”

Industrial IoT | Secure Video Surveillance for Immediate Situational Awareness

In the next 5 years, the global Industrial IoT market size is predicted to grow by 13.79% – opening up limitless opportunities for smart manufacturing technologies across multiple industries. From observing and managing heavy machinery to pipeline monitoring to ensure safety and reduce maintenance costs, secure video surveillance is crucial for overseeing valuable remote assets in real-time.

Enhancing efficiency and elevating safety standards across the board, as inspection, surveillance and monitoring duties become increasingly complex and rigorous, Videosoft Global provides real-time actionable insights tailored to a range of devices. Designed to enhance a variety of IoT monitoring sensor tools, being able to reliably transfer data in real-time helps identify crucial equipment in need of urgent maintenance and prevents costly delays caused by mechanical failures.

Offering significant benefits over terrestrial networks, satellite IoT technology ensures reliable continuous coverage no matter where assets are located. Helping companies overcome geographical obstacles, satellite for IoT enhances efficiency, improves security and enables scalability of operations in challenging industrial environments.

However, satellite IoT connectivity is typically more expensive to build into devices, usually demanding significant bandwidth usage and resulting in higher data costs. This is what sets Videosoft Global apart. Using adaptive video compression and transmission techniques, Videosoft addresses these issues by enabling streaming from as little as 1kbps, notably reducing data usage and expanding operational coverage.

As front-runners in their respective technologies, this exciting partnership unlocks significant benefits, including:

• Supports both USB and IP-connected cameras.
• AES128 and AES256-bit encryption for secure data transmission.
• The Videosoft Total Recall™ feature allows you to identify areas of interest in an image to request enhancement in that area.
• Ultra-low bandwidths from 1kbps upwards.
• Suitable for transmission over Satcom, Cell and Mesh networks.
• Excellent user experience and easy-to-use client viewer.
• Integrated video monitoring analytics and alerts.
• Best-in-class video compression at the edge.
