Nearshore Transforms Live Maritime Communication with Low-Bandwidth Solutions

Global maritime communication experts Nearshore Networks have added another layer to their satellite and cellular solution portfolio by launching “NEARSHORE Adaptive Video” Powered by Videosoft. Shaping the future of communications at sea, this innovative integration enables their customers to stream HD video in real-time over low-bandwidth networks with a 99.99% uptime guarantee.

Ultra-low bandwidth video streaming technology helps NEARSHORE customers monitor manned and autonomous vessels, ensure health and safety compliance, and improve nautical operations across the board. Boosting productivity, enabling quicker decision-making, and cutting costs by dramatically reducing data transmission expenses, NEARSHORE customers can enhance visual accuracy and awareness in remote oceanic areas like never before.

Redefining Maritime Communication & Crew Welfare with Low-Bandwidth Video Streaming Technology

NEARSHORE users now have full access to the advanced Videosoft low bandwidth video platform to address the unique requirements of real-time connectivity in open waters. For example, real-time monitoring helps track crew welfare and behaviour, investigate accidents, ensure compliance with safety standards at sea, and enhance crew training programs.

Utilizing Videosoft’s exclusive Total Recall™ image retrieval tool, offshore incidents can be investigated more effectively by instantly downloading native images from the onshore control room to confirm non-compliance with all video footage recorded to local hardware for thorough documentation and further analysis.

It’s also being used to connect cutting-edge wearable video streaming technology, such as industrial smart glasses designed to engage, empower, and elevate frontline workforces on a whole new level.

Solve Maritime Signal Issues: Speed, Clarity & Bandwidth

With advanced AI-ready video streaming technology, remote maritime operations can easily tackle delays, signal interference, and limited bandwidth in offshore areas with ease.

NEARSHORE Adaptive Video enables seamless access to multiple video streams simultaneously without delays, ensuring uninterrupted streaming over their network. It’s a real game-changer for remote maritime, mining, oil & gas, and smart shipping operations where continuous visual connectivity is essential.
