Optibase Full Motion Video Mobile Streaming (FMVMS) technology enhances combat situational awareness by streaming real-time IP FMV services to troops’ mobile devices.
Smartphones and tablets are now bringing the promise of enhanced situational awareness into the tactical arena. Units and even individual soldiers are increasingly equipped with these devices and video is playing a larger role in reconnaissance and combat situational awareness. Tactical units are quickly coming to regard high quality and even high definition (HD) H.264 video as a requirement rather than an option. The video providers and IT departments that must provide high quality video to these mobile devices are struggling with the challenge of responding to constantly changing network bandwidth requirements and cross-platform mobile devices support without impacting day-to-day operations.
The Optibase Full Motion Video Mobile Streaming (FMVMS) solution concentrates the power to support all of the most commonly used mobile devices in a compact blade architecture that is optimized for mission critical military service. FMVMS is integrated with the widely-deployed EZ TV IPTV System and FITIS Situational Awareness and ISR Platform to enable rapid deployment of real-time streaming to phones and tablets by relaying existing IPTV feeds or newly created IP streams with the latest protocols optimized for mobile delivery.
The FMVMS solution is designed to support the rapidly changing network and bandwidth requirements of today’s military environment. With support for 3G, HSPA+, 4G LTE, GPRS, WiFi and WiMAX, the Optibase FMV Mobile Streaming Blade offers the ultimate in flexibility in disseminating real-time video services to local, remote and mobile users. Remote management and advanced clustering capabilities allow the Mobile Streaming Blade to serve as a head-end device or as an edge appliance, installed downrange, ensuring maximum network utilization efficiency and quality of service (QoS) by positioning streaming services as close as possible to the end user. The FMV Mobile Streaming Blade can provide unicast video on demand to hundreds of users that connect from outside your LAN via connections that do not support multicast video, such as VPNs, IP tunnels and even dial-up connections. Modular Mobile Streaming Blade hardware is designed to fit in any Optibase MGW Blade System so you can build a custom solution that is ideal for your application.
