Reticulate Micro Breakthrough: Real-Time Video Streaming Over HF Radio
Reticulate Micro Breakthrough: Real-Time Video Streaming Over HF Radio |
| [24-February-2025] |
ST LOUIS, Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reticulate Micro, Inc. (OTCQB: RMXI) ("Reticulate Micro," "we," or the "Company"), a software products company specializing in advanced video compression and streaming solutions, today announced Reticulate Micro's VAST Video Platform achieved a breakthrough in military communications by successfully streaming video over a High Frequency (HF) radio link from Tucson to San Diego at ultra-low bandwidths of 10kbps to 100kbps. This breakthrough enables live video transmission in bandwidth-constrained and remote environments where such capabilities were previously unattainable.
HF radio refers to radio waves in the frequency range of 3 to 30 MHz. HF radio is known for its ability to provide long-distance communication by bouncing signals off the ionosphere (a process called skywave propagation). This makes it valuable for military, maritime, aviation, and emergency communication, especially in remote areas where satellite or internet-based communication may be unavailable. HF radio is often used for:
Its main advantage is its ability to operate beyond line-of-sight without relying on infrastructure like satellites or cell towers. However, it has traditionally been limited by low data transmission speeds, which makes Reticulate Micro's real-time video transmission over HF a significant technological breakthrough. In a milestone demonstration on December 17, 2024, at the US Navy's NAVWAR facility at Fort Huachuca in Tucson, Arizona, Reticulate Micro's VAST platform successfully streamed long-range video over Navy HF radio networks—a capability previously considered unfeasible. The testing validated VAST's ability to deliver real-time UDP video across multiple HF configurations, culminating in a long-distance transmission from Fort Huachuca to San Diego at 100kbps, 50kbps, and as low as 10kbps, with latencies as low as 6 seconds. The Company expects this breakthrough to establish VAST as a transformative solution for military video streaming, including VTC (video teleconferencing) over long-range HF networks. John Dames, CTO of Reticulate Micro, emphasized, "Today, there is no other solution capable of streaming real-time video over legacy tactical networks such as HF and TACSAT." Ongoing development aims to refine this capability for operational use, in order to position VAST as a new multi-domain video standard for military communications across all bands and waveforms, including tactical networks like MANET, HF, SATCOM, and more. Andy Sheppard, Reticulate Micro President and CEO, stated, "Having worked over 40 years within the HF radio community—both in industry and with the British Army as a Special Forces Communicator—this achievement marks a significant milestone for the industry and radio community alike. We've advanced a lot over the past forty years, but video was long regarded by many as the holy grail of the HF world and deemed impossible. Reticulate Micro's VAST has now shifted that paradigm, and I'm extremely proud to share this moment with our team as we celebrate this new frontier in communications technology."
