Video Streaming Where It Wasn’t Possible Before
VAST™ delivers real-time video streaming where it was previously impossible or operationally impractical. With VAST™, you can stream video over any transport from the latest High-Throughput Satellite or MANET Radio to UHF TACSAT Radio – all possible with its novel AV1 video-streaming solution. It even works across HF Radios.
Available as software, as a software-defined appliance or as a customized solution within an existing edge platform, VAST™ supports streaming as high as 8k or as little as 10kbps. Our real-time software-based AV1 encoder can compress video with a much higher efficiency than standard legacy codecs and does not suffer from the artificing and screen tearing experienced at extreme compression ratios. Our encoder is so efficient we can do this with as little as 5-10w of power on a Raspberry Pi5.

VAST™ transforms the way video and imagery are streamed, stored, and transmitted by delivering enhanced efficiency, scalability, and performance across diverse network environments.
Built for the Tactical User
VAST™ was designed to support and extend FMV capabilities to the tip of the spear. VAST™ doesn’t rely on image transfers and will stream video in real-time including metadata such as KLV.
Software Encoding
Modular video encoder designed to run across a range of hardware, including our VAST™ appliances and edge devices, even satellite modems, which may or may not currently support video or encoding. In this way, VAST™ can bring new capabilities to the edge.
Direct Streaming
VAST™ operates without the need for a video management system or server to stream video.
Open Standards
Leverage open media standards like AV1, SRT, etc. No proprietary formats.
Clean Video, Less Distortion
VAST™ leverages the AV1 compression standard, so even highly compressed video is clear with no visual artifacts like tearing or distortions.
Easy-to-use UI
VAST™ apps feature a simple UI for creating, storing, managing, and sharing video presets and workflows.
Still Image Compression
Can compress image files as much as 5,000 to 1 compression ratio.
Proven Performance
VAST™ has proven its superior video streaming performance and low latency repeatedly on multiple military and commercial networks, including: - Iridium’s Certus® 100 network - Inmarsat’s military L-band Tactical Satellite (L-TAC) service and laser network - US Department of Defense’s TACSAT network - US Department of Defense’s HF Radios
