Domo Tactical Communications (DTC), a leader in mission-critical communication solutions, has introduced Vidar, an ultra-compact two-channel video compression system engineered to deliver real-time, high-quality video streaming in the most demanding environments.
Designed to operate over ultra-low bandwidths, Vidar provides seamless transmission even in contested, congested, or remote network conditions.
Engineered for uninterrupted video streaming in unstable or low-connectivity environments, Vidar minimizes latency while maintaining exceptional video clarity. Whether deployed in remote locations with poor cellular coverage or integrated into private IP networks, the system ensures reliable and robust video transmission. Its ultra-low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) profile makes it an ideal choice for drone-mounted applications, tactical surveillance, and other space-constrained deployments.
Jacob Randbaek, Business Unit Director, Law Enforcement at DTC, said, “Vidar will position itself as a strong contender in the miniature, low bandwidth video streaming market. Vidar has a significantly smaller footprint than its competitors and has the advantage of interfacing with external modems and RF radios for ultimate resilience. This flexibility in deployment, increases maneuverability, ease of integration and reduces its SWaP. Vidar has no dependence on servers allowing it to stand alone in a mission. As an independent product it can stream directly to a smartphone, to a monitoring site or into a preferred video management system, enhancing mission effect immediately.”
