This compelling low-bandwidth solution will enable SkyTrac's customers to take advantage of real-time video transmission over wireless networks with limited bandwidth.

Videosoft's streaming platform will enable SkyTrac's customers to access various exciting features, such as simultaneous streaming of multiple scenes, AES128 and AES256 bit encryption, hi-res snapshots, hi-res video retrieval and more. With the ability to stream at as low as four Kbps, Videosoft's streaming service will enable operators to access reliable video footage over Iridium satellite, cellular and other radio-based IP networks.
