Cell-network video streaming solution used in undisclosed German Police Helicopters

In a recent project, an undisclosed German Police Helicopter Squadron needed a rugged airworthy certifiable fallback solution based on public cell-networks for their legacy video downlinks.

In a recent project, an undisclosed German Police Helicopter Squadron needed a rugged and airworthy, certifiable fallback solution for their legacy DVB-T based video downlinks. The legacy video downlink solution suffers from availability in rural landscapes and time-demanding installation of a receiving vehicle availability on ground.

The onboard video cameras are connected to a rugged VITEC encoder for generating network video transport streams. Those streams are transported and encrypted by the team2applications MLX100 cell/satcom router over attached cell antennas.

The encrypted data are transmitted via any mobile network provider to a field-proven video-management-system. All videos captured for situational awareness, patrolling information, and intelligence-gathering missions aboard the state-of-the-art Airbus EC135 Helicopters.

All used products needed to be available commercially off-the-shelf, but they required the ability to encode video in a format that could be distributed on the IP- based KMT Tracer video management system with all relevant information.
