Haivision Partners with Airbus for Advanced Communication Solutions
Haivision is excited to announce its involvement in a groundbreaking initiative with Airbus Defense and Space. This partnership is part of the Air!5G project, which focuses on creating innovative 5G transmitter technology to ensure connectivity in critical situations, particularly when traditional communication channels are unavailable.
Project Goals and Objectives
The Air!5G project aims to establish dependable land- and sea-based tactical 5G communication systems. These systems are designed to support operations during emergencies, particularly when network infrastructure is compromised or completely absent. This multi-year project brings together leading technology providers committed to improving communication during essential missions.
Supporting Mission-Critical Operations
A key goal of this initiative is to develop a deployable 5G private network that can be set up in command centers on land or on naval vessels. This network will enable teams, including first responders and military units, to transmit and receive crucial voice, video, and data over long distances. Additionally, dedicated network slicing will ensure prioritized performance and security for operational teams, effectively supporting mission-critical tasks.
Haivision’s Unique Contribution
Within this consortium, Haivision plays a critical role as the sole provider developing essential wireless video and audio streaming technology for this ambitious project. Leveraging its extensive expertise in low-latency ruggedized encoding and advanced wireless transmission, Haivision is poised to create a new line of 5G transmitters and external antennas optimized for deployment on mobile vehicles.
Innovative Technology Features
The new 5G transmitters will enable secure data transmission, including audio, video streams, and bi-directional data for remote control and information exchange. These technological advancements promise faster connections, enhanced reliability, and significant increases in bandwidth, thereby improving communication capabilities in challenging conditions.
Looking Ahead
With a five-year plan aimed at achieving widespread deployments, this project is crucial for enhancing communications on the ground and at sea. The upgraded 5G antenna modules will not only improve transmission capabilities but also bolster communication reliability in adverse network situations.
Jean-Marc Racine, Chief Product Officer of Haivision, shared his enthusiasm, stating, "For over 20 years, we have pioneered innovations in secure video transport. Being part of this essential European project allows us to redefine responses in critical situations and contribute to a safer world."
