SatCam is a miniature satellite communications imaging solution, compatible with the Iridium satellite network.  This system enables remote imaging anywhere in the world, anytime.

This is an enabling technology for small over the horizon capable UAVs.  The system combines the best available low bandwidth optimized image compression technology with a robust image transmission protocol capable of transmitting streaming still images over ultra low bandwidth links.

Developers can integrate the imaging system with their own datalink, or users can drop in a ready to go independent imaging system.  Also suitable for remote security- dial into a camera anywhere in the world and get realtime images.

Features:
    •Supports satcomm (Iridium ready) or transparent UHF datalinks
    •Compression selectable so the user can trade off quality and transmission time
    •Ready to use camera and compression module, or customizable to a variety of camera and image capture solutions.
    •NMEA GPS and aircraft attitude input and remote mapping features
    •Megapixel imaging over UHF coming soon
    •Royalty-free source code available for custom integration
    •Orthorectification and Mosaicing
