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

Preliminary Specifications:
Imaging module only:
Power consumption: <2.5W
Weight: <120 grams
Transmission time for typical usable color 640x480 image: 15 seconds over , smaller images in ~5 seconds over 2400 baud satcomm link(!).
Now available: ~One frame per second over Globalstar! Support for efficient use of a gimballed camera over Satcomm!
