As part of the Air!5G project, Haivision will
develop 5G transmitters that provide connectivity in mission-
critical situations where normal communications lines are disrupted
or unavailable
RENNES, France, Sept. 4,
2024 /PRNewswire/ - Haivision Systems Inc.
("Haivision") (TSX: HAI), a leading global provider of
mission-critical, real-time video networking and visual
collaboration solutions, today announced its participation in a
multi-year, multi-company consortium led by Airbus Defense and
Space. This consortium is building land- and sea-based tactical 5G
communication systems that support mission-critical operations
during emergencies when network infrastructure is compromised or
absent.
As a central component of the newly approved Important
Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI), which focuses on
advanced microelectronics and communication technologies, the
Airbus Consortium's Air!5G project unites top technology providers
who operate in France to create a
solution tailored to two primary applications: 5G Land
Communications and 5G Naval Communications.
The Air!5G project aims to develop a deployable 5G private
network, for fixed deployments in a command center on land or in a
naval flagship on water, providing 5G network access to supporting
teams or fleets over a wide radius. Teams in the field such as
first responders, military units, or naval assets can connect to
the network and send/receive voice, video and data. Dedicated
network slicing is available for the team, ensuring priority
performance and security. The project is built on a five-year
timeline to achieve volume deployments of the solution.
Central to this initiative, Haivision will engineer a new series
of 5G transmitters and external antennas designed for deployment on
mobile vehicles. These transmitters will facilitate the sending of
secure data – including audio and video streams as well as
bi-directional data for information and remote control – over a
dedicated 5G network. Haivision was selected as the sole technology
provider tasked with developing the wireless video/audio streaming
technology at the heart of the project.
Drawing on Haivision's extensive expertise in low-latency
ruggedized encoding and wireless transmission and leveraging
state-of-the art 5G modems with mmWave and MIMO technology,
the new transmitters will offer faster connections with greater
reliability and substantially increased bandwidth compared to
current solutions. Furthermore, Haivision will develop enhanced 5G
antenna modules that boost transmission capabilities while
bolstering communication robustness under adverse network
conditions.
"As a company who, for over 20 years, has dedicated its efforts
to pioneering innovations in secure, low latency video transport,
Haivision is delighted to have been selected as part of this vital
pan-European project," said Jean-Marc
Racine, Chief Product Officer of Haivision. "It is in
moments such as this, when great industry players come together
under the leadership of a visionary organization, that truly unique
platforms can redefine how we react in mission-critical situations
to make our world a safer place."
