Listen to this articleReticulate Micro Inc., a St. Louis, Missouri-based software products company specializing in advanced video compression technology, has opened its VAST Research & Testing Facility (VRTF) outside of Rochester.
The facility covers dozens of acres and is capable of hosting real-life scenarios involving various tactical radio communication networks with manned/unmanned vehicles, the company stated in a release.
“I chose Rochester for VRTF’s location since it is a significant hub of radio technology and innovation,” said Andy Sheppard, Reticulate’s CEO, adding the location provides access to key technical resources and talent and the facility allows the company to host a range of deployment scenarios.
VAST (Video Ad Serving Template) is a software-based video encoder platform that is able to stream video over HF radio.
Reticulate Micro expects the facility to accelerate the adoption of VAST’s video compression technology by government programs and facilitate its uptake by tactical communications network vendors.
John Dames, the company’s chief technology officer, said, “”Over the past year, we’ve dedicated significant time and resources to demonstrating VAST across various transport and deployment scenarios – both domestically and internationally. The launch of VRTF will greatly enhance our integration and testing capabilities, accelerating our time to market for government programs and partners while driving the continued evolution of VAST.”
