14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile broadband isn't exactly known for its ability to transmit video in real time, but Mushroom Networks wants that to change with the ThirdEye.
Not too long ago mobile broadband wasn't exactly the medium of choice for people who wanted to access the Internet.
The wireless technology evolved, though, and Mushroom is all too eager to build upon it with the ThirdEye technology.
Simply put, ThirdEye transmits live video via Broadband Bonding, a method that combines the bandwidth of several cellular data cards, even if they are from different mobile carriers, into a single, fast connection.
The speed is just one advantage; the other is that, even if one of the cards loses connection, the others will pick up the slack.
In other words, there is very little chance for the connection to fail.
The RJ45 Ethernet standard is the basis for the video surveillance technology, meaning that any PTZ camera can become a device suited for live video transmissions. It also acts as a substitute for the existing equipment, so it needs no changes to a system when replacing a wired Internet link.
“Many industries including corporate, broadcasting, transportation and many others have adopted our unique technology for combining multiple broadband links into a single high-speed connection,” stated Dr. Cahit Akin, co-founder and CEO of Mushroom Networks.
“With ThirdEye, we are now delivering mobile video capabilities to government and security surveillance applications as well as brand-new applications that were not possible before such as a doctor remotely viewing a patient in a moving ambulance, or a police chief remotely viewing and controlling the dash cam of a squad car.”
Mushroom Networks expects ThirdEye to be used in vehicles and along borders or roadways. Finally, since ease of use is supposed to be a primary asset, it will be easy to transport to other locations.
