VITEC and RFmondial have showcased ultra-low (sub 100ms) video streaming over DECT NR+, the new non-cellular 5G standard.
IPTV, video streaming and digital signage solutions provider VITEC collaborated with wireless transmission technology supplier RFmondial under project MERCI, an initiative backed by the French and German governments as part of their 5G programmes.
In what the companies said was a world-first, VITEC’s video encoder and decoder combined with RFmondial’s NR+ implementation (based on the Nordic chipset) to demonstrate HD video streaming with latency down to 50ms glass to glass over ranges of up to 100 metres at a public workshop in Hannover.
“This demonstration shows that Ultra-Low Latency wireless video transmission is now made simple even in very demanding environments, where today complex dedicated technical means are needed,” said Eric Deniau, SVP R&D at VITEC.
Jens Schroeder, RFmondial’s managing director, said: “The simplicity of NR+ setup, which does not require infrastructure deployment, together with its robust and high-performance capabilities, make it an ideal solution for wireless video connectivity in applications such as public venues, industrial or medical environments.”
