VISUAL DEFENCE INC.
(“VDI”)

CONTRACT WITH TADIRAN COMMUNICATIONS FOR NEXT GENERATION WIRELESS VIDEO SOLUTION


Visual Defence, a provider of integrated IP solutions to the security and defence markets (LSE: VDI), has received a contract to provide an innovative solution that transmits wireless video and data streams over tactical radio for Tadiran Communications, a leader in military communications technology. This order marks the beginning of a recently formed partnership between the two companies, which will see this solution replicated for multiple end users, including numerous military applications. Visual Defence is supplying video compression and encoding technologies designed to interface with Tadiran’s ruggedized tactical radio systems. Visual Defence utilizes its expertise in transmitting video streams over narrow-band wireless networks, allowing end-users to utilize legacy infrastructure, minimizing investment in new wireless communications equipment.

This next generation technology will become a vital tool in the modern battlefield as it creates an infrastructure that adds wireless video and data transmission to tank and other field units using traditional tactical radio networks, which in the past were limited solely to audio capabilities. Access to real-time video and data streams is critical in the field as it creates comprehensive operational awareness, thus allowing for more rapid and informed decision making at all levels within the military.

This is an initially low value contract which Visual Defence believes offers significant potential over the longer term.

Dagan Sadeh, Chief Executive Officer of Visual Defence commented:

“By leveraging our areas of expertise, both Visual Defence and Tadiran Communications have developed an invaluable tool that will greatly improve military intelligence in the field. The synergies that have been created through this co-operation have greatly benefited both firms and we look forward to further developing our relationship with Tadiran Communications.”
