Video experts and everyday video consumers alike agree that today’s connected content requires more robust networks. Consequently, video compression and encryption are now essential to modern communication infrastructures. Maintaining high video quality is non-negotiable; however, video transmission is restricted due to challenges in bandwidth, security and latency, which can in commercial scenarios affect the quality of the experience and in mission-critical applications like defense, can influence mission success and even the safety of soldiers.
