VITEC - Experts & Thought Leaders

VITEC, a global provider of advanced video encoding, streaming, IPTV, and digital signage solutions, has partnered with EKOM to support business opportunities in Türkiye’s defence, aerospace, and advanced technology markets. EKOM specialises in electronic components with an established presence in defence and aerospace supply chains, with the partnership making VITEC’s video streaming solutions more accessible to its partners. VITEC will be addressing defence and aerospace clients in the region alongside EKOM at SAHA Expo, 5-9 May, at Istanbul Expo Center. Supporting sustainable innovation “EKOM is a well-established and trusted brand in the region, and we’re delighted to work with them to build on our existing work in the territory,” says Ghassan Dadokh, Senior Business Development Manager, Regional Head of Security & Defence vertical at VITEC. “In turn, we hope to broaden EKOM’s offering, and provide field-tested video solutions to defence, aerospace, and other markets. This collaboration reflects the shared commitment of both companies to support sustainable innovation and long-term value creation within Türkiye’s strategic industries.” Complex operational environments Through this collaboration, EKOM will support local engagement activities by providing access to selected VITEC solutions and technical expertise, enabling Turkish manufacturers and system integrators to efficiently deploy high-performance video technologies within complex operational environments. VITEC solutions deliver high-quality, low-latency video designed for seamless integration across ISR systems, communication networks, sensors, and mission platforms. The highly interoperable architecture of VITEC technologies enables efficient integration with existing and locally developed systems, supporting Türkiye’s objectives related to sovereign capability development and technology independence. EKOM’s established representation network across semiconductor components, electronic modules, and integrated technologies provides strong local support capabilities, enabling Turkish partners to benefit from responsive technical assistance.

VITEC has developed an integrated ISR video mission commander solution to simplify the capture, distribution and management of video, supporting the evolving requirements of modern military operations. The solution combines VITEC’s ultra low latency encoding hardware with the EZ TV video distribution platform to enable secure, interoperable real time video delivery across mobile, airborne and command environments. Mission-critical information “In today’s complex operational environments, the challenge is no longer access to data, it is the ability to transform multiple sensor feeds into clear, real-time situational awareness. By enabling secure, ultra-low-latency video distribution across the entire mission chain, VITEC empowers commanders to make faster, more informed decisions when it matters most,” said Ghassan Dadokh, Regional Head of Défense & Security Senior Business Development Manager, VITEC. Modern military teams rely on an expanding range of sensors including drones, UGVs, fixed cameras and mobile platforms, generating large volumes of ISR video that can be difficult to manage effectively. Siloed systems, inconsistent formats and latency issues often slow decision-making and disrupt the distribution of mission-critical information. VITEC’s approach is designed to address these challenges, offering defence organisations a more interoperable, scalable and secure method for distributing live and mission relevant video across all tiers of command. Highly dynamic environments The mission commander solution incorporates VITEC encoders directly into forward deployed assets such as vehicles, UGVs and portable ground stations. These encoders enable HD and 4K sensor feeds to be streamed over RF, LTE or Satcom links into the command and control network. Through the EZ TV platform, operators at all levels, including dismounted personnel on rugged tablets, can view, manage and distribute live, archived and on demand video through a unified interface. This supports a coherent operational picture even in bandwidth constrained or highly dynamic environments. By supporting standard streaming protocols, MISB and KLV metadata, and AES 256 encryption, the system remains compatible with existing C2 and ISR architectures while enabling secure dissemination across single site, multi-site and coalition deployments. The combination of hardware-based processing, bandwidth efficient codecs and centralised management helps reduce operator burden, improve responsiveness and maintain a consistent view of critical video sources.

VITEC, a pioneer in IP video streaming solutions, has partnered with the Jordan Design & Development Bureau (JODDB) to successfully integrate low latency video streaming technology to enable secure, real time Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations across remote and rugged border regions. The vehicle-mounted mobile solution, which was integrated and commissioned by Haupshy, sees VITEC technology pair with the Dragon Eye electro optical (EO) system and Al Oqab mobile surveillance platform, supported by Es’hailsat resilient SATCOM connectivity. Strengthening operational effectiveness “By uniting JODDB’s advanced Dragon Eye EO sensor and Al Oqab mobile surveillance platform with VITEC’s mission proven, low latency MGW Diamond Tough video encoding and Es’hailsat COTM SATCOM links, we’ve delivered a field ready ISR solution that ensures operators receive the real time intelligence they need, no matter how remote the mission environment,” says Ghassan Dadokh, Senior Business Development Manager, Regional Head of Security & Defense vertical at VITEC. “We are proud to collaborate with our partners and support a capability that enhances border security, improves decision making, and strengthens operational effectiveness for defense and security forces.”  Mission critical visibility By integrating VITEC’s low latency, bandwidth efficient video encoders, field operatives were able to securely stream high quality ISR video from these mobile platforms over Es’hailsat satellite communication network, ensuring mission critical visibility even in unserved or infrastructure denied regions. The integrated solution from Haupshy aligned all multi sensor, encoding, and SATCOM parameters into a seamless end to end operational chain. JODDB’s Dragon Eye EO system provides day and night electro optical and infrared imaging, precise target tracking, and rapid coordinate generation. The Al Oqab mobile surveillance platform, which integrates Dragon Eye onto an electro mechanical mast, was developed to operate effectively in high terrain border areas where fixed tower systems are limited.  This combined solution delivers resilient ISR connectivity from the field to command and control centers, enabling defense and security operators to maintain situational awareness, monitor border activity, and accelerate decision making.
