Videosoft Global has partnered with EGS Australia to revolutionise remote operations in the hydrographic and geophysical survey sectors. 

As a leading provider of real-time video streaming solutions, Videosoft Global’s cutting-edge technology can be leveraged by EGS Australia, enabling them to carry out offshore activities using live video streaming from their vessels, ensuring seamless communication and accurate monitoring of survey operations.

EGS Australia, renowned for its professional excellence in hydrographic and geophysical surveying, serves key industries including oil and gas, renewables, telecommunications, ports and harbors, and shipping. 

Thanks to EGS Australia’s integration of Videosoft Global’s cutting-edge adaptive video compression and transmission protocols, the company can now provide uninterrupted and reliable streaming of real-time video. Even in ultra-low bandwidth environments, which used to pose a challenge to conventional streaming norms, consistent quality is ensured.

Revolutionising Maritime Operations

This ground-breaking capability allows EGS Australia to provide custom-tailored solutions to its clients, meeting their specific needs with unparalleled accuracy and efficiency.

The recent software trial of the Videosoft Global solution demonstrated exceptional results as EGS Australia successfully utilised the technology over the Starlink network on one of their smaller manned 25-metre vessels, the Bhagwan K which is currently engaged in inshore mapping and survey work along the Australian coast. 

Commissioned by the Navy, the Videosoft solution enabled EGS Australia to achieve:

  • Real-time progress updates to clients
  • Enhanced control and communications between onshore and offshore teams
  • Reduced offshore personnel and substantial cost savings
  • Streamlined workflows leading to greater efficiency
  • Real-time monitoring of job progress
  • Commitment to environmental sustainability by reducing the carbon footprint

EGS Australia’s decision to select Videosoft Global as its provider stems from the latter’s unmatched expertise and extensive track record in delivering ultra-low bandwidth video streaming solutions.

Videosoft Global’s hardware and network-agnostic approach ensures seamless streaming across land, sea, and airbased assets, including satellite, cellular, and wireless links. With their bespoke offerings, Videosoft Global continues to empower customers operating in remote locations across various industries.
