End-to-end visual-data communications for emergency, disaster, safety and security organisations

SatNetCode’s scope is to provide reliable end-to-end visual-data communications for mission-critical operations by integrating adaptive network re-encoding. The activity aims to improve information throughput while minimising bandwidth usage. SatNetCode targets users that need visual situational awareness; e.g. emergency, disaster, safety and security organisations. For these organisations, operational scenarios (with observers, decision makers and action teams) usually consist of several physical nodes at different locations communicating using different networks. By advancing beyond the traditional approaches of routing and forward erasure correcting codes, SatNetCode exploits the opportunities to use novel in-network coding schemes in order to increase the overall throughput and provide better quality of experience for critical operations.
