WESTON FL ¡X Remote View Communications today announced the first successful test of live ground based remote viewing of in-flight video from an aircraft. Remote View Communications, Inc. in conjunction with it¡¦s partners IVMS, HBE, and Iridium Satellite Systems, today successfully demonstrated live video transmission of cabin and cockpit cameras on one of the corporate aircraft of Attorney Willie Gary.

Using it¡¦s IVMS MultiVision NetServer hardware, specially modified for aircraft installation by HBE, live video was sent to a ground based Internet gateway utilizing the Iridium Satellite Network. Using special compression and transmission programs Remote View was able to successfully send video via the currently extremely limited bandwidth of satellite systems while being securely viewed via the internet on the ground. Our system is also capable of sending audio and data from the flight recorder as well. Thanks to the cooperation of Mr. Willie Gary and his aviation personnel the test was done utilizing one of his Stuart, Florida based corporate aircraft as a test bed. From his aircraft we were able to send live images of the cockpit and cabin placed cameras for viewing and recording by ground based Iridium personnel. Copies of this live transmission are recorded and available on our Flight View Central site. As a result of our successful demonstration we anticipate making a permanent installation of the system on Mr. Gary¡¦s Boeing 737, utilizing all aircraft and FAA compliant equipment already being tested. Our aircraft based system will interface well with our general aviation airport security system currently being deployed. Our partner ADT will be providing cameras and additional equipment as well as installation for this system. This application which like our other systems not only provides monitoring and recording of all airport areas but remote viewing via the internet as well. Our system includes motion sensing and numerous alarm inputs and outputs.

Remote View Communications President Thomas J. Lang stated ¡§ We are most pleased at the success of our recent demonstration which would not have been possible without the assistance of our partners. We believe that this demonstrated a practical solution to the need for better in-flight aircraft safety and security, which can be currently implemented. We will be pursuing meetings with both the DOT and FAA with our partners to further demonstrate our systems capability and features. Remote View Communications Chief Technology Officer Jorge Nunez added ¡§ The system consist of several digital cameras hidden throughout the aircraft and cockpit transmitting sound and color video images to a six inch color display in the cockpit. Simultaneously the feed from all cameras is being digitally compressed and recorded on the aircraft and available for transmission to a ground based storage medium. While the live feed can be available to airline operations personnel by dialing into the aircraft, the pilot can also send live video, voice and data to ground based viewers securely when conditions warrant ,as in an emergency. Authorized ground based personnel viewing over our Flight View Central site can identify aircraft, receive alarms, and instantly select live video from any camera on the aircraft for viewing and recording..
