Optibase, Ltd., a provider of advanced digital video solutions, today announced that it will attend Infocomm 2006, June 7-9 in Orlando, Fla. and present its high-availability IP and digital video solutions for enterprise, distance learning and military markets, including live demonstrations of advanced video solutions for homeland security applications.

Optibase's extensive range of streaming gateways and MPEG encoders/decoders are widely deployed in advanced video streaming solutions worldwide.

Video streaming is a crucial communication tool at the office, for training and in the classroom. In addition, Optibase's carrier grade, 24X7, multi-format streaming and logging platforms can transform the way security agencies and military organizations retrieve, monitor and analyze live audio-visual information - greatly extending their intelligence gathering capabilities.

"The need for video transmission over networks is ubiquitous, whether its surveillance for homeland security, streaming video in the boardroom, sending training materials directly to employee's desktops, even covering audio/visual needs in places of worship," said Adam Schadle, president of Optibase Inc. and vice president of North American sales.

"Optibase was one of the first DVB over IP products as an early IPTV product for TV contribution feeds over long haul IP networks, and since then has established a track record of success in all of these various markets, illustrating our strong integration capabilities and video quality."

Demonstrations at the Optibase booth (3702) will include a live video transmission over IP technology, showing how security and defense forces can extend their use of digital video in unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs) and land-based remote controlled solutions. The Optibase solution is in use by a major Air Force to provide a system that generates superior-quality aerial pictures in real-time.

Optibase provides an innovative solution, utilizing MPEG encoding and streaming over IP to significantly enhance air-to-ground video communication.

Through the use of advanced video compression and processing, video streaming over IP networks and sophisticated analysis and retrieval tools, military and government command and control centers can have full visibility and control in critical missions and life threatening situations allowing them to make real time decisions and respond immediately.
