Semtech Video Compression

Reliable video streaming even over weak networks, with data reduction of up to 90%, while maintaining video quality for analytics and evidence.​

Cost-effective, reliable video transmission over cellular
— finally possible

Semtech Video Compression, powered by Digital Barriers, is a robust low-bandwidth mobile video streaming solution designed for mission critical-critical video surveillance and analytics.

By combining Digital Barriers’ patented AI-powered video compression technology, EdgeVis, with Semtech’s reliable Smart Connectivity and AirLink XR60 5G routers in an integrated solution, organizations can now stream high-quality video over cellular networks using up to 90% less data, without compromising video quality or security.

No throttling. No surprise bills. Just reliable, cost-effective video transmission—from urban centers to remote sites.

Why Semtech Video Compression

Always-on Video Streaming

Digital Barriers' patented AI compression, EdgeVis, with built-in resiliency and error recovery — delivers analytics-grade video even in poor network conditions. Smart Connectivity offers reliable connection with its intelligent multi-carrier SIM and data plan with no throttling.​

Predictable Data Costs

Reduce data usage by up to 90% with no compression license fees. Deploy as many cameras as you need and pay only for the data plan. Tailor made bundles combine connectivity and compression into one monthly cost — no bill shock.​

One Partner, End-to-end

The EdgeVis AI CODEC comes embedded in the edge device (AirLink® XR60 5G router or NUC) and paired with the Smart Connectivity SIM — ready to deploy, managed through a single platform with a single point of support.

How Video Compression works

1. Compress

Standard IP cameras connect to the EdgeVis Encoder embedded in the XR60 5G router, a NUC (Next Unit of Computing), or an existing edge device. AI compression reduces bandwidth by up to 90% at the source.

2. Transmit & Manage

Compressed video streams securely through 600+ partner networks to the EdgeVis server, even in weak-signal environments. Manage devices and SIMs via AirVantage®, and access live video through the EdgeVis client from anywhere.

3. View & Analyze

Access video through your VMS or AI/ML analytics platform, and use EdgeVis to retrieve critical video details for analysis or evidential use.
