VELO Video/Data Down Link and Distribution System

Serastar Technologies Corporation's VELO is a non line of sight, secure, global video/data down link and distribution system for the aviation market.

VELO, which is derived from the words Vehicle and hELOcopter, is a shoebox-sized network that takes video or data from any source, including helicopters, and relays it to any smart device through a feed. The company refers to VELO as a Single Tactical Information Distribution Network (STIDN).

VELO is a non-line of sight, secure LTE network that cannot be hacked, which Higman said is important for law enforcement operators. The network is currently being used by the U.S. Border Patrol.

While Serastar has been working a lot with the U.S. military, Higman said the VELO network meets Mil-Spec 810G standards. The VELO network is relatively easy to install and doesn’t require STC certification because it is a “bolt-on” box.
