Rami Shmueli, RT and AERO-T’s CEO: “We are happy to expose our cooperation with Beeper, and to announce that Beeper’s IE-5000 will be integrated in all the SkyStar aerostat systems from now on. The ability to transmit live video stream from the aerostat will be useful for many of our clients, as in case of an emergency, an ongoing security incident or a mass-casualty incident, commanders in the field as well as at the headquarters will be able to connect and watch the video transmitted from the aerostat on real-time. I believe that this is a real game changer that will allow better activation of the forces at real-time, and I am happy to expose this new capability at Eurosatory”.
