Soliton Systems’ Zao SDK for Jeston is an OEM software library for manufacturers of teledriving, remote control cars and buses that require live streaming and remote control functionality. Based on Soliton’s RASCOW2 streaming protocol, the SDK provides highly reliable and extremely low latency live streaming, allowing remote drivers to view the exterior of the car and the road ahead in practically real-time, regardless of their location. The software also includes the control element for sending remote instructions back for remote control of the vehicle.
Moreover, the software can be customized for different cameras and can bond together a mixture of different network connections from multiple simultaneous cellular connections from different telecom operators over the public internet to ensure high reliability and security.
Soliton’s ZAO SDK and related products offer reliable and secure live streaming and remote control solutions for a variety of applications, including tele driving and vehicle remote control.
Features:
• OEM Software for live streaming and remote control for teledriving/remote driving of vehicles.
• Ultra low latency video streaming – from 35ms over a fixed line and 5G, 65ms over 4G.
• Highly reliable transmitter – bonding together multiple SIM cards.
• Supports fixed lines, Wi-fi and even satellite to a remote surgeon.
• AES 256 encryption.
• Video from 720p to 4K (PAL / NTSC).
• LAN tunnelling or serial tunnelling for remote driving control in real time.
• Adaptive encoding – live streams when there is minimal bitrate availability or network contention.
• Receiver software that can be customized – on-prem and MEC cloud versions available.
