Why bespoke compression?
Standard codecs weren't designed for space. See how Nexcope's purpose-built compression outperforms off-the-shelf alternatives.
Applications
From LEO constellations to precision agriculture — purpose-built for the mission.
Earth Observation
High-revisit satellite constellations generating terabytes of imagery daily. Nexcope compresses data at the source, cutting downlink costs by an order of magnitude.
How It Works
Capture
High-resolution sensors capture raw multi-spectral imagery in orbit, preparing high-fidelity payloads for immediate onboard processing.
Compress
The onboard hardware engine applies bespoke compression algorithms in real time, achieving an ultra-efficient 80x compression ratio housed within a compact 0.5U form factor. The exact ratio is configurable based on mission requirements, from lossless to maximum lossy.
Transmit
Processed data is downlinked at a fraction of the original bandwidth, enabling seamless edge-deployed transmission over highly constrained communication links.
Reconstruct
The ground station client reconstructs the data streams with preserved fidelity, yielding sub-meter precision for analytical applications.

Actual Edge Test Results
Grayscale Image Compression
In this experiment, a live image has been captured of high resolution (3000 x 4000 pixels) of size 12.20 MB; and compressed 80 times to a size of 150 kB. The compressed format is later reconstructed to full image resolution (3000 x 4000) and displayed side by side for visual comparison.

Colored Video Compression
In this experiment, Ultra Compression has been used on colored video feed coming from a High-Resolution Webcam (1024x1024). Evidently, the latency is acceptable and the reconstruction after ultra compression does not affect details and the integrity of video is maintained.

Image Compression & Wireless Transmission
In this experiment, an Image has been acquired on the on-board computer, compressed to 80 times and transmitted over 435MHz (UHF) at 675kHz bandwidth. The image is reconstructed to full resolution at the base station. Previously, this would require an S-Band communication system. This proves that Nexcope's Technology can transform bulk image transmissions for Aerial Vehicles limited on bandwidth.
