Reticulate Micro Inc. announced that it has concluded a week-long demonstration showcasing its cutting-edge VAST™ video compression and streaming technology and advanced communication capabilities to senior defense officials from the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Department of National Defense (DND) and other federal homeland defense agencies.

The demonstrations were strategically designed to enhance the resilience of the communications infrastructure for the Philippines, the U.S.'s oldest treaty ally in Asia. The PCG stated that it is seeking to modernize its command-and-control network to effectively counteract escalating threats from Chinese forces in the South China Sea, thereby improving response times and operational coordination for both maritime and land-based defense and border security applications.

“The demonstrations were successful, with our systems working even in the middle of a typhoon. The customer was impressed. We built a lot of trust with the PCG and DND,” said Joshua Cryer, president and chief executive officer of Reticulate Micro.

The company’s demonstrations highlighted an integrated ecosystem designed to fast-track the modernization of the Philippines' communications infrastructure.

“By modernizing the PCG’s communications infrastructure for secure voice, video and data, we will provide a common operational picture of the maritime environment,” explained Emil Reynolds, senior director of business development at Reticulate Micro and former U.S. Army Ranger.

The demonstrations showcased Reticulate’s VAST™ platform, which enables real-time HD video transmission over limited bandwidth connections, and Himera G1 Pro tactical radios. Himera G1 Pro tactical radios have been proven in field use in Ukraine, demonstrating their functionality and reliability in highly contested environments. These radios are designed to perform under the most challenging conditions, providing secure, resilient communication capabilities that are essential for mission success.

Reticulate Micro serves as the authorized reseller and integrator for Himera G1 Pro tactical radios for U.S. and allied militaries. With a team experienced in supporting the U.S. Special Operations Community, NATO and major government and commercial satellite providers, Reticulate Micro excels in identifying and addressing capability gaps through innovative technology solutions to accomplish the mission.
