Solving Bandwidth
SCROLLWe’ll have infinite bandwidth in a decade’s time.
Bill Gates, 1994
The Problem

- Driven by internet video consumption and the proliferation of smartphones, global data traffic will increase nearly 3X over the next five years
- During this same period, bandwidth speeds are projected to increase by only 2X, resulting in a supply-demand imbalance
- A broad range of market sectors worldwide will be impacted by this imbalance
The Solution

- Stratus has developed a new approach to solving bandwidth constraints
- Stratus’s patented technology allows more data to flow through smaller pipes
- The benefits: higher resolutions, faster frame rates, wider reach, more accurate navigation, and faster, more efficient data flow
- Stratus works with partners to create solutions that allow them to pass along these benefits to their customers
Use Cases

- Many-to-one transmission: in the security sector, high-quality video from hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of cameras will be accessed efficiently at remote monitoring stations
- One-to-one transmission: smartphone apps will allow remote experts to diagnose and solve critical, time-sensitive problems by sending full-resolution videos using restricted cellular bandwidth
- One-to-many transmission: video services will stream theater-grade and/or immersive movies, TV series, live sports, and VR events to more homes for less money
Differentiators

- No other company uses the Stratus approach — or achieves its level of effectiveness
- Stratus does not simply optimize existing data compression approaches and does not discard data during transmission
- Stratus’s generalized solution delivers results for a wide range of markets and verticals
- Stratus’s intellectual property is patented and backed by Wilson Sonsini
Stratus IP

- Stratus worked in partnership with Wilson Sonsini’s IP lawyers to define a broad yet highly defensible patent strategy for Stratus
- Stratus’s first patent features 28 claims; additional claims and new, overlapping patents are now in development
- The patent has been filed with both the USPTO and the World Intellectual Property Organization; international filings are next up
- Stratus continues to work with Wilson Sonsini as its IP development partner
