Reflecting on 2024 at Reticulate Micro

Reticulate Micro, Inc., recognized on the OTCQB under the ticker RMXI, has recently shared its comprehensive Year in Review for 2024, as well as its strategic vision for 2025. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, the company specializes in advanced video compression and streaming solutions, showcasing a successful year driven by significant technological advancements.

A Transformational 2024

The year 2024 marked a pivotal moment for Reticulate Micro. Although primarily focused on government applications, the company’s Video Adaptive Systems Technology (VAST) platform achieved remarkable success, proving to deliver exceptional performance in ultra-low-bandwidth situations, where traditional methods traditionally falter. Throughout the year, over 20 military exercises validated the VAST platform, demonstrating its capacity to stream video seamlessly over various communication bands including SATCOM and legacy HF networks. This capability solidifies VAST's status as a mission-critical solution in defense.

Amid these developments, Reticulate Micro has also initiated a Regulation A offering and aimed to list Class A Common Stock shares on the OTCQB Venture Market, anticipated to commence in January 2025. This move is expected to expand the company’s market outreach significantly.

Leadership Change: Welcome Andy Sheppard

Reticulate Micro’s growth trajectory is further supported by the appointment of Andy Sheppard as the new CEO. With an extensive background in special operations, government, and commercial communications, Sheppard's experience positions him well to steer the company from a development-centered organization towards a global products company.

“As we embark on 2025, our primary aim is to maximize the potential of the VAST technology,” stated Sheppard, emphasizing the commitment to not only increase market adoption but also to empower partners and explore new horizons in video technology.

Strategic Expansion for 2025

The new strategic roadmap for 2025 highlights a platform-centric approach conducive to partnerships and innovation, mapped out as follows:

1. Government Sector Partnerships
- OEM Integration: A new strategic partner program is set to allow system integrators to incorporate VAST technology into their existing government contracts.
- Major Exercise Evaluations: VAST has already proven itself in U.S. Special Operations and various other military initiatives. Upcoming high-profile evaluations are planned for the year.

2. Commercial Expansion via Joint Ventures
- Global Managed Services: A collaboration with K2 Endeavor DMCC has led to the establishment of RMX, targeting various enterprise sectors, including telecommunications and security networking under the brand CRISP (Compressed Rate Intelligent Streaming Protocol).
- Sustainable Revenue Generation: RMX aims to build a reliable revenue model while addressing critical challenges in video delivery across enterprise environments.

3. Expanded Product Suite
- VAST will see new features including support for video teleconferencing and enhanced audio capabilities. The cross-platform VAST Vue video player will enrich the user experience by providing support for tactical metadata.
- Additionally, the introduction of a Software Development Kit (SDK) will enable further integrations of VAST capabilities into partners’ products.
- A unique offering, VAST VUDO, will merge video streaming with advanced mapping data, improving situational awareness in complex environments.
- The inclusion of VAST Cloud will provide comprehensive enterprise solutions like live streaming and Video on Demand services.

Reticulate Micro is well-positioned for substantial growth as it heads into 2025, underpinned by government validations and a robust customer pipeline. Upcoming milestones include a potential uplisting to a national exchange, indicating strong commercial viability.

CTO John Dames remarked, “By maintaining VAST as our focal offering, we are creating a cohesive platform that addresses extensive needs for both government and enterprise clients.”
