Skyline Enables Statewide Video Sharing for the Texas Department of Transportation

Baltimore, MD — October 27, 2021 — Skyline Technology Solutions (Skyline) announced today that it has been awarded a 3-year contract to implement the Skyline Claris video sharing and interoperability solution across all 25 districts in Texas. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) awarded Skyline the contract after a successful pilot program.

TxDOT maintains thousands of traffic cameras throughout the state that are typically owned and operated by the TxDOT district in which they reside. These cameras are often able to broadcast live, real-time video, however that standard broadcast approach is bandwidth intensive. Due to this bandwidth constraint, and the unpredictable nature of camera streams (different models of cameras with different resolution settings) TxDOT had previously restricted sharing of camera data to still images, updated every 30 seconds. Still images limit the situational awareness of TxDOT and TxDOT partners required to respond to traffic incidents, planned event management, and most importantly, emergency situations. Skyline’s Claris real-time video solution will change all of this for TxDOT.

“Skyline is pleased to continue our partnership with TxDOT to provide improved situational awareness across the state. We know this is crucial for ensuring public safety and enhancing the flow of goods and services” said Mia Millette, Chief Executive Officer, Skyline Technology Solutions.

The Skyline Claris solution provides web-based access to video content virtually anywhere. Whether out in the field, a government office, or in the police command center, Claris Portal provides a flexible interface to securely view and manage multiple video streams from various systems and networks. Claris Portal provides organizations with the ability to manage and quickly onboard partner agencies. All participating agencies/partners can view cameras based upon their access rights through a common portal, with no client software requirements or additional licensing fees.
