Company profile
researched Sep 2026AnsuR Technologies AS develops software for communicating high-precision photos, video clips and live video streaming over bandwidth-constrained radio and satellite networks. The company positions its products for mission-critical use cases where remote high-resolution image sensors are limited by available network capacity, slow transfer speeds and high bandwidth cost, and where accurate, timely visual information supports decision-making.
Its product line includes ASIGN, an interactive photo and video communication solution that the company states can save up to 99% of bandwidth; UN-ASIGN, used for collecting and communicating geo-tagged photos, videos and assessment forms from the field for emergency and disaster management; UAV-ASIGN, which supports photos and video from smaller line-of-sight drones using smartphone-based control stations; and ASMIRA, a receiver-driven video streaming product that supports HD live video at 200 kbps and operation over satellite or terrestrial networks at 100 kbps and lower. The software runs across edge devices from smartphones and PCs to embedded Linux platforms, with back-end infrastructure hosted in the cloud or on customer private servers, and APIs and SDKs offered for integration into customized solutions.
AnsuR's applications make use of satellite positioning for geo-tagging, satellite communication for transfer from remote locations, and serve as an in-situ component for satellite earth observation. The company states it has led or participated in several international innovation projects addressing high-resolution multimedia communication over unknown, bandwidth-limited networks.

Market position
AnsuR describes itself as an award-winning provider of low-bandwidth visual communication software, citing several innovation awards and endorsements from a former president of Inmarsat Global Government and a brigadier general involved in United Nations and EU Civil Protection humanitarian operations.
The company's stated differentiators are proprietary protocols that cut photo and video bandwidth requirements by up to 99%, a receiver-driven streaming model that lets the recipient control what visual information is transmitted, support for HD video at rates under 100 kbps, and deployment flexibility across smartphones, PCs and embedded Linux with cloud or private-server infrastructure.
Technology
The company uses proprietary software protocols that allow full-precision photo and video content to be communicated using substantially less bandwidth than traditional methods, with claimed savings of up to 99% for photo and video communication. ASIGN provides interactive selection of relevant high-resolution visual content, while ASMIRA is receiver-driven: the video receiver selects framerate, resolution and regions of interest, enabling HD video transmission at data rates under 100 kbps. Supported edge platforms range from smartphones and PCs to embedded Linux devices.
Go-to-market
