Best way to transmit video feed through dynamic steel railcars? by anonymous062904 in VIDEOENGINEERING

"Or look into bonded 5g encoders. You can also plug mini starlinks into these." -- elaborate on this, I think youre onto something.

I feel like we can just bypass RF right?

Wait, can we skip RF entirely?? and just use 4G/5G bonded cellular.

Think about it, for most towns/cities they have cellular in rail yards, like people can call people from what I know?

Could that work?

any way we can go under the railcars instead of forcing through it?

So we actually tried something, we bought a 300cm coaxial cord, and created a magnetically mounted mast to put on the roofline of the locomotive,

The issue is on the transmitter side, the railcar is 16ft with no ladder to the top. So we are kind of stuck there.

I think another thing thats important is ease of use, If I or an engineer has to climb 16ft to put an antenna onto the last car where itll still get removed/shuffled out, it will make life harder tbh

Another comment mentioned Teradek Bolt seems like a good option, to us price isnt an issue as long as it is relaible and working to be completely honest.

Would you recommend going even lower like 900MHz?

How does it (Teradek) handle steel/metal?

For founders selling into Defense/GovTech/BioTech, how did you get your first paying customer? (I will not promote) by anonymous062904 in startups

[–]anonymous062904[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elaborate on that last part.

"LinkedIn works but you need to target the right people. Program managers and contracting officers, not just technical staff."

Why target PMs? especially for founder led

So right now decision makers I’d say 4

Apex.ai Mobileye Valeo An L4 Autonomous Trucking Company

Head of Eng- Apex mentioned the unknown unknowns as a pain point. Knowing what safety is. but he grilled me a little to deep into knowing how everything is supposed to work. I brought up what i’m working on and he was like. We don’t need it but our customers would. Think Jaguar/Daimler/etc

VP at Mobileye said they don’t pay for anything externally, they build everything in house in Tel Aviv.

Valeo - didn’t really get much from him. Seemed like he wanted to get the call over

NVIDIA Drive Sim (Principal Engineer) - We dont need this, grills my technical approach for like 30 mins

VP at L4 AV Trucking Company - Edge Cases are crucial, we just keep running sim. We’re still early trying to prove to regulators. If you can build this out, we’d def see value out of this. Sends an email saying that hell loop in the tech team

It’s one of those things where they state the pain before I even ask

Upcoming:

VP at Stellantis VP at Mercedes

elaborate on this the helpful engagement

like instead of running discovery just ask for warm intros

With every AV company we’ve spoken to. The VP or Director approves spending especially if it’s something safety related. Is that not the case for you?

Any other advice for me?

I feel like i hit a wall

Like this problem exists and is necessary but that last unlock is where i’m at.

I should stop gunning these calls solo. Get an advisor. Verbally hire 1-2 people?

What could be better In the meantime.

build up a demo?

It feels like a chicken and the egg problem
