Excelerate specialises in delivering mission-critical technology solutions that help organisations operate smarter, faster, and safer. By working closely with frontline teams, they develop tailored products that enhance situational awareness and operational effectiveness. The Exstream UAV Streamer is one such innovation. It is a wearable, lightweight video streaming system designed to provide secure, real-time video feeds from drones and other devices. This empowers teams to make informed decisions quickly and confidently in dynamic environments.

The Challenge: Making Exstream Truly Portable

With a clear demand from specialist ops teams for mobility and flexibility, Excelerate designed Exstream to be slim, lightweight, and highly versatile. It can ‘plug and play’ with a wide range of camera and video technologies. This allows teams to stream high-quality video securely while on the move. However, to achieve true portability, the system needed a dependable and continuous power source, without adding unnecessary weight or complexity.

The Solution: Tracer LiPo Battery Packs

To meet this need, Excelerate integrated Tracer 12v 22Ah lithium polymer battery packs into their Exstream Backpack solution. Tracer’s compact, hot-swappable batteries deliver consistent power to the Exstream unit. This enables uninterrupted operation during critical missions.
Users can swap batteries on the go without powering down the system. This is a vital feature for time-sensitive operations where every second counts. The result is a rugged, ready-to-deploy streamer that’s as mobile and agile as the teams using it.
With secure, real-time video streaming capabilities and seamless integration with technologies like facial recognition and video management software, Exstream powered by Tracer is a game-changer. It benefits any team requiring reliable, on-the-go situational awareness.

The use of drones has become an essential tool for policing in South Wales. Excelerate’s UAV Streamer has become a valuable addition to our operational toolkit which is enabling us to respond more effectively as it provides us with a secure and reliable way to access and share aerial footage in real-time
