MALVERN, Pa. & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 23, 2026--
Rajant Health Incorporated (RHI) and Videosoft Global today announced an expanded partnership to advance the Cowbell platform, introducing enhanced “Flying Cowbell” capabilities that enable scalable video intelligence across highly mobile and bandwidth-constrained environments.

This collaboration combines RHI Cowbell’s distributed edge execution fabric, spanning compute, data, and mesh-agnostic networking, with Videosoft’s ultra-efficient video streaming and processing technology. Together, they enable video to operate as a scalable, first-class workload across dynamic, multi-domain systems, rather than as a constrained network burden.
Built on Rajant’s core Kinetic Mesh® networking platform, RHI extends these capabilities with distributed compute and AI at the edge.
From Connectivity to Distributed Edge Execution
Cowbell is architected as a distributed edge platform, where applications, data, and compute operate across a cluster of heterogeneous nodes spanning ground, maritime, and aerial systems.
With RHI’s “Flying Cowbell,” mobile assets, including uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), act as active participants in a distributed compute and data fabric, not simply as network endpoints or relays.
Key capabilities include:
This architecture enables systems to maintain operational continuity and decision-making capability under constraint, including contested or infrastructure-denied environments.
Enabling Video as a Scalable Workload at the Tactical Edge
At scale, video is one of the most demanding workloads in distributed systems, often saturating available bandwidth and limiting deployments.
Through this integration with Cowbell, Videosoft’s streaming technology enables:
Integrating Videosoft into Cowbell, removes a primary bottleneck, where video transitions from a network bottleneck to a fast-deployable scalable sensing and intelligence capability, delivering real-time insight across distributed operations.
Extending Execution into Mobility-Native Distributed Systems
“Flying Cowbell” represents a shift from static infrastructure to mobility-native distributed systems, where aerial, maritime, and ground assets collectively form a unified compute and sensing fabric.
This enables:
The system is designed to operate under disconnected, degraded, intermittent, or limited (DDIL) conditions, maintaining continuity through distributed state, adaptive routing, and store-and-forward data pipelines. This approach extends the entire compute and data fabric into motion.
Supporting Multi-Domain Operations
The combined solution supports mission-critical applications including:
“Cowbell was designed as a distributed execution layer at the edge, not just connectivity,” said Robert J. Schena, CEO of RHI. “With ‘Flying Cowbell,’ we’re extending that execution fabric into mobile systems, so applications and data move with the mission.”
“Video is one of the hardest workloads to scale in constrained environments,” said Stewart McCone, CEO of Videosoft Global. “Together, we’re enabling reliable, scalable video without overwhelming the network.”
Built for Integration + Scale with Open and Extensible Architecture
The joint solution is designed for interoperability and future growth, supporting:
Together, Rajant Health and Videosoft Global are establishing a foundation for scalable, distributed, data-driven operations, where sensing, compute, and communication function as a unified system.
