Fully Offline Operation on Classified & Air-Gapped Networks

Defense and government environments demand strict deployment flexibility. Wowza uses a disconnected licensing model, requiring only an initial internet connection—then operating fully offline on any network, indefinitely.

  • Disconnected licensing — internet required only for initial activation
  • Fully offline operation on any network, indefinitely
  • Supports classified deployments, Kubernetes clusters, and forward-deployed edge sites
  • RTSP, MPEG-TS, SRT, WebRTC, UDP protocol support

Validated on classified architectures, maintaining full functionality in the most restrictive air-gapped environments.

System Integration

How Wowza Fits Into Your Government & Defense Technology Stack

Defense and government programs rely on streaming infrastructure that must operate in environments commercial platforms were never designed for—classified networks, air-gapped sites, forward-deployed bases, and strict signal format requirements.

Wowza acts as the media layer that connects it all. While preserving existing equipment and infrastructure, it modernizes video workflows through REST APIs and modular integrations, connecting command systems, analytics engines, intelligence platforms, and operational dashboards.
