Reticulate Micro Announces 2024 Year in Review and Introduces 2025 Strategic Vision

Company unveils key accomplishments, new product roadmap, and a platform-based approach to meet growing video and data demands worldwide

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Reticulate Micro, Inc. (OTCQB: RMXI) ("Reticulate Micro," "we," or the "Company"), a software products company specializing in advanced video compression and streaming solutions, today published its 2024 Year in Review and 2025 Company & Product Strategy.  This detailed report highlights the Company's transformational year, underscores the success of its breakthrough VAST (Video Adaptive Systems Technology) platform, and sets forth an ambitious roadmap that reaffirms Reticulate Micro's commitment to serving both government and commercial markets.

A Transformational 2024

Reticulate Micro's 2024 was defined by rapid technological advancements and rigorous market validation of its flagship VAST platform. Originally developed for government and defense applications, VAST delivered high-impact results in ultra-low-bandwidth environments, enabling real-time video where traditional solutions fail. Multiple military exercises and test events (over 20 in 2024) have proven VAST's ability to stream video on any communication band, including narrow-band SATCOM, L-Band and even legacy HF networks where streaming video was thought to be unviable. This highlights the capabilities of VAST as a mission-critical technology in the government sector. 

During this pivotal year, Reticulate Micro also commenced a Regulation A offering and applied to quote its shares of Class A Common Stock on the OTCQB® Venture Market. Trading is expected to begin in January 2025 under the symbol "RMXI."

Introducing Andy Sheppard as CEO

A key component of Reticulate Micro's forward momentum is the appointment of Andy Sheppard as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Sheppard brings more than four decades of experience spanning special operations, government, commercial, and specialized communications arenas. His expertise in rapidly scaling transformative technologies sets the stage for Reticulate Micro's transition from a development-focused entity to a globally oriented products company.

"As we move into 2025, our primary objective is to execute on the immense potential of VAST," said Mr. Sheppard. "Our immediate focus is enabling broad market adoption, both in government and commercial sectors, in a way that empowers our partners and significantly expands the boundaries of what's possible with video."

2025: A Platform Approach and Strategic Expansion

Reticulate Micro's 2025 strategy centers on partner-focused growth and a platform-centric product roadmap:

1.         Government Sector Partnership & OEM Integration

• Strategic Partner Program: The Company is launching a comprehensive integration program enabling partners and system integrators to embed VAST technology directly into their product lines and existing government contract vehicles.
• Major Exercises & Evaluations: VAST has already been validated within U.S. Special Operations, multiple U.S. Army and Naval initiatives, and a range of international defense programs. This year's schedule includes high-profile exercises with U.S. SOCOM, Army, and Navy, as well as several invitations specifically created for VAST testing and evaluation.

2.         Commercial Scale via Joint Venture (RMX and CRISP)

• Global Managed Services: Reticulate Micro partnered with K2 Endeavor DMCC to form RMX, a joint venture company building upon VAST and branded as "CRISP" (Compressed Rate Intelligent Streaming Protocol) for commercial and enterprise verticals—from telecommunications to security camera networks.
• Recurring Revenue Model: RMX's global managed service structure is designed to offer predictable, long-term revenue while solving critical video-delivery challenges for enterprise customers.

3.         Expanded Product Suite

• VAST Video Encoder: The core software-based video encoder product will see the addition of key features including audio, KLV metadata support, video tele-conferencing, and region of interest encoding.
• VAST Vue: Cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Android, iOS) video player for seamless end-to-end experiences, including support for tactical metadata.
• VAST SDK: Development tools and APIs for advanced integration of core VAST capabilities into partner products and solutions.
• VAST VUDO: An advanced combination of VAST's video streaming capabilities with advanced mapping and sensor data integration to provide enhanced situational awareness in disconnected and austere environments.
• VAST Cloud: VAST-as-a-Service cloud offering for enterprise solutions, including live streaming, transcoding and VOD (video on demand) services.

Positioned for Growth and Shareholder Value

With multiple government validations, a strong pipeline of prospective customers, and an ambitious product roadmap, Reticulate Micro expects significant milestones in 2025, including a potential uplisting to a national securities exchange.

"We are on track to deliver not only breakthrough technology but also tangible commercial success," said Chief Technology Officer John Dames. "By keeping VAST at the center of our offerings, we're building on a unified platform that solves pervasive challenges for government and enterprise clients alike."
