What Harvest Technology Group does

Harvest Technology Group is an Australian-listed defence and industrial technology company that develops and owns the Nodestream platform — a proprietary, ultra-resilient, low-bitrate streaming system that delivers real-time video, audio and data over degraded, congested or contested networks. The technology operates from bitrates as low as 8 kbps with up to 90% bandwidth reduction and is engineered to survive sustained packet loss of up to 40%, using a 100% sovereign software stack and Gimli-384 + AES-256 end-to-end encryption that is air-gap capable and bearer-agnostic across SATCOM, LTE, terrestrial and line-of-sight networks. The product portfolio spans a proprietary protocol, a hardware family (Nano, Rugged, Flex, Nodecom) designed and built in Perth, Western Australia, the Nodester Control System for device management, the NODESTREAM browser and Windows applications, NodestreamLive (SaaS point-to-cloud streaming), NodestreamX (point-to-point licensing), and downloadable mobile/desktop apps distributed via Apple, Google and Microsoft stores.

The company sells into two primary segments: a commercial base in maritime, offshore energy and resources (named customers include Ocean Infinity, Fugro, TechnipFMC, INPEX, Exxon, Boskalis, and Cyan), and — increasingly — defence and military organisations requiring assured communications for C4ISR, unmanned systems (USV/UGV/UAV/ROV), ISR feeds, and coalition interoperability. Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales, recurring SaaS subscriptions, one-time software licensing, professional services, and managed on-premise deployments; pricing is custom and contract-based for enterprise and government buyers, with multi-year contract cadence.

The business is in an active international expansion phase. In 2025–2026 Harvest signed an exclusive MENATISA reseller agreement with Pyxis Controls, an MoU with Annex Digital for joint government/defence tendering (triggering a ~21% share-price move), permanently engaged a Washington, D.C.-based national security consulting firm under its Plan Consilience defence sector strategy, completed a 6.5 million AUD institutional placement in June 2026, and appointed former Raytheon Australia executive Veronica Bainton as CEO effective June 1, 2026, alongside Dr. Oleksandra Molloy as Defence Strategic Advisor for Europe. The company is listed on the ASX (HTG) and trades on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange Open Market (FRA: FTE).

Core offering

Harvest Technology Group sells the proprietary Nodestream™ platform — an ultra-resilient, low-bitrate streaming system that delivers unified audio, video, and data transmission from as low as 8 kbps over degraded, congested, or contested networks. The offering combines the proprietary Nodestream™ Protocol, a family of edge hardware encoders (Nano, Rugged, Flex, Nodecom), and software products (Nodester, NODESTREAM™ browser platform, Windows Application, NodestreamLive™ SaaS, NodestreamX™) with 384-bit encryption and air-gap deployability. Customers are defence, maritime, energy, and infrastructure operators needing reliable situational awareness and remote control in bandwidth-constrained environments.

Product overview

Harvest Technology Group offers the Nodestream™ platform — a proprietary ultra-resilient, low-bitrate streaming ecosystem for survivable audio, video, and data transmission in bandwidth-constrained and contested environments. The portfolio comprises the core Nodestream™ Protocol (the proprietary communication layer), paired with a family of hardware interfaces (Nano, Rugged, Flex, Nodecom) that encode/decode signals at the edge, and software products including the Nodester Control System (device management), NODESTREAM™ browser platform, NODESTREAM™ Windows Application, NodestreamLive™ (SaaS point-to-cloud streaming), NodestreamX™ (point-to-point streaming), and Nodestream™ Apps (mobile/desktop downloads). This unified platform-ecosystem approach enables customers to deploy resilient streaming across defence, maritime, energy, and commercial operations.
