Max-Viz provides Enhanced Vision Systems (EVS) that penetrate fog, haze, smoke and the darkness of night, improving situational awareness - and therefore safety - for aircraft operators. The company's mission is to increase safety for all civilian and military aviation. EVS is an infrared-based system that detects differences in heat instead of light as a video camera would. Because it is not based on light, it works equally well in darkness, smoke, smog, haze and other visibility obscurants in the atmosphere. Max-Viz is unique in the industry in shipping uncooled-EVS systems: conventional systems are cryogenically cooled, and keep the detector very cold in order to notice small temperature differences. Max-Viz's patented systems use uncooled microbolometers, and thus are smaller, lighter and more reliable, with the same or better performance.

The A1cNOW technology is an advanced, miniaturized photo-optical system that is single-use and provides immediate results.

Myrio sells software and hardware to telephone companies (telcos) that enable the delivery of digital video, television and video on demand, over an IP network infrastructure.
