Wave Relay® MANET

The Wave Relay® mobile ad hoc network (MANET) provides solid and reliable
wireless connectivity for deployed soldiers and vehicles. Wave Relay® is the
core focus of Persistent Systems and is unmatched by any other MANET.

Far surpassing typical mesh networks, Wave Relay® quickly adapts to

fluctuations in terrain and environmental conditions, rapidly re-routing data
and continuously working to maximise connectivity and performance.

Wave Relay’s® unlimited hopping without any master nodes extends the
network beyond the edge.

MIMO Technology

MPU5 uses Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) technology to deliver

extremely high bandwidth and extended link distances. With up to 100 Mbps
of actual user throughput, transferring high resolution imagery and HD video
allows for real-time information exchange and comprehensive situational
awareness.

MIMO’s reliability, versatility and high bandwidth makes it ideal for

blasting out necessary real-time information, such as GPS locations, maps,
reconnaissance video streams, and voice messages in complex urban,
subterranean, and maritime environments.
