The Wave Relay Ecosystem is a group of industry-leading partner companies designing their product and systems to operate on a common fabric of connectivity. The Wave Relay MANET is the common network with the scalability and speed to enable the AI, edge computing, and data fusion necessary to accomplish their missions. The Wave Relay Ecosystem is a group of industry-leading partner companies building a common fabric of connectivity to empower warfighters.
Warfighters carry an MPU5, which allows them to connect to and view live data streams from any unmanned system or sensor on the fabric of connectivity using a single device - warfighters no longer need to carry dedicated devices for each unmanned platform and sensor.
Ecosystem partners integrate either an MPU5 or Embedded Module, which ties their system into the fabric of connectivity. If the RF Module is accessible, users may swap RF bands to use the same platform in different regions or for different mission sets.
In the networked battlefield of the future, the warfighter can choose the platform that works best for their mission, and it will communicate with their other gear – even platforms from other companies – off the shelf. Because unmanned systems and sensors are on a common fabric of connectivity, they can collaborate and eliminate monitoring endless loops of raw data. Warfighters can leverage AI, edge computing, and data fusion to make quicker, more informed decisions.
For over a decade, we have partnered with key technology providers to turn the vision of a unified battlefield network into a reality. There are over 100,000 Wave Relay devices in service.
