StreamCaster 4200 radio by Silvus Technologies selected by MILREM

The StreamCaster 4200 (SC4200) radio by Silvus Technologies was recently selected by MILREM, a manufacturer of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) based in Estonia. MILREM will integrate the SC4200 onto the Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry System (THeMIS) platform. THeMIS UGV is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platform. It assists with target acquisition, logistics support, and other missions. The SC4200 serves as the datalink, providing wireless command/control and video. It pairs with high performance antennas to allow the THeMIS to drive extended ranges, and push video and data communication farther than before. “Silvus is offering rugged and high quality MIMO radios which have proven to provide reliable wireless video and data communication over extended range,” said Rivo Opik, MILREM’s Chief Engineer.  “The technical support and guidance from the Silvus team has been quick and very effective.” SC4200 2x2 MIMO radio features transmit beamforming which nearly doubles the signal range. The ability to significantly extend range is why MILREM choose the SC4200 for the THeMIS. Companies purchasing the THeMIS can control, one, two or an entire fleet of these UGVs. In addition, users can monitor what is happening using a real-time, live HD-video feed from the Silvus radios.  

About Silvus Technologies

Silvus created its StreamCaster series of Mobile Networked (MN) MIMO radios to enable military-grade wireless video, data and voice communications in the most extreme situations. The ability to create an ad hoc, self-forming/self-healing mesh network is essential for the dynamic tactical operations. This powerful method of wireless connectivity is a natural fit for UGVs, and in particular, for several major US Military UGV programs where stringent performance requirements dictate the use of advanced communication techniques. MILREM serves a variety of customers in the defense and commercial industry. Shop Silvus’ line of MIMO radios at Unmanned Systems Source.

Silvus to release SC4400 MIMO Radio designed for unmanned system applications

SC4400 MIMO RadioSilvus Technologies is preparing to showcase its new StreamCaster 4400 radio at the upcoming AUVSI XPONENTIAL show in Dallas, TX. The SC4400 is a 4×4 MIMO radio designed for unmanned systems applications. It transmits high-definition video, data and communications at near zero latency over long distances. Also, it can deploy as a point-to-point data link or as part of a comprehensive, self forming/self healing mesh network. And it intelligently optimizes signal transmission in both line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight operations.  

SC4400 Mimo Radio

The SC4400 MIMO Radio utilizes four antennas for true 4×4 MIMO. It comes equipped with standard connections including: Ethernet, USB, Push-To-Talk voice, RS-232 and a Wi-Fi port for connecting a phone, tablet or laptop to access the StreamScape user interface. This comprehensive network manager allows users to monitor signal strength, data rates and radio stats, and to test links and make adjustments. The spectrum scan diagnostic tool enables the user to analyze the available range of frequencies and select a channel that is free of interference. An embedded mapping display also enables nodes to be tracked in real time, providing a bird’s eye view of the entire system. “The StreamCaster 4400 delivers a significant increase in range and overall robustness, making it a great fit for larger aircraft,” said Silvus Technologies Director of Sales, Kasey Cooper. “Our existing StreamCaster 4200 radio is also getting an upgrade with dual band capability, providing the ability to tune across two disparate bands for maximum reliability in a smaller form-factor. Together, the StreamCaster 4200 and the more powerful StreamCaster 4400 can combine to optimize video, command and control and bi-directional data transmission for UAVs of any size, in any range.”  

About Silvus Technologies

Silvus Technologies develops military-grade Mobile Networked MIMO (MN-MIMO) waveform technology, which comprises the core of the SC4400 MIMO Radio. Its distinctive beam-forming ability boosts signal strength, reducing power consumption while increasing overall range. Silvus claims that the SC4400 is the world’s first tactical MIMO radio to employ 4×4 MIMO transmit beam-forming, an advanced method of signal processing that is capable of doubling transmission distance reach. MIMO’s tenacious ability to bounce off obstacles and reroute signals also features prominently in the SC4400. “We’ll be performing live demos on the show floor to give just a small taste of the kind of wireless connectivity we can achieve,” added Cooper. “We’ll be showing how our StreamCaster radios operate with the latest UAVs and subsystems from Overwatch, Latitude and Isensys, to name a few.” If you're attending XPONENTIAL, stop by booth 518 to watch Silvus Technologies demo the SC4400. And make sure you stop and visit Unmanned Systems Source at booth 325. You can shop Silvus' line of MIMO radios at Unmanned Systems Source.
