RM-1700-22W — Multiband Wearable Mesh Rider Radio

Overview

The Doodle Labs RM-1700-22W is a multiband wearable Mesh Rider radio engineered specifically for tactical teams. Operating in the 915 MHz and 2450 MHz ISM bands, it delivers a high-speed, encrypted mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) for collaborative streaming of voice, video, and data over ranges up to 1 kilometer.

Technical Summary

• Operating Frequencies: 915 MHz (UHF) and 2450 MHz (S-Band) ISM
• Waveform: 2x2 MIMO COFDM, adaptive BPSK to 64QAM
• Throughput: Up to 80 Mbps (20 MHz channel)
• Encryption: 128-bit and 256-bit AES (FIPS 140-3 options available)
• Latency: 1.5-10 ms via Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Channel (URLLC)

Operational Use Cases

Designed for mission-critical deployments, this radio provides secure tactical communications and high-capacity data links. It features an optimized video streaming channel capable of handling 4K resolution, while the dedicated URLLC telemetry channel ensures uninterrupted Command and Control (C&C) connectivity. The unit seamlessly bridges commercial smartphones and tablets via Wi-Fi.

Deployment Environments

The RM-1700-22W is built to withstand harsh operational environments. It features an IP67 waterproof enclosure and complies with MIL-STD-810H standards for shock and vibration resistance. The radio functions reliably across a wide industrial temperature range of -30°C to +70°C.

Performance Metrics

• Maximum Range: Up to 1 kilometer (extendable with external high-gain antennas)
• Maximum Throughput: 80 Mbps
• C&C Latency: 1.5 to 10 milliseconds
• Operating Temperature: -30°C to +70°C

Setup & Portability

This lightweight, wearable unit is optimized for handheld and manpack deployment by dismounted personnel. Available configuration options allow for the integration of a dedicated battery pack and multi-constellation GPS capabilities to facilitate rapid, dynamic mesh network deployment in the field.

Compatibility

Each radio functions as a node on a Doodle Labs Mesh Rider network and integrates seamlessly with commercial off-the-shelf smartphones and tablets via Wi-Fi bridging. It is compatible with external high-gain antennas for extended range applications.

FAQs

• What frequency bands does this radio utilize? It operates in the 915 MHz and 2450 MHz ISM bands, providing dual-band global usability for tactical MANET deployments.
• Why consider directional antennas over omnidirectional antennas for secure communications? Omnidirectional antennas broadcast signals in all directions, increasing the risk of interception. Directional antennas focus the signal, reducing exposure and improving security, though they may require different mounting solutions.
• How can military-grade ruggedness benefit remote network deployments? Equipment engineered for extreme conditions, such as high shock and vibration resistance, provides critical reliability for off-grid or remote civilian installations where environmental exposure is a primary concern.
• Problems we solve: where do we start with incomplete requirements? An incomplete specification can make product selection difficult. Start by sharing the task, operating environment and known constraints with Cyntony so the team can help define what to verify and which options are worth discussing (Our process).
• Outcomes we deliver: what comes from working through the requirements? The practical outcome is a requirements-led set of product options to evaluate with Cyntony. Confirm performance, compatibility and any service scope for your configuration before selection (Our process).
