FAQs

• How does this mesh radio interface with end-user devices? The radio operates as a node on a dynamic mesh network and provides a WiFi bridge. This allows personnel to connect standard tablets and smartphones to the tactical network.
• What is the purpose of the Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Channel (URLLC)? URLLC allocates dedicated network capacity for command and control data. This prioritizes time-critical information over high-bandwidth traffic such as 4K video streams.
• What cryptographic standards should be verified for secure deployment? Verify deployment requirements against the AES-256 encryption and FIPS 140-3 certification capabilities provided by the device. Confirm that these supported protocols meet the specific security mandates for your application.
• 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).
