• Gain: 2 to 4 dB
• Polarization: Dual (Cross-polarized)
• Power Handling: Less than 10 W
• Data and Power Interface: Single IP-67 RJ-45 for Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and PoE (802.3 af/at/bt)

Operational Use Cases

• Secure data links and tactical communication
• Robotic and autonomous system communications
• Resilient private MANET networking

Deployment Environments

Designed for Tactical and Fixed Site platforms. The enclosure features an IP-65 rating for robust outdoor environmental protection, utilizing an IP-67 rated RJ-45 connector to maintain environmental sealing at the cable interface.

Performance Metrics

Internal cross-polarized antennas support 2x2 MIMO operations, delivering optimized omnidirectional coverage with 2 to 4 dB of gain across the supported frequency bands.

Setup & Portability

Installation relies on a single RJ-45 connection that provides both Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Power over Ethernet (PoE 802.3 af/at/bt), simplifying cable routing and deployment.

Compatibility

Integrates the Doodle Labs Mesh Rider Mini OEM 2x2 MIMO Radio. Requires PoE (802.3 af/at/bt) for power and operates over standard Fast Ethernet infrastructure.

FAQs

• How is the operating frequency determined for this MANET base station? The supported frequency ranges span UHF to S-band, but exact coverage depends on the specific ordering option. Verify the required band against the manufacturer's datasheet prior to procurement.
• What does dual polarization indicate for this system? Dual polarization describes the electric-field orientation of the internal antennas, supporting 2x2 MIMO communications. Verify the measured omnidirectional radiation pattern with the manufacturer to confirm specific angular coverage and null locations.
• What power supply and connection methods apply to this base station? The system utilizes a single RJ-45 connection for PoE and Fast Ethernet. Consult the product documentation to verify appropriate tactical or fixed-site mounting hardware and physical attachment interfaces.
• Problems we solve: how do we narrow antenna choices? Balancing operating bands, coverage needs and mounting space can make antenna selection difficult. Share those constraints with Cyntony to compare candidate antennas and identify what needs manufacturer confirmation (Our process).
• Outcomes we deliver: what did Cyntony's tactical-link field test establish? Cyntony's 2025 XTND-DIRECT field test showed how terrain, antenna height and clearance affected a specific mesh-radio link. The result informs deployment questions; it does not establish range, throughput or suitability for this product (Field-test account).
