RM-5600-12 — Multiband Wearable Mesh Rider Radio

Overview

The Doodle Labs RM-5600-12 is a wearable Mesh Rider radio engineered for tactical mobile mesh networking. Operating within the 5150 to 5895 MHz frequency range (UNII bands 1 through 4), it serves as a high-speed node that bridges tablets and smartphones to a long-range network via Wi-Fi. This facilitates reliable, low-latency collaboration through streaming voice, HD video, and critical data.

Technical Summary

• Frequency Range: 5150 - 5895 MHz (UNII bands 1 - 4)
• Modulation & Technology: Interference-resistant COFDM, 2x2 MIMO, adaptive modulations (BPSK to 64QAM)
• Security: FIPS-certified AES 256- and 128-bit encryption
• Features: Built-in spectrum scanning and integrated GPS module
• Interfaces: Ethernet, USB-Device, and Wi-Fi bridging

Operational Use Cases

Designed for tactical team deployments, the RM-5600-12 excels in transporting demanding data loads. Dedicated Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Channels (URLLC) prioritize critical Command and Control data, while optimized streaming channels ensure reliable transport of 4K video feeds in dynamic, non-line-of-sight operations.

Deployment Environments

This radio is built for harsh field environments. It features an IP67-rated rugged enclosure and meets MIL-spec tolerances for shock, vibration, and extreme temperature exposure.

Performance Metrics

• Multipath Performance: Exceptional non-line-of-sight (NrLOS) performance via COFDM and 2x2 MIMO
• Data Prioritization: URLLC enabled for low-latency critical data
• Interference Mitigation: Built-in spectrum scanning

Setup & Portability

The unit features a wearable form factor designed for convenient carry by dismounted personnel. Setup is streamlined through standard Ethernet and USB connections, alongside integrated Wi-Fi for immediate bridging of commercial off-the-shelf smart devices to the mesh network.

Compatibility

The RM-5600-12 integrates seamlessly with tactical user devices such as smartphones and tablets over Wi-Fi. Physical connections are supported via standard Ethernet and USB-Device interfaces, and encryption complies with FIPS standards.

FAQs

• What frequency range does the RM-5600-12 support? It operates in the 5150 to 5895 MHz range, covering UNII bands 1 through 4.
• How does COFDM improve mesh network performance? Coded Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (COFDM) provides resistance to signal interference and multipath fading. This improves connectivity and data throughput in non-line-of-sight (NrLOS) tactical environments.
• How do user devices connect to the wearable radio? The radio bridges tactical smartphones and tablets via Wi-Fi to the larger mesh network. It also includes physical Ethernet and USB-Device interfaces for wired hardware integration.
• 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).
