It’s highly compact and lightweight form factor make it ideal for SWaP constrained UAVs, UGVs and other unmanned systems. It is available as embedded modules or external-mounted (IP-67 rated) units. Its robust construction, rated to MIL-Spec standards, provides superior resistance against vibration and extreme temperatures.
The ISM band radios are available in two performance variants: Pro and Xtreme.
The Smart Radio is one of the most affordable high performance RF broadband radio platforms with the aim of supporting a variety of companies and projects, and facilitating implementation at scale.
The Wearable Smart Radio provides human operators with convenient mesh connectivity to UAV and autonomous vehicle networks. It has been designed to enhance productivity and allow collaboration over networks deployed in a variety of conditions, from airports and construction sides to remote regions.
The built-in WiFi hotspot and USB/Ethernet ports allow you to connect any internet-enabled device, including smartphones, tablets and drone and robot ground control stations, to the mesh network. The Wearable Smart Radio allows users to take advantage of a fast, secure private wireless mesh network, handling command & control, concurrent streaming of 4K video, and voice and text communication with latency of less than 10 ms.
The lightweight unit is smaller than a smartphone and features integrated antennas, for easy carrying and deployment. The integrated GPS and altimeter provide positioning data that enables greater situational awareness across the mesh network. The Wearable Smart Radio is also available as an OEM version for system integrators.

The Helix Smart Radio is a low-SWaP hex-band radio driven by the needs of UAVs and UGVs, Originally developed for the US Army’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), it covers six Federal and ISM bands in the 1625-2500 MHz range, providing versatility and the ability to use the most suitable band without needing to switch hardware.
As with all Smart Radios, Helix is powered by Doodle Labs’ patented Mesh Rider technology, and can be used to stream HD video at distances of over 20 km. Dynamic mesh capabilities enable range extension and swarming, and channels are optimized to carry command & control and video signals for unmanned systems.
The wide frequency range allows a number of dual-band permutations when using two radios on a system. Redundant communication can be configured to ensure connectivity if one band is jammed. Video can be multicast to multiple users and control of the drone can easily be passed from one user to another.
The Helix Smart Radio consists of two boards (Baseband and RF) that can be mounted in a variety of configurations within the vehicle’s chassis, in order to accommodate different space and thermal management considerations.
