Silvus Technologies are extensively deployed in the Broadcast, Military and Security fields to deliver mobile and temporary network requirements.
They offer a 4 x 4 MIMO Meshing Radio with superior performance to conventional Microwave COFDM in a point-to-point configuration. However, it is also a single channel IP data radio that forms self-healing peer-to-peer meshes over extended coverage areas.
The principle of a MESH Radio network is that multiple radio nodes bond together flexibly to form a fluid self-healing network to carry IP (network) data. A node can move around freely within a MESH-covered area and retain network connectivity to all other nodes.
Most MESH Radio systems are designed for commercial use, typically using the 802.11 standards family, and suffer from:
Limited performance
Limited available frequency range
Low data rates and often symmetrical 50% forward, 50% back
Inflexible packaging
Complex setups
First developed for the US Military, Silvus radios are different to traditional MESH radios. They deliver exceptional point-to-point performance equal to or better than conventional Microwave platforms, but typically in less spectral bandwidth.
Available in frequency bands from 400 MHz to 6 GHz, including the Australian ISM bands
High Power amplifier solutions are available
Specifically designed for mobile deployment in temporary and semi-permanent installations, rather than as a permanent infrastructure product
Offering asymmetrical data rates of up to 75 Mbps
Silvus radios are “switch on and go”, requiring little or no management once configured for field operations. A Silvus MESH is a true peer-to-peer, self-forming, self-healing mesh with no master and no configuration requirements after initial setup. Members of the Mesh can join and leave freely.
All management of radios on a network is achieved through a web browser connecting to Network Management software in each radio. Within the software adjustments can be made to selected mode of operation such as bandwidth, channel, or modulation scheme.
Silvus Radios are available in several different combinations.
Infrastructure 4 x 4: Offering 1W of output power, the 4 x 4 radio is ideal for vehicle and tower/pole-mount applications.
OEM board set 4 x 4: Weighing just over 200 gms, the OEM board stack is ideal for integration into antenna casings, aerial vehicles and other custom fabrications.
Manpack 2 x 2: Designed for bodyworn or compact infrastructure requirements. 0.5W output power. Accessories for the 2 x 2 radio include: Integrated Ultra low latency H.264 Video encoder for Broadcast Camera applications; IO Module delivering integrated WiFi, GPS, PTT and composite video encoder.
2 x 2 OEM Board set: At only 85 grams, the 2 x 2 board set is extremely well suited for use where the lightest most compact solution is required
Frequency bands range from 400 MHz to 6 GHz. Radios on different frequency bands may be combined into a single Mesh.
Multiple Meshes can be interconnected by hard wired connection, via the internet, or using traditional microwave IP links.
More simultaneous channels and users
More reliable connectivity
Reduced power consumption
Increased range
Lower probability of detection
StreamCaster is the world's first MIMO radio optimised for tactical applications. MIMO is the breakthrough technology that is ushering in the 4G revolution in commercial wireless data communications and enabling WLANs of supporting high definition video. Silvus' MIMO radios borrow the best of these commercial technologies while extending and improving the capacity, range and reliability of wireless communications for mission critical needs.
All StreamCaster radios are IP-based packet transceivers that surpass the capabilities of traditional single antenna solutions in many aspects and will deliver capabilities critical to the target end user.
Increase in line-of-sight (LOS) range
Improved reliability in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) and multipath-rich environments typical of urban and mountainous areas
