The MPU5 is the world’s most advanced, scalable, and efficient Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) radio, providing ultra-reliable connectivity for UAVs and unmanned systems and allowing you to create secure self-forming and self-healing networks anywhere. Based on 3×3 MIMO technology and powered by Persistent Systems’ Wave Relay® MANET, it delivers extended range and increased throughput in both line of sight and beyond line of sight environments.

Every MPU5 on a Wave Relay® network communicates with each other, forming a true peer-to-peer mobile network that is massively scalable and allows devices to be freely added and subtracted without losing connectivity or requiring reconfiguration. With up to 10W of transmit power, the MPU5 can encode and stream live audio and video, including H.264 feeds at resolutions ranging from 320×240 to Full HD 1080p30 and 720p60.

The MPU5 is a true Smart Radio, featuring a custom Android-based operating system that allows you to run third-party Android applications directly on the device. In addition to being easily installed on a range of unmanned systems platforms, it can be directly connected to monitors, input devices and sensors via multi-functional I/O ports to create a convenient GCS or data processing and distribution unit in the field.

Designed to withstand the most challenging of conditions, the rugged unit is IP68-rated and designed to withstand extremes of temperature, water immersion, shock, and salt fog.

The MPU5 Radio is Blue UAS-certified.
