The StreamCaster 4200 (SC4200) radio by Silvus Technologies was recently selected by MILREM, a manufacturer of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV) based in Estonia. MILREM will integrate the SC4200 onto the Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry System (THeMIS) platform. THeMIS UGV is an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platform. It assists with target acquisition, logistics support, and other missions. The SC4200 serves as the datalink, providing wireless command/control and video. It pairs with high performance antennas to allow the THeMIS to drive extended ranges, and push video and data communication farther than before. “Silvus is offering rugged and high quality MIMO radios which have proven to provide reliable wireless video and data communication over extended range,” said Rivo Opik, MILREM’s Chief Engineer.  “The technical support and guidance from the Silvus team has been quick and very effective.” SC4200 2x2 MIMO radio features transmit beamforming which nearly doubles the signal range. The ability to significantly extend range is why MILREM choose the SC4200 for the THeMIS. Companies purchasing the THeMIS can control, one, two or an entire fleet of these UGVs. In addition, users can monitor what is happening using a real-time, live HD-video feed from the Silvus radios.  

About Silvus Technologies

Silvus created its StreamCaster series of Mobile Networked (MN) MIMO radios to enable military-grade wireless video, data and voice communications in the most extreme situations. The ability to create an ad hoc, self-forming/self-healing mesh network is essential for the dynamic tactical operations. This powerful method of wireless connectivity is a natural fit for UGVs, and in particular, for several major US Military UGV programs where stringent performance requirements dictate the use of advanced communication techniques. MILREM serves a variety of customers in the defense and commercial industry. Shop Silvus’ line of MIMO radios at Unmanned Systems Source.
