IP MESH UPDATE FROM SOVEREIGN SYSTEMS

From tunnels in Sydney, to valleys in California, to collapsed buildings in Dubai, and from the bowels of warships, ACE6 IP Mesh provides connectivity where its needed most, extending connectivity beyond the edge of existing networks and exceeding customer expectations!!

Recent end-user trials in all of these environments have delivered excellent results, meeting and exceeding end-user expectations, especially so in the United Arab Emirates, where we were given a particularly tough challenge. On the Search & Rescue disaster management training site, there is a collapsed building, and within this structure there is a concrete crawl tunnel, 1.2 metre square. The challenge was to transmit audio from the tunnel, with the trapdoor closed. All previous attempts by other communications and IP Mesh vendors had failed.

Not only did we succeed in transmitting audio over the PTT Mesh radios but we also delivered video, to the surprise, and delight, of the end user.

None of the radios used in this exercise exceeded 500mW RF power, and some of them were operating at only 250mW. This is testament to the superior digital signal processing of the Ace6 technology.

We also proved the superior RF performance in closed 40’ shipping containers, and within metal elevators, from the 10th. floor to ground, with no interruption in PTT Audio and video transmission. The user kept pushing us to perform in conditions where they had previously been unsuccessful with all previous communication systems….and we performed!!

WITHIN CONCRETE CRAWL TUNNEL

British Special Forces order

We are proud to announce our first order from the British Army Special Forces for our Robust Commander Node and PTT Mesh radio. The 2W Commander Node is rapidly deployable, configured for vehicle use or, with the 12 hour battery, for temporary portable deployment. PTT Mesh radios, with integrated Wi Fi and Bluetooth access points, will allow other communications systems to maintain connectivity for applications such as CIVTAK and ATAK, when beyond the range of normal networks. The combination of IP Mesh tactical radios, rapid deployment Hybrid LTE Network-in-a-Box and the sensor capabilities of the Wearin’ Sensor Vest, makes this integrated solution a compelling choice for First Responders and anyone needing to deploy rapidly into infrastructure-denied locations, while ensuring the safety of their personnel.

QUOTES FROM OTHER SATISFIED USERS

David Baird, Technical Director, Baird Technology, Brisbane, Australia

“These are great Mesh radios. Small, compact, really easy to configure and get operational quickly. Being able to remotely mount the antennae on our Military UGVs is a great help in achieving the range we need. Amazing RF performance with such low output power. You guys at Ace6 are performing some magic with this technology. Setting up the Mesh radios to control our UGV using the Microsoft Hololens was also a breeze. The integrated Wi Fi access point makes everything so easy.”

Phong Pham, Business Development, Wearin’ Tech, Geneva, Switzerland

"At Wearin' we love the SovSys Mesh radio because of its ease of integration and connectivity, its small form factor, its excellent RF performance and the fact that configuring the radios can be done with the on-screen display, no need for a laptop or tablet.  The integrated Wi Fi and Bluetooth access points also makes it so easy to connect our external sensors when we use Mesh for network connectivity in a cellular denied environment".

We carried out a hugely successful POC with Phong’s sensor vest and our Mesh radios, during a recent visit to Dubai. We are introducing the Wearin’ technology to our customer base, with great feedback.

“I’m glad we have been able to find vendors who can understand some of our ideas and turn them into reality so it’s certainly a partnership”

During recent tunnel trials and Naval exercises, our Ace6 Mesh technology has, once again, exceeded customer expectations.

A “5 Eyes” Navy conducted an exercise to test communications in a challenging environment, simulating a fire midships on a vessel moored at harbour. The Fire & Rescue team used a 2W radio on their shore-based Command Vehicle, achieving Mesh network communications, in a cellular denied environment, from the fire location below decks, to the Control room in the middle of the ship, needing only three 500mW radios.
