WAVE Benefits & Features

WAVE delivers cutting-edge, covert wireless communications designed for tactical and covert operations. Its advanced features allow for seamless data sharing and situational awareness in challenging environments.

Covert Communications

Operates on 60 GHz WiGig frequencies, ensuring low probability of intercept/detection with limited RF range due to atmospheric oxygen absorption.

High-Bandwidth

Delivers speeds up to 7Gb/s using the IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11ay wireless standards, avoiding proprietary hardware or protocols.

Compact & Concealable

Small form factor hardware requires minimal space and is easy to transport, assemble, and integrate into vehicles.

Whisper Wireless Access Point

Creates a secure WiGig wireless hotspot with optional TAK Server integration for enhanced tactical communication.

Whisper Android Adapter

Designed for the Samsung S20/S23 Tactical Edition, enabling wireless connectivity to the Whisper WAP via the Juggernaut OPRTTR Phone Case.

Integrated with TAK Ecosystem

Offers seamless TAK integration, enhancing situational awareness and collaboration in mission-critical operations.

Durable & Flexible Hardware

Features an IP67-rated design with pass-through power and data capabilities, supporting additional add-ons like TAK Servers and FlexPac Batteries.

Encryption Options

WAVE supports multiple encryption options, including unencrypted, AES 128, and AES 256, allowing users to tailor security to their mission requirements.

Beamforming Capability

WAVE’s beamforming capability provides increased reliability and better LPI/LPD while not being subject to humidity or dust.

WAVE Use Cases

Localized Situational Awareness for Low/No-Vis Operations

WAVE creates a secure TAK bubble within a vehicle, enabling operators to share real-time data and updates without relying on external networks. This capability is vital during low-visibility missions, where maintaining localized situational awareness is crucial to mission success.

High-Bandwidth Intra-Vehicle Communication

WAVE facilitates a wireless communication network within the vehicle, connecting multiple devices such as tablets, laptops, and mobile phones. This eliminates the need for physical cables, reducing clutter and enhancing operational efficiency in dynamic environments.

Next-Gen Vehicle Connectivity

WAVE’s roadmap includes enabling Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Anything (V2X) communications. These advancements will support covert wireless data exfiltration and extended situational awareness, revolutionizing tactical mission coordination.
