What We Do
At Doodle Labs, we are RF experts.
We specialize in providing resilient connectivity for advanced robotics systems for defense and commercial applications.
Our Mesh Rider Radios enable unmanned systems and large tactical mesh networks to operate with secure, long-range, and high-throughput links that maintain performance even in contested domains. Our radios form self-healing mesh networks, scale seamlessly from individual platforms to large fleets, and provide the secure throughput required for real-time ISR, telemetry, and command-and-control.
As leaders in resilient wireless networking, we help customers overcome mission-critical challenges where reliable communication is essential.
With nearly two decades of experience, Doodle Labs has partnered with leading defense programs, robotics manufacturers, and system integrators worldwide. We offer both off-the-shelf radios and custom solutions that accelerate time to market while delivering battlefield-proven performance at scale.
Headquartered in the United States and Singapore, Doodle Labs continues to pioneer innovations in RF communications, ensuring that missions can go further, faster, and without compromise.

Our Story
Wearable Mesh Rider Launched
In 2024, the company released the Wearable Mesh Rider Radio, expanding the platform into a ruggedized, soldier-worn form factor. This milestone brought battlefield-proven capabilities directly to the edge, allowing operators to seamlessly integrate with unmanned systems and maintain resilient connectivity in contested environments.
Advanced Networking
By 2023, Doodle Labs had advanced networking capabilities even further, with technologies designed to support larger and more distributed fleets. These innovations strengthened the resilience, scalability, and flexibility of mesh networks for both defense and commercial robotics.
Multi-Band Radios Released
In 2021, Doodle Labs introduced multi-band Mesh Rider Radios, unlocking seamless operation across a wider frequency range. This advance increased resiliency, supported global interoperability, and enabled more complex multi-domain operations.
Trusted by the U.S. Army
In 2020, Doodle Labs received U.S. Army and DIU funding for the development of next-generation Mesh Rider Radios. This validation reinforced the company’s role as a critical enabler of defense communications and expanded its footprint in Programs of Record.
Launching Mesh Rider Radio
2018 marked a major milestone with the launch of the Mesh Rider Radio platform. Designed to deliver ultra-reliable, low-latency, and high-throughput links, Mesh Rider Radios became the communications backbone for drones, robotics, and other mobile platforms operating in complex environments.
Expanding with Frequency-Shifted Transceivers
In 2013, Doodle Labs introduced frequency-shifted industrial Wi-Fi transceivers. This marked a critical step forward in enabling flexible and reliable connectivity across a wide range of global frequency bands. The innovation allowed OEMs to extend connectivity into environments where conventional radios could not perform.
Founding Doodle Labs
In 2008, Doodle Labs was established as a spin-out of smartBridges to focus exclusively on serving OEM customers. By dedicating its expertise to RF innovation and industrial-grade wireless systems, the company positioned itself as a trusted partner for robotics and advanced communications.
Starting smartBridges
In 1999, Nimesh founded smartBridges, the predecessor to Doodle Labs, on the belief that Wi-Fi technology was being underutilized in range-limited applications. smartBridges quickly became an industry pioneer, building long-range wireless solutions on the Wi-Fi protocol and setting the foundation for what would later become Doodle Labs.
