At Doodle Labs, we are RF experts. We build resilient wireless systems that power autonomous platforms, robotics, and defense operations in the world’s most demanding environments. From contested battlefields to complex commercial deployments, our technology keeps missions connected at the edge of what’s possible.
For nearly two decades, Doodle Labs has been at the forefront of wireless mesh networking. We started with a simple belief: that the people operating in the world’s hardest environments deserve connectivity that keeps up with them.
Today, our core purpose is to connect anyone and anything at any time, in any place. That vision drives everything we build and do.
Our Mesh Rider Radios connect unmanned and manned systems, enabling large tactical mesh networks to operate with secure, long-range, and high-throughput links.
Doodle Labs radios and software technology form self-healing mesh networks that scale seamlessly from individual platforms to large fleets, while providing the secure throughput required for real-time ISR, telemetry, and command-and-control.
With over 25 years of experience, our team blends deep wireless engineering experience with real-world deployment knowledge.
Doodle Labs has partnered with leading defense programs, robotics manufacturers, and system integrators worldwide, providing both off-the-shelf and custom solutions that accelerate time to market and deliver field-proven performance at scale.
Headquartered in the United States and Singapore, we operate as a distributed, global team. Our structure allows us to move fast, stay close to customers, and build technology that reflects real-world operational needs across regions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Doodle Labs brings together engineers, builders, and problem-solvers focused on one thing: delivering connectivity that works when it matters.
To bring our mission to life, we rely on passionate, committed people who operate by a core set of traits and values.
