Mesh Rider® Radio Platform
Mesh Rider® Radio provides resilient, low latency, long-range, high-throughput links to implement industrial-grade private wireless mobile mesh Networks.
Helix: Federal M1-M6 Bands, 1625-2510 MHz Band
Our Helix Mesh Rider® Radios operates on six bands (M1-M6) within 1625-2510 MHz, which provides global coverage so systems can be deployed without requiring multiple SKUs. This frequency range removes a large operational complexity for government customers who have deployments around the world. Moreover, license free 2.4 GHz band is also covered to further increase the global coverage. Helix Mesh Rider® Radio J/F-12 certification #13258

Link Distance
Mesh Rider® Radio’s Mesh Rider waveform has been field proven by customer to provide a link over 100km. The link distance of each system, however, depends on many factors: mainly antenna gain, line of sight obstructions, Fresnel zone clearance, and environmental noise conditions. The chart below give an indication of radio’s performance in a typical configuration.
