Private Wireless Landscape
As the world becomes further connected and new applications arise, a diverse set of requirements emerge for wireless connectivity. Many technologies and standards have been developed to fill the needs of different applications and their corresponding requirements (e.g. range, power, speed). No single technology can meet the needs of all use cases.
The chart illustrates the sweet spot for Mesh Rider, relative to other technologies. Indeed, it is capable of deploying high performance private mobile broadband networks that require long-range and high-throughput capabilities, like UAVs, and UGVs.
Best of WiFi and 5G
Mesh Rider has been designed to combine the best of the benefits of 5G and WiFi technologies. Public LTE networks used to be the only possibility for medium to long range (100+ meters) applications. However, because they have been designed to serve many users, cellular networks provide low user speed, low QoS, and high latency to each individual subscriber. Moreover, their high monthly recurring costs lead to high total costs of ownership.
Mesh Rider addresses these pain points by building on top of the robust COFDM/MIMO technology specified in IEEE 802.11. High throughput, low network latency, and high QoS are extended to long distances. Mesh Rider has been designed to combine the best of the benefits of 5G and WiFi technologies.

The Power of Ubiquitos WiFi
Over the past two decades, large investments have been made into developing IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) technology. Today the WiFi ecosystem is estimated to exceed three trillion dollars. As a result of such massive investments and pervasive use, WiFi is the most advanced and high-performance wireless technology.
Doodle Labs has been a major player in long-range WiFi for over 20 years. Based on this expertise, Mesh Rider begins with 802.11 as a foundation and adapts/extends it for more demanding Government and Industrial IoT applications. The Mesh Rider waveform optimizes numerous physical and MAC layer parameters to achieve interference-resistant, reliable high speed wireless communication in many different frequency bands.
Mobile Mesh
Self-forming and self-healing, multi-hop relay, multi-frequency mesh capabilities improve the network robustness, extend the range.
C&C + Video
Advanced traffic prioritization of Ultra Reliable Low Latency Channel (URLLC) for all Command and Control traffic and concurrent multicast video streaming of 4k video on the same link.
Interference Avoidance
Spectrum Scan monitors in-band interference and provides the capability to switch channels. The advanced filtration and frequency-band shifting techniques are designed to minimize noise and block out-of-band signals.
Mobile Mesh
The hybrid SDR technology enables a large family of form factor compatible models in 100 MHz to 6 GHz frequency bands. Simply swap out the radio based on the end-customer or country requirements.
Encryption
Encryption is a vital requirement to protect the data from the snoopers. The Mesh Rider’s built-in 256-bit AES encryption protects over the air traffic. The embedded encryption engine is certified with Federal NIST standard: FIPS 140-3.
Extensible Features
The Mesh Rider is built on top of a feature rich OpenWrt Linux OS. Users can install their own software to further extend and customize the functionality.
Mesh Rider – A Mobile OS
A cornerstone of Mesh Rider© OS is the advanced networking capabilities closely integrated with the RF waveform. The Mesh Rider has been developed to enable a large variety of Private Wireless use cases as depicted in this gallery.
Mobile Mesh Network (MANET)
The Mesh Rider helps deploy self-forming, self-healing mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET) by employing any-node to any-node capabilities to instantaneously route data via the best available traffic path. These automatic multiple pathways builds network redundancy. As the number of nodes increases, the network becomes more resilient by having more alternate pathways and eliminates any single point of failure.
