Smart Radio provides an ultra-reliable, low latency, long-range, high-throughput link to implement industrial-gradeprivate wireless mobile mesh Networks.
Mobile Mesh
Self-forming and self-healing, multi-hop relay, multi-frequency mesh capabilities improve the network robustness, extend the range and simplify the drone swarming.
Encryption
Encryption is a vital requirement to protect the data from the snoopers. The Smart Radio’s built-in 256-bit AES encryption protects over the air traffic. The embedded encryption engine is compliant with Federal NIST standards: FIPS 140-2 Level 2 and NSA Suite B.
Interference Avoidance
Spectrum Scan monitors in-band interference and provides the capability to switch channels. The advanced filtration and frequency-band shifting techniques used by the Smart Radio are designed to minimize noise and block out-of-band signals.
Performance RF
State-of-the-art COFDM and MIMO technology for exceptional multipath and NrLOS performance in harsh, noisy environments.
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.
Long Range
Spectrum Scan monitors in-band interference and provides the capability to switch channels. The advanced filtration and frequency-band shifting techniques used by the Smart Radio are designed to minimize noise and block out-of-band signals.
MIL Specs
Rugged construction and can operate in extreme temperature conditions from -40°C to +85°C. The radios are characterized against several MIL standards.
Low SWaP-C
Size, Weight, Power and Cost are by far the most important requirements for airborne applications. The Embedded Smart Radio is one of the lowest SWaP-C radios in the industry. It’s just about half the size of a deck of cards.
Frequency Agile
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.
Fast Integration
Meticulously designed using industry standard interfaces for easy system integration.
Device Management
Easy to use GUI interface for local and remote configuration of the radios. The devices also supports simple SSH, UCI and SNMP commands.
Extensible Features
The Smart Radios employ a feature rich OpenWrt Linux OS. Users can install their own software to further extend and customize the functionality.
Doodle Labs is focused on making the Smart Radio platform easy to integrate. We are actively working with our industry partners and collaborators to extend the platform’s capabilities. Smart Radio has been integration tested with the leading tools, standards and ecosystems used in many industries. This versatility ensures that our customers can quickly develop advanced Industrial IoT solutions.
PX4 is the Professional Autopilot. Developed by world-class developers from industry and academia, and supported by an active world wide community, it powers all kinds of vehicles from racing and cargo drones through to ground vehicles and submersibles. Refer to Doodle Labs application note for integrating Smart Radio with PX4 and QGroundControl.
QGroundControl provides full flight control and vehicle setup for PX4 or ArduPilot powered vehicles. It provides easy and straightforward usage, while still delivering high end features. Refer to Doodle Labs application note for integrating Smart Radio with PX4 and QGroundControl.
See the full index below for models in many frequency bands and use case optimized form factors. Additionally, we can configure the operating frequency anywhere from 100 MHz ~ 6 GHz and meet wide variety of band/channel plans for special projects.
License Free Bands
Our license free band products can be purchased from online distributors.
License Free Band – USA, Canada, Mexico, Central, South and Latin Americas, Australia, New Zealand and China
The 900 MHz band is license free for use in many countries around the world. At lower frequencies, the radio signals can travel farther and penetrate through the walls and vegetation, providing better NrLOS operation. The 900 MHz band provides an excellent alternative to the crowded 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band for long range links.
Smart Radio is fully compatible with all the WiFi devices. Thanks for 30 dBm Tx power, these Smart Radios are used for long range and deployments in the harsh environments.

Federal L-Band
L-Band Smart Radios are designed for use by Government organizations. The longer wavelength of the L-Band allows to reach further distances and especially well suited for ground robotic applications.
Smart Radio for S-Band is ideal for use by Federal agencies to take advantage of the S-Band wavelength for superior RF reflections and penetration in urban environments.
The Smart Radio Platform is available in a range of use case optimized form factors to meet the requirements of any Private Wireless Network application.
The compact unit is only 65 x 57 x 11 mm in size and weighs 60 grams. The casing is made from light weight aluminum and acts as a heat-sink as well as RF shield. The unit is rated IP50 (dust protected).
The Smart Radio’s Embedded form factor is designed for system integrators developing space and weight constrained applications like small UAS.
External
The units is 120 x 137 x 58 mm and 540 grams. It is rated for IP67 (submersible).
The Smart Radio’s Embedded form factor is designed for system integrators developing space and weight constrained applications like small UAS.
Wearable
It is a compact unit (smaller and lighter than a Smart Phone). It is only 70 x 95 x 15 mm and 150 grams. It is rated for IP63 (water spray falling at an angle of up to 60° from vertical.
The Pocketable form factor of Smart Radio is developed to enable team collaboration within the high speed Mesh Rider Private Network. It creates a portable WiFi hot-spot to allow the use of standard devices like Tablets and Smartphones to share and collaborate. The device has embedded antennas for ease of use. It has a wide input voltage range so it can be powered from a variety of power sources, including standard USB power banks.
