There is a large amount of license free spectrum available to deploy private wireless networks for industrial IoT use-cases. However, the primary concern is interference with other users. Doodle Labs has optimized it’s Mesh Rider technology to mitigate the interference so our customers can take advantage of these license free bands and deploy reliable, fast, low latency, and secure private wireless networks.
Low latency, high reliability, high security and high speed, are the main reasons to consider private wireless. The public LTE network uses traffic management policies so that a very large number of people and enterprises can share the same network. Hence the user experienced latency, speed and traffic prioritization suffer. On the other hand, private wireless networks are dedicated and provide full management control for an enterprise’s critical operations. The enterprise can control the traffic priority for each machine, each sensor and each user to access the network. Enterprise’s data never leaves the private network and remains secure.
With over 20 years experience in developing private wireless networking products, Doodle Labs has identified many scenarios where benefits of a license free wireless network can be realized. The table below takes a quick look at the industries and use-cases that can benefit from the availability of free private wireless.

Mesh Rider is a Doodle Labs patented wireless technology optimized for Industrial IoT applications. It focuses on high speed communication over long distances. It can operate in licensed and license-free bands and can avoid interference. For more details, refer to the whitepaper: Mesh Rider – An Introduction.
Mesh Rider has an Ethernet like flat IP architecture to minimize latency. Mesh Rider borrows on the best features from the LTE and WiFi to provide a state-of-the-art wireless technology. The chart provides a quick comparative look at various technologies available for deploying private wireless networks.
Doodle Labs has integrated the Mesh Rider technology in it’s Smart Radio platform. These ready to deploy products simplify implementation of industrial-grade license free private mobile mesh networks. Here are some salient features of the Smart Radio. Please visit the Smart Radio home page to learn more about this feature rich platform.
State-of-the-art COFDM and MIMO technology for exceptional multi-path and NrLOS performance in harsh, noisy environments. Mesh Rider provides spectral scan and channel selection across the entire mesh network to avoid interference.
The Mesh Rider’s Ultra Reliable Low Latency Channel (URLLC) provides reliability and low latency that is simply not possible with public LTE networks. All URLLC traffic is transported with special priority for latency as low as 3-30ms.
Many applications transmit highly sensitive data. Communications must be secure and the network must be protected from unintended parties gaining access.
Mesh Rider has advanced channel for streaming low latency, crystal clear 4k multi-cast video.
Self-forming and self-healing multi-hop relay capabilities of Mesh Rider improves the robustness, extends the penetration and provides adaptive coverage in the deep obstruction zones.
The Smart Radios are available in form factor compatible license free 915 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz license free bands for global applications.
The Smart Radios are available even in the newly released CBRS innovation band. Check out our Mesh Rider solution for the CBRS band.
Smart Radios are modular certified in many countries so that our customers can readily start deploying the regulatory compliant license free private wireless networks.
Smart Radios have been deployed in some of the harshest conditions on Earth. They are certified to work through extreme temperatures and high vibration.
Private networks with Mesh Rider technology can be deployed with low capital investment. They have virtually zero operating costs in stark contrast to the recurring monthly cost of using the public LTE network.
Doodle Labs has a large portfolio of Smart Radios that enable free private wireless networks for Industrial IoT use cases. See the full index below for models in use-case optimized form-factors.
Our license free products can be purchased from online distributors.
| Frequency Range | Description | View Specs |
|---|---|---|
| 902-928 MHz | 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. | |
| 2400-2482 MHz | WiFi band (Worldwide) Smart Radio employs special Mesh Rider features for interference mitigation in the crowded WiFi band. Thanks for 30 dBm Tx power, these Smart Radios are used for long-range and deployments in the harsh environments. | |
| 3550-3700 MHz | New Interference Free CBRS innovation Band (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) in the USA A large swath (150 MHz) of new spectrum has been released by FCC to enable innovations in wireless applications. Check out our Mesh Rider solution for the newly released CBRS band. | RM-3625-2J – View Datasheet |
| 5725-5875 MHz | License Free band – USA, Canada, Mexico, Central, South and Latin Americas, India, Australia, and New Zealand Smart Radio employs special Mesh Rider features for interference mitigation in the crowded WiFi band. Thanks for 30 dBm Tx power, these Smart Radios are used for long-range and deployments in the harsh environments. | |
| 2.4 GHz and 5.x GHz WiFi bands | Industrial WiFi Transceivers (License Free Bands – Worldwide) Our long-range and rugged IEEE 802.11ac and IEEE 802.11n transceivers provide top performance for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) projects. They support long life cycle projects. Note that the Mesh Rider technology is not integrated into these transceivers. |

Robots often operate in challenging RF environments (underground, indoor in NLOS). Smart Radios offer the field proven mobile mesh with node relay to compensate for Fresnel Zone obstructions, and increase range in the LOS obstructed scenarios.
Construction industry is one of the leading adopters of IoT technology. Private wireless networks allow for real time video collaboration to improve the productivity and safety of the field personnel.
Mines usually have sparse public network coverage and satellite links are slow and costs are prohibitive. Improve safety and efficiency of personnel by providing reliable high speed coverage for workers, cameras, environmental sensors, remote-controlled vehicles and AGVs.
Create a private wireless network that tracks Geo-location of containers, cranes and trucks, video surveillance, and team collaboration, all on a zero cost private network.
Enterprises increasingly need video surveillance for security. The Smart Radios extend the wireless range of video feed and can live stream crystal clear HD/4K video.
