Connectivity through an airborne node

A radio bridge above terrain obstacles

An airborne relay bridges hills, buildings and vegetation between teams, vehicles and command posts. Heliaz 152 holds its position or moves with the operation, extending links without masts or permanent infrastructure.

A relay that fits the existing network

The communications module can support MANET networks and compatible conventional radios. Sensors, teams and unmanned systems share information through an airborne node positioned to match the mission.

Radio coverage shaped from the air

Heliaz 152 positions a radio module above obstacles where coverage is needed. Radio surveys identify weak or shadowed sectors, allowing network expansion to be based on current measurements.

A flexible link between every participant

The airborne node connects command posts, sensors, vehicles and teams through MANET networks and compatible legacy radios. Hovering or repositioning adapts coverage to team movements, incident perimeters and terrain shadows.

An embedded communications module for data and video transport over a Wave Relay network.

Module weight in datasheet
3.2 oz (approximately 91 g)
Supply voltage
8–28 V DC
Antenna architecture
3 × 3 MIMO
Ethernet interface
10/100 Mbps
Video processing
H.264 encoder / decoder
Flash storage
128 GB

Revision E (2024). Not a complete radio: a suitable RF module, antennas, enclosure and power supply are required. Ethernet speed is not guaranteed radio throughput; assess total assembly weight separately.

StreamCaster SC4200EP — OEM

OEM data radio

Catalogue alternative · integration unconfirmed

A compact embedded StreamCaster radio variant for a mobile data network.

OEM variant weight
137 g
OEM variant dimensions
92 × 55 × 19 mm
Antenna architecture
2 × 2 MIMO
Manufacturer's data throughput
Up to 100 Mbps
Channel bandwidths (standard)
5 / 10 / 20 MHz

Weight and dimensions refer to OEM, not handheld packaging. The OEM module needs an enclosure and thermal management; it does not automatically inherit the rugged radio's ingress rating. Throughput depends on link conditions.
