Hoverfly Joins Persistent System's Wave Relay Ecosystem

Persistent Systems, LLC announced that it has entered into a five-year agreement with Hoverfly Technologies Inc.. Hoverfly will be joining the Wave Relay Ecosystem, an alliance of unmanned system and sensor companies that integrate the Wave Relay mobile ad hoc network (MANET) into their products.

Hoverfly's tether-powered, small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), LiveSky and the BigSky, will both be part of the Ecosystem, with the Wave Relay MANET offered as the standard communication link.

By incorporating Persistent's MANET radios on their sUAS, Hoverfly improves their offerings operational capabilities in dense urban environments. The tethered capability of the LiveSky and BigSky allow them to reach above tall buildings to spread the network farther. Greater networking capabilities provide the warfighter with real-time situational awareness for quick, in-the-moment tactical decisions.

The Hoverfly systems operate at altitudes of 200 feet above the ground, where a tether cable provides continuous power and high speed ethernet connectivity. With the Embedded Module now integrated into Hoverfly's offerings, users benefit from the range and performance that the MANET can deliver in this unobstructed, advantaged location for miles of connectivity.
