Persistent Systems has entered into a five-year agreement with Insitu that will result in Insitu equipping its line of UAS with Persistent’s Wave Relay mobile ad hoc network (MANET) technology.

By incorporating Persistent’s MANET radios on its line of UAS, Insitu will now be a member of the Wave Relay Ecosystem, which is an “alliance of industry-leading companies using Wave Relay MANET radios in their products,” Persistent says.

As a member of the Wave Relay Ecosystem, Insitu’s platforms will work seamlessly with all other Wave Relay MANET-enabled products.

“We are proud to collaborate with Insitu and have our Wave Relay MANET products serve as a preferred communications system on their platforms,” says Louis Sutherland, VP Business Development for Persistent Systems.

Insitu’s Chief Technology Officer Matt Bartow adds, “integrating the Wave Relay MANET into our products gives our systems a critical communication capability, enabling a wholly networked field solution.”
