Data Links / Tactical 2×2 MIMO MANET

The mission link.
Without the weak point.

Long-range OFDM connectivity for unmanned air and ground systems—combining real-time video, command, telemetry and mobile networking in one compact architecture.

One link / complete mission data

Built around the moving platform.

Conventional links are often optimized for a fixed point-to-point path. RFortis brings adaptive MIMO, mobile ad-hoc networking and integrated platform interfaces into a system designed for motion, changing geometry and demanding data flows.

The result is one connection for high-definition payload video, low-latency control and continuous platform telemetry—with an air node light enough for constrained unmanned platforms.

Core capabilities

Resilience, engineered
through the stack.

RF, waveform, networking and interfaces are designed as one operational system.

01

Adaptive 2×2 MIMO

Dual-channel diversity and adaptive spatial processing preserve link quality as platforms move, turn and bank.

02

Self-forming MANET

Mobile nodes discover, route and recover automatically, with cooperative ranging support when conventional positioning is degraded.

03

Mission data in real time

One link carries HD video, command traffic and bidirectional telemetry with mission-aware quality of service.

04

Spectrum resilience

Frequency-agile operation and adaptive channel management help sustain connectivity in congested RF environments.

Operational envelope

Range shaped
by the mission.

Representative line-of-sight performance at 3,000 m platform altitude. Final range depends on antenna system, channel plan, terrain, interference and regulatory constraints.
