About the Item

Somewear Node (mesh & satellite)

A first-of-its-kind multi-network device combining the efficiency of mesh radios and the resilience of satellite technology. Node provides a level of reliability, security, and survivable situational awareness that was previously unavailable for teams on the move.
*Satellite activation required for satellite capabilities.

The combination of mesh radio and satellite technology offers a unified, lightweight system that reduces cognitive load, streamlines communications, and maximizes situational awareness.

Introducing SmartBackhaul: SmartBackhaul intelligently routes data from the mesh network to the Node(s) that have the best satellite or cellular connectivity to serve as the most optimal wireless backhaul(s). Each team member carrying a Node can serve as a reliable backhaul, allowing the agility for mission teams to establish uninterrupted connectivity and situational awareness.

KEY BENEFITS
– Multi-Network Resilience: Combining mesh radio and satellite technology. A flexible, reliable, and resilient datalink that adapts to dynamic operations.
– Unified & Lightweight: A single, lightweight solution that provides multiple data channels. Reduce cognitive load and streamline communications.
– Never Lose Coverage: Extend connectivity for miles in subterranean environments and bring satellite connectivity indoors with the help of SmartBackhaul.
– Seamless Failover: SmartRouting – proprietary data routing software ensures connectivity across cellular, wifi, mesh, and satcom networks.
– Dynamic Backhaul: SmartBackhaul – each Node’s ability to serve as a backhaul eliminates the need to establish and stay in range of fixed infrastructure.
– ATAK Integrated: Power ATAK with a survivable communications network and share locations, messages, shapes, and more.
– Data Security: AES 256-bit encryption – all data in transit and at rest is encrypted throughout Somewear’s system.
