MiMo Advantages.
In operational terminology, multiple users with this Hornet-PRR radio deployed in a large open field, densely populated city center, or thick forest area would be able to communicate with voice and data (Video) through the MANET (Mesh) network. The Hornet-PRR radios would route through the best data rate options automatically, maintaining contact from end to end.
The Hornet-PRR is a compact, lightweight, and low-powered (2 x 100mW) radio that is clipped to the webbing/belt and operated by a handset/headset with PTT. The video cameras may be helmet and/or chest-mounted.
The typical radio-to-radio range is 300 – 500 meters but meshed through a string, the end-to-end range could be up to 20km.
The HORNET-PRR is fully compatible with the HORNET-1 which is a higher-powered radio to form a strong mesh node for extended range when placed in the center of the group, up in a tree, on a hill, or on a drone. The Hornet-1 MiMo radio is a 2 x 1W radio providing coverage of 1.5 to 15km.
