INTRODUCTION

Headquartered in New York City since 2007, Persistent Systems LLC is a global

communications technology company which develops, manufactures and integrates

a patented and secure Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) system: Wave Relay

The company’s industry leading R&D team has designed wireless networking

protocols to support their cutting edge Wave Relay

system and technology. Wave

Relay

is capable of running real-time data, video, voice and other applications

under the most difﬁcult and unpredictable conditions. Their suite of products is ﬁeld

proven and utilized in Commercial, Military, Government, Industrial, Agriculture,

Mining, Oil and Gas, Robotics, and Unmanned System markets.

The Wave Relay

System is a peer-to-peer wireless MANET networking solution in

which there is no master node. If any device fails, the rest of the devices continue

to commu nicate using any remaining connectivity. By eliminating master nodes,

gateways, access points, and central coordinators from the design, Wave Relay

delivers high levels of fault tolerance regardless of which nodes might fail. The

system is designed to maximize the capacity of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum

and to minimize the network overhead. While optimizing efﬁciency, Wave Relay

also implements tech niques that increase multicast reliability. The advanced

multicast functionality allows the system to support both multicast voice and video

over IP.

Wave Relay

is designed to maintain high bandwidth con nectivity among devices

that are on the move. The system is scalable, enabling it to incorporate unlimited

meshed devices into the wireless network, where the devices themselves form the

communication infrastructure. Even in high ly dynamic environments, the system is

able to maintain connectivity by rapidly re-routing data. Wave Relay

“self-form”

and “self-heal” as nodes move unpredictably throughout the network, and Wave

Relay

routing adapts in less than a second to ﬂuctuations in topology and other

environmental conditions, continuously maximizing the communication performance.

Due to Wave Relay’s

architecture, deploying the system and establishing the

network are as easy as plugging in an Ethernet cable. The system operates on the

data link layer (OSI Layer 2) rather than the network layer (Layer 3), facilitating plug-

and-play operation.

Wave Relay

is a seamless wireless networking system offering a dynamic and

reliable solution for all mobile networking needs. Wave Relay

offers all of these

capabilities in an inte grated and cost-effective package.
