Solar Powered Tactical VHF UHF MANET Radio Base Station

Model: Defensor-BL8

Rapidly Deploy a Voice and Data Communication System Covering Hundreds of Kilometers Via an “Infrastructureless” Adhoc Network.

BL8 creates a multi-hop PTT MESH Radio system as soon as it is powered on. In the manet network every base station node connects with each other automatically and wirelessly to build a huge and stable voice communication network.

BL8 can be quickly placed in challenging environments without any infrastructure. When emergency event happens, 4G/5G network is overload or not available, the MANET radios base station can be rapidly deployed within minutes to set up a stable, self-forming and self-healing push-to-talk voice communication network.

BL8 can be used for both temporary and permanent application. With the big power solar panels and battery inside, it can 24h continuous working.

One unit BL8 placed on a top of mountain, which can cover 70km-80km radius.

Features

Large Area Coverage: Hundreds of Kilometers

● One unit BL8 placed at a commanding height can cover 70km-80km.
● Two units BL8 placed at different command height can cover 200km area.
● BL8 also supports multiple hops to expand the manet radio systems coverage to wider area and longer distance.

Self-forming, Self-healing Wireless Network

● All the connection between different types base stations and terminals and command dispatching radios are wirelessly and automatically without requiring any 4G/5G network, fiber cable, network cable, power cable or other infrastructures.

Cross Platform Connectivity

● BL8 solar powered radio base station wirelessly connects with all present IWAVE's manet mesh radio terminals, manet radio base station, manet radio repeaters, command and dispatcher.
The smooth interoperable communications allow the end users on land to to automatically mesh with individuals, vehicles, aircraft and maritime assets to create a robust and huge critical communication system.

Unlimited Quantity of Terminals

● Users can access different types IWAVE manet radio terminals as many as the need. There is no quantity limited.

Working In -40℃~+70℃ Environment

● The BL8 base station comes with a 4cm thick high density foam insulation box that is heat-insulating and freeze-proof, which not only solves the problem of high temperature and sun exposure, but also ensures the normal operation of BL8 in an environment of -40℃to +70℃.

Solar Powered in Harsh Environment

● In addition to 2pcs 150Watts solar panels, the BL8 system also comes with two pcs 100Ah lead-acid batteries.
● Solar panel power supply + dual battery pack + intelligent power control + ultra-low power transceiver. In the extremely harsh winter freezing conditions, even the solar panels stop generating electricity, BL8 can still ensure the normal operation of emergency communications through the winter.

Vhf and UHF for Options

● IWAVE offers VHF 136-174MHz, UHF1: 350-390MHz and UHF2: 400-470MHz for option.

Precise Positioning

● BL8 solar powered radio manet base station supports GPS and Beidou with horizontal accuracy <5m. Head officers can track everyone's positions and stay in the know to make better decisions.

Rapid Installation

● When disaster hanppens, power, cellular network, fiber cable or other fixed infrastructure equipments are not available, first responders can place the BL8 base station any where to setup a radio network immediately to replacethe DMR/LMR radios or other traditional radio system.

● IWAVE offers full kit including base station, antenna, solar panel, battery, bracket, high density foam insulation box, which enable the first responders quickly begin the installation work.

Application

Take your network where you need it:
●Enable critical communications in areas with limited or no coverage: rural, mountain/canyons, forests, over water, in-buildings, tunnels, or in disasters/communications outage scenarios.
●Designed for rapid, flexible deployment by emergency responders: easy for first responders to launch the network in minutes.
