• Collect and re-use or leave in place (“zero” command) upon mission completion
• Each puck provides approximately 35 square meters of network coverage and/or 35 meters of linear signal extension
• 8-hour battery life (internal/rechargeable)
Kit Includes:
• (25) pucks, sealed (approximately 875 meters of linear signal extension)
• (4) pucks with tethering/connection ports (connect to IP tactical/software defined radio, unmanned vehicle/robot, or external sensors)
• (2) wireless chargers
