Mouser Electronics now stocks the RM-5800, RM-915, and RM-2450 Smart Radios from Doodle Labs. As part of the Smart Radio platform contracted by the US Army's Defence Innovation Unit and the US Air Force's AFWERX, the MIMO mesh routers employ state-of-the-art RF and networking capabilities for more rapid and reliable communication in drones and mobile robotic systems.

The platform provides self-forming and self-healing Mesh Rider technology and dependable MANET that function in the severest environments, allowing high-performance radios for real-time video collaboration in the field. The high-speed data links are secure against infiltration, resilient against interference, and frequency agile for global, and interstellar applications. The devices, provided in many frequency bands between 100MHz and 6GHz, can carry out all bi-directional communication (including command and control and video streaming) in a single high-speed broadband RF channel.

Devices are full-featured 2x2 MIMO radio and mesh routers that provide a long-range, high-throughput data link between one or more mobile units and a control station. The RM-915 (900 MHz) and RM-2450 (2450 MHz) Smart Radios provide a maximum HD video streaming range of 8km (Pro model) and 20km (Xtreme model). The RM-5800 radios also provide long-range transmission greater than 100km, high throughput up to 100Mbps, and exceptional multipath and NrLOS MIMO performance.
