Operations inside buildings create some of the most challenging environments for tactical communications. Walls, stairwells, confined spaces, and constantly changing movement can quickly disrupt traditional communications and complicate coordination between operators and command elements.

The MPU5 was designed with these realities in mind. Built on Wave Relay® MANET technology, it enables teams to maintain resilient communications and information sharing as they move through complex structures, transition between rooms, and operate across changing geometry where maintaining connectivity is essential. As teams split, maneuver, and coordinate in real time, the network adapts to support continuous communication and situational awareness without relying on fixed infrastructure.

In fast-moving operations where timing, coordination, and awareness directly influence outcomes, communications must do more than support voice alone. The ability to move video, data, and critical information across the network while operators remain mobile helps teams maintain alignment, make informed decisions, and continue operating effectively in environments where communication cannot afford to fail.

What does large-scale tactical networking actually look like when mobility is real and the environment refuses to cooperate?

At Fort Carson, a 700-node Wave Relay® network was established and then put into motion. Groups of nodes maneuvered in vehicles, separated from the larger formation, rejoined the network, and continued moving PLI, voice, and HD video across multiple hops while the network topology constantly changed.

Modern operations are no longer centered around simple point-to-point communications. Today’s formations depend on an ecosystem of interconnected technologies including radios, EUDs, ATAK, ISR video, unmanned systems, sensors, robotics, and vehicle platforms, all competing to move information across dynamic and often contested environments. Terrain, structures, vehicles, and movement continuously reshape RF conditions, making static communications assumptions increasingly obsolete.

Wave Relay® MANET was designed for this reality. By turning every MPU5 into both a router and relay, the network self-forms and self-heals as geometry changes, creating multiple pathways for information to move without requiring user intervention. .

In this snippet from our latest Max Gain episode, Kyle Haydel explores how scalability and mobility work together, why the network itself becomes the nervous system of the battlefield, and what large-scale multi-hop routing looks like when formations are constantly moving.

Featuring insights from the team on the ground, including Persistent Systems, LLC Founder & CTO Dr. David Holmer.

Cloud Relay® architecture extends the local Wave Relay® network into a global communication fabric without adding complexity for the end user.

Turn on an MPU5 and connect. No third-party gateway. No external router. No manual configuration.

Wave Relay® devices automatically route over Cloud Relay®, allowing users to communicate globally through available Cloud Relay gateways and seamlessly transition between gateways as needed.

And what about power consumption?

Cloud Relay gateway functionality is built directly into the MPU5 and does not significantly impact battery life. When using a PT5 for Layer 3 connectivity, the MPU5 powers the 5G modem to extend connectivity beyond line of sight.

Simple for the operator. Powerful for the mission.

Maritime operations present one of the most challenging communications environments.

Tight corridors. Steel compartments. Ladderwells. Constant obstruction. Limited line of sight.

During Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) operations, boarding teams often split across multiple sections of a vessel while maintaining coordination, situational awareness, and communication with command elements.

That environment demands more than traditional point-to-point voice communications.

Wave Relay® MANET was designed for mobility and constantly changing geometry, enabling resilient networking that moves with the force through complex environments. helping ensure information continues to flow even as teams maneuver through challenging shipboard spaces.

As the character of maritime operations evolves, operators need communications built around mission movement and operational interoperability, not systems that force teams to work around technical limitations.

Modern warfare is increasingly coalition warfare.

At African Lion 26, multinational forces demonstrated what operational interoperability looks like in practic:e: allies and partners connecting systems, sharing information, and operating together across domains.

Persistent Systems was proud to support this effort with Wave Relay® MANET, helping enable resilient, mobile communications designed for the realities of coalition operations.

The character of war continues to evolve. Success no longer depends solely on individual platforms or isolated capabilities; it depends on the ability to network forces, integrate systems, and deliver a shared understanding of the battlefield across partners and nations.

Interoperability is no longer a future requirement. It is an operational necessity.

Exercises like African Lion reinforce an important reality: coalition networks must be scalable, resilient, and ready to support allied operations from day one.

Watch how Persistent Systems supported African Lion 26 and the continued push toward more connected coalition operations.

Persistent Systems recently welcomed a group of high school students from the Bronx Aerospace High School Pre-Engineering CTE Program to our headquarters as part of our ongoing collaboration with Bridges From School To Work.

During their visit, the students explored our Operations and Production facility, where they received a guided tour led by Rey Rivera. They also had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in our production cells, learning how MPU5 radios are built and understanding the level of precision and teamwork required in our manufacturing process.

The visit included a panel discussion featuring team members from across our Operations department, who shared insights into career pathways within the industry. Students engaged in discussions about multiple entry points into the field, including military service, trade schools, traditional universities, and certification-based, hands-on learning, while also gaining a clearer understanding of the day-to-day work involved.

Experiences like these are an important part of how we connect with and support the next generation of talent. We look forward to continuing to work with Bridges to Work and expanding opportunities like this in the future.

With nearly 12 years at Persistent Systems, Kayla Lively's journey reflects the kind of growth and opportunity that define our culture.

Kayla joined the company shortly after graduating from the The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she double majored in Political Science and Peace, War, and Defense. She started as a Sales Associate, supporting a small team of Account Managers at a time when the organization was still scaling.

Today, she serves as Director of Sales Operations, leading a multi-functional team and playing a key role in advancing critical business systems and processes.

Reflecting on her experience, Kayla shared: “Persistent allowed me to figure out my skillset and really find a role that best fit those skills. I had the opportunity to move across different functions - Sales, Marketing, Account Management - before ultimately finding my place in Sales Operations.”

Over the years, Kayla has contributed to several major initiatives, including helping build out Salesforce, supporting the company’s transition to Infor, and now playing a role in the transition to E2E. Her journey highlights the value of internal mobility and hands-on experience.

“Back in the early days, I was always impressed with how little Persistent judged my age or that I was fresh out of college. I felt valued in my skillset and was regularly included in large-scale projects that helped grow the company.”

Kayla also emphasized the importance of trust and continuous learning in her career: “I’ve made mistakes here, everyone has, but it has always been a safe place to learn. The focus has always been on what we can take from those experiences to improve and move forward.”

Her story is a strong example of how Persistent Systems invests in its people; providing opportunities for growth, encouraging exploration, and building long-term careers.
