How it works

Any source in. Broadband out, miles away.

RUCS deployed across mountain terrain A topographic map of a river valley between mountain ridges. A RUCS Portable Communications Link on the valley floor takes satellite or cellular internet and passes it to Distribution Modules on four ridges and summits, each hop up to 5 km. Each module covers rural homes, a fire camp, a command post or a field team around it.

01 · Portable Communications Link

Bring the signal in

The PCL takes whatever backhaul is available, cellular, satellite or Ethernet, and creates a standalone network.

02 · Distribution Modules

Carry it across the terrain

Each DM serves users within a radius of 1,000+ feet and relays the signal to the next module, up to 5 km away.

03 · TekMESH

Manage it from anywhere

The TekMESH operating system and cloud management let your team monitor and control every node remotely.
