Peraton Remotec joins Persistent Systems Wave Relay® Ecosystem
Peraton Remotec chooses the Wave Relay® MANET as their preferred network for ANDROS Robotic platforms.
Persistent Systems, LLC ("Persistent"), the world leader in mobile ad hoc networking (MANET), announced today that Remotec, a subsidiary of Peraton, has joined Persistent's Wave Relay® Ecosystem as its exclusive network provider.
An industry alliance of unmanned system and sensor producers, all using the Wave Relay® MANET as their preferred network for command-and-control, the Wave Relay® Ecosystem will now include Remotec's entire suite of Andros unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).
"We are excited to welcome Remotec to the Wave Relay® Ecosystem," said Tom Jennings, director of Business Development at Persistent Systems. "As a global leader in robotic systems, this exclusive partnership with Remotec greatly enhances our company's core vision: to network the battlefield with our world-class Wave Relay® technology and enable the safety and success of those who have no-fail mission sets."
Providing increased range, improved data rates, and the ability to share high-quality video, audio, and text data, the Remotec platforms integrated with the Wave Relay® MANET include the:
Andros SPARTAN, Remotec's flagship hazardous duty platform that is highly dexterous.
Andros FX, a heavy-duty EOD platform with increased track-pod mobility and nine degrees of freedom manipulator.
Andros SR1, a lightweight, man-portable platform, that is quickly deployable.
Andros Wolverine, the all-terrain workhorse ideal for sand, snow, and mud surfaces.
"We are thrilled to partner with Persistent Systems to enhance the situational awareness of our law enforcement and military customers," said Amy Rall, president of the Citizen Security and Public Services sector at Peraton. "This ecosystem will increase intelligence insights and enable our customers to make informed decisions and planning tactical operations."
A large improvement over their current network, the Wave Relay® MANET will equip law enforcement and military end-users with command-and-control of Remotec UGVs and improve their situational awareness with the sharing of real-time data.
"Providing operators the ability to evaluate and respond to hazardous situations is a core tenet, said Jennings. "The last thing they want to worry about in these situations is the network. Our technology partnerships are deliberate efforts toward ensuring all warfighters and law enforcement personnel return home safe."

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances
IDS Imaging Development Systems offers a range of models, from a webcam-like camera in industrial quality to a tiny autofocus camera that weighs just12 grams. The 13 MP autofocus camera uEye XC closes the market gap between industrial cameras and webcams. Setting up and operating only requires a cable connection. After that, the autofocus camera immediately delivers high-resolution, detailed images and videos. With the optionally available, quickly exchangeable macro lens, users can easily shorten the minimum object distance of the camera. This makes it also suitable for close-up applications. Focus from a distance of just 10 cm. The uEye XS is even more compact and fits into almost any application with its size of just 26.4 x 23 x 21.7 mm. Thanks to its autofocus and 5 MP CMOS sensor, it delivers consistently sharp images and videos from a distance of just 10 cm. When it comes to image quality, natural color reproduction and harmonious contrast are also decisive factors. IDS has therefore equipped the uEye XS with many other practical automatic features familiar from consumer technology. This includes white balance, exposure and gain. As a result, it delivers the best possible result in every situation.
