The Wave Relay MANET

The Wave Relay MANET is a dynamic routing algorithm that delivers reliable, fast, and highly scalable connectivity – the heart and soul of Persistent’s networking devices.

Our technology transforms UAVs, UGVs, cameras, sensors, and people into a global fabric of connectivity to stream uninterrupted audio, video, and data even in difficult urban, subterranean, mountainous, or maritime environments.

With a single device, warfighters and first responders get real-time knowledge to make the informed, split-second decisions necessary to complete their mission and return safely.

In this episode of Max Gain, we’re in Las Vegas working with a local SAR and SWAT team to demo what it looks like when you link every sensor, camera, boat, board, and human onto one network—no matter who built the hardware. All of it—robots, sensors, sonar, drones, divers, boats, and the people running the mission—flows into one common network. One picture. One truth. Sensors can cue sensors. Robots can respond to data from drones. Divers can see updates from their EUD without waiting for someone to relay it over voice. Because real missions don’t come with a single-vendor loadout. They come with whatever the team has on hand. Wave Relay makes it work together.

WAVE RELAY | Max Gain Ep. 2: Las Vegas

November 22, 2025

This is Ep 1 of Max Gain. This one is a quick peek at some recent military freefall training. Why freefall for Ep 1? It’s because skydiving is pretty good at exposing weak equipment…. especially when that equipment is tactical radios falling at terminal velocity. Truthfully, the only thing that’s constant when falling out the sky is change. Distances between radios, angles, interference—everything shifts constantly. It’s physics at full speed, and every movement, every change in proximity, affects the data rates between every device on the network. Most networks struggle here because they weren’t designed for constant change. If your FaceTime call gets worse when you step outside of your house, imagine what happens at 120 mph with an entire battlefield worth of devices trying to share and receive data at the same time. Wave Relay assumes nothing stays fixed. Whether it’s a foot patrol at a walking speed or a stick of operators falling to earth, the network treats change as the only certainty. Every node is always evaluating the environment and picking the best path when its presented. So, movement is not a disruption. It’s not a forced change to the entire network and it's not a failover. It’s just another moment in a network that’s already designed to live in a permanent state of change.

In this video, we guide you through setting up a Cloud Relay Virtual Hub on Microsoft Azure. The Cloud Relay Hub Router is a critical component of the Cloud Relay networking solution, included in all Wave Relay devices, enabling seamless communication and connectivity. With the Cloud Relay Virtual Hub Router, users can quickly set up a Cloud Relay hub in minutes and remove it just as easily when it's no longer needed. They can also deploy the Cloud Relay hub in any Azure-supported region, ensuring optimal performance wherever their operations take them. Finally, they can rely on Azure's proven reliability to maintain consistent connectivity and robust network performance.

The real edge on the battlefield isn’t just new gear - it’s data. More of it. Moved faster. To every warfighter. We’re solving the SWaP problem by turning dozens of bulky devices into pure information delivered over a single powerful network. ISR feeds, sensor data, voice comms all flowing instantly, everywhere they’re needed. Because in today’s network bandwidth arms race, the side that moves more data, faster, to more warfighters, wins. Watch to see how we’re transforming the battlefield and how your next mission could be powered by this tech. Tell us: what capability would you never want to leave behind?
