MPU5
The world’s first smart radio
RELIABLE CONNECTIVITY WHEN YOUR TEAM NEEDS IT MOST
The most advanced, most scalable, and most efficient Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) radio in the world. Built to create powerful, secure networks anywhere, the MPU5 unites all your critical data sources in real time – giving you and your team the confidence to make difficult decisions in the heat of the moment. Data, video, voice, and a fully integrated computer operating system makes the MPU5 the world’s first Smart Radio.
MAXIMIZE YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Carry less, do more
THE FIRST SMART RADIO
As a Smart Radio, the MPU5 significantly decreases the amount of gear you have to carry. Having one fully capable Smart Radio platform frees up valuable space and weight so you can focus more on the task at hand. Fewer cables, fewer batteries, fewer worries - without ever sacrificing capability.
A: The MPU5 directly decreases the amount of devices a warfighter needs to carry by either building the capability into the MPU5 solution or making the capability accessible over the network so the user doesn’t have to carry it.1
A: The (S)ize = x dimensions. The (W)eight = 0.86 lbs. without battery and 1.6 lbs. with battery. The (P)ower = 12-14 hour battery life, on average
Track the situation
REAL-TIME SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
SEE, HEAR, AND COORDINATE YOUR TEAM
Teams equipped with the MPU5 will stay connected and able to share critical information as assignments unfold. Enable leaders to make better decisions by providing them with better data, faster. Track everyone’s positions and movements with integrated GPS. Capture, distribute, and view full motion HD video to investigate, coordinate, and complete your mission. Stay in the know.
A: ATAK and the Wave Relay plugin are pre-installed on all MPU5s. You can also download ATAK and the Wave Relay plugin from tak.gov. ATAK versions are optimized and regression tested for the MPU5 before release.
STAY CONNECTED, ANYWHERE
Wave Relay® MANET & MIMO TECHNOLOGY
Your assignments take you through cities, tunnels, and ships. The MPU5 thrives in these complex RF environments, where its 3x3 MIMO technology uses reflections from obstructions to move your data even faster. The self-forming / self-healing Wave Relay® MANET technology routes your data around obstacles, maximizing your network performance and mobility. The more radios you employ, the more connected you become.
A: No, there is no defined hop limit.
A: In a subterranean environment, the Wave Relay MANET extended across 38 hops over a 31-mile distance.

Information Assurance, Advanced Electronic Warfare Protection, Network Resilience, and Automated PACE
Our EW solution isn’t just the link – it’s the network. The Wave Relay MANET uses a defense in depth approach with
four layers of protections.
The MPU5 uses up to two layers of FIPS-compliant, NIAP-approved, and CSfC approved encryption for Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication, Key Management, & Perfect Forward Secrecy.
The Wave Relay MANET uses RF signature management for LPI/LPD, polarization diversity, and Wave Relay Interference Resilience & Defense (IRD). Wave Relay IRD is a U.S. Department of Defense-assessed library of Electronic attack fingerprints and countermeasures that provides resilience against waveform-specific attacks.
The Wave Relay MANET uses AI enhanced reinforcement learning to adapt, self-heal, and re-route data, ensuring communication persists.
The Wave Relay MANET’s integrated automated PACE capability routes data across any available transport, allowing warfighters to communicate by any means possible (5G, SATCOM, Starlink, etc.). The PT5 enables direct 5G connectivity to the MPU5.
A: The MPU5 uses Wave Relay IRD – a set of EW countermeasures that allows Wave Relay networks to survive in contested and congested environments where adversaries are using both basic and sophisticated jamming attacks.
A: Our security and electronic warfare protections are available at no additional cost to all of our customers. Firmware upgrades (that include updates to the Wave Relay IRD library of countermeasures) are also provided at no additional cost.
A: Yes. These protections are standard on MPU5 and other Wave Relay devices and are available to all Wave Relay users, including international customers (non-ITAR).
