IP mesh MANET radios are advanced, self-organizing wireless communication devices that create a decentralized network without relying on fixed infrastructure like cell towers or central routers. Each radio (or "node") acts as both a transmitter and a receiver, forwarding data for other nodes to ensure robust and resilient connectivity, even in challenging environments.
Key Concepts Explained
• IP (Internet Protocol): The "IP" in IP mesh refers to the use of standard Internet Protocol for data transmission. This means that a wide range of standard IP-based devices—such as laptops, surveillance cameras, sensors, and smartphones—can seamlessly connect to the network. The network effectively functions as a large, mobile Layer 2 Ethernet switch.
• Mesh Networking: In a mesh topology, nodes are interconnected with as many other nodes as possible, creating multiple redundant communication paths. If one path is blocked or a node fails, data is automatically and seamlessly re-routed through an alternate path, a process known as self-healing.
• MANET (Mobile Ad-Hoc Network): The "MANET" aspect signifies that all nodes in the network are mobile and the network topology is fully dynamic. The system is self-forming and self-configuring, meaning radios can join or leave the network at any time without manual intervention or a central administrator, and the network adapts its structure on the fly.
How They Work
IP mesh MANET radios use specialized routing algorithms and advanced radio frequency (RF) technologies like COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) to function effectively.
• Decentralized Architecture: There is no "master" or central hub; every node shares the responsibility of routing data.
• Multi-hop Communication: Data can travel across the network by "hopping" from one radio to an intermediate radio, and then to its final destination. This extends the effective range far beyond the line-of-sight range of a single radio.
• Dynamic Routing: The radios constantly assess network conditions (signal strength, available bandwidth, traffic load) and dynamically choose the most efficient path for data transmission at any given moment.
• Link Adaptation: Each radio can optimally configure its transmission parameters to maximize data rate and link robustness with neighboring radios, allowing for high-speed data transfer when close, and more robust, slower links over longer distances.
Key Features and Benefits
• Reliability & Resilience: The self-healing and redundant pathways eliminate single points of failure, crucial for mission-critical operations.
• Rapid Deployment: Networks can be set up quickly in areas without existing communications infrastructure, such as disaster zones or remote areas.
• High Bandwidth: They support high-speed transmission of various data types including real-time HD video, voice (PTT), GPS location data, and sensor information.
• Situational Awareness: By integrating various IP-enabled devices and sensors, they provide enhanced real-time situational awareness to all users on the network.
• Security: These systems often incorporate robust encryption methods to ensure secure communications.
Common Applications
IP mesh MANET radios are primarily used in demanding environments where standard communication infrastructure is unavailable, compromised, or impractical:
• Military and Defense: Providing reliable, secure communication for ground forces, unmanned vehicles (UAVs, UGVs), and mobile command centers in tactical operations.
• Law Enforcement: Creating private, secure networks during operations in complex urban environments or rural areas where cellular coverage may be limited.
• Emergency Response/Disaster Recovery: Serving as a lifeline for search and rescue teams during natural disasters when public networks are down, allowing for the sharing of critical information and maps.
• Industrial/IoT: Used in applications like industrial automation, smart city infrastructure, and connecting mobile assets (e.g., vehicles in a fleet) in remote areas to ensure continuous tracking and data transmission.
LoRa mesh technology is specifically engineered for low-bandwidth, low-power applications, excelling at sending small data packets (mere bytes) over long distances while maximizing battery life.
This design makes LoRa devices ideal for use with applications like the Meshtastic Android app or ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit) for:
• Encrypted messaging
• GPS location sharing
However, the technology's core limitations in data throughput mean it is fundamentally incapable of high-fidelity push-to-talk (PTT) voice communication, which requires significantly more bandwidth.
In contrast, IP mesh radios utilize different underlying technology capable of much higher data rates (megabits per second), allowing them to support robust voice communication, large data transfers, and even video streams, though typically at the cost of higher power consumption. LoRa prioritizes efficiency and range over data-intensive functions like voice chat.
IP mesh radios are high-bandwidth communication tools designed for demanding, data-intensive applications. They provide robust capabilities for use with systems like the ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit) app, including:
• Encrypted high-resolution video streaming from drones, bodycams, and helmet cameras.
• High-fidelity private or group voice channels for push-to-talk headsets or direct phone-to-phone calls (functioning like a local VoIP network).
• High-resolution image sharing and sharing live map data with your group
• Encrypted messaging, network GPS tracking, and Cursor on Target (CoT) data exchange.
Unlike low-bandwidth solutions such as LoRa, IP mesh systems support the rapid transmission of significant amounts of data, enabling comprehensive situational awareness in tactical or emergency scenarios.
As firmware updates continue to develop, new IP mesh features and advanced functionality will evolve and be available for download.
No. The MX-88 does not generate or provide internet access by itself.
The MX-88 is an infrastructure-independent MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) radio. It creates a local mesh network that enables devices to communicate directly with each other for data, voice, and video—without relying on fixed infrastructure.
To access the internet, at least one node in the network must be connected to a WAN (Wide Area Network) source, such as:
Once a WAN-connected node is introduced, the MX-88 network can distribute that internet access across the mesh via standard IP routing.
Summary:
All sales are final; orders are directly tied to production.
Revenue from each purchase is immediately allocated toward bulk component procurement and manufacturing, where batch orders often require tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in upfront commitment.
This production model allows us to maintain aggressive pricing and deliver a high-performance system at a lower cost. As a result, we are unable to accommodate returns once an order is placed.
Our goal is to build sufficient capital to maintain standing inventory in the future, reducing reliance on backorders and pre-orders.
No, it's not in the traditional sense.
The MX-88 is a technical, mission-oriented system. We do not recommend adjusting network configuration settings unless you understand the underlying networking and radio parameters. Basic setup can be learned through our user manual.
We have eliminated approximately 98% of the mesh network’s initial configuration. The remaining setup is completed on the end-user device (e.g., phone) through ATAK.
At a high level, the device is designed to provide high-throughput, infrastructure-independent, and scalable Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) communications. When properly configured, it operates reliably, but setup and optimization require technical familiarity.
At its core, the MX-88 is a sophisticated networking platform designed to handle:
This level of capability inherently introduces complexity. While much of it is abstracted through pre-configuration, advanced use still requires a working understanding of the system.
The MX-88 is delivered fully configured and ready to operate out of the box.
All radios undergo a thorough quality control process and are preconfigured and fully tested to ensure proper operation. In most cases, the only required configuration is on the end-user device.
Improper changes to configuration parameters can result in degraded performance or render the system inoperable.
If you choose to reconfigure the radio, it is strongly recommended to adjust only one parameter at a time, as changing multiple settings simultaneously can make issues difficult to isolate and troubleshoot.
The “IP Mesh Unit” is the original product nomenclature for what is now referred to as the MX-88 platform. It was previously listed on the website as “IP Mesh Unit” to help consumers more easily understand the product category.
The MX-88 and MX-88H are fundamentally the same platform, but use different wireless network cards:
Both the MX-88 and MX-88H utilize 3D-printed carbon fiber nylon housings.
The MX-88A and MX-88AH retain the same core functionality and internal components as their respective counterparts, but feature:
In addition to improved manufacturing scalability and faster turnaround times, the aluminum variants also provide:
Through production experience, we identified significant scalability limitations with large-scale 3D printing. The aluminum variants allow for more consistent manufacturing volume and improved production efficiency.
Nomenclature Breakdown:
Pricing fluctuations are primarily driven by component and raw material costs.
Key factors include:
Because the MX-88A platform utilizes high-performance embedded computing and precision-machined components, changes in upstream material and component pricing can directly impact final system cost.

Yes—with some conditions.
The MX-88’s integrated LoRa capability can interoperate with third-party LoRa devices, provided they are configured with matching parameters, including:
The MX-88 is typically used to extend low-bandwidth data such as GPS/PLI and messaging. Compatibility with external devices depends on aligning these configurations, as LoRa itself is a physical layer and does not guarantee interoperability across different network stacks.
Summary:
No, a HAM (amateur radio) license is not required.
The MX-88 operates on license-exempt frequency bands (e.g., 2.4 GHz ISM and sub-GHz ISM bands), which are intended for unlicensed use under applicable regulations.
However, operation must still comply with regional requirements, including:
Summary:
No, we do not plan to restock Harris batteries.
However, we will soon be introducing our own manufactured smart battery system—the Power Management Battery—designed as a fully integrated power solution for the MX-88.
In the meantime, the Battery Eliminator can be used with CoTS battery packs to power the unit.
Yes.
The Power Management Battery (PMB) is compatible with radios that utilize the standard Twist-Lock battery interface, including, but not limited to:
The PMB is also compatible with cradle chargers designed for AN/PRC-152-type batteries.
However, it is not compatible with cradle chargers designed specifically for AN/PRC-148-type batteries.
The Power Management Charger (PMC) is compatible with batteries that utilize the standard Twist-Lock battery interface, including, but not limited to:
While the PMC is capable of charging non-MOROSX OEM batteries, advanced battery telemetry such as:
may not be available due to incompatible or unsupported battery management systems.
Please refer to the MX-88 spec sheet at the bottom of the page.
Yes and no.
The MX-88 and MX-88H operate on different frequency bands and wireless standards:
Because of this, they are not directly interoperable over RF and cannot form a shared mesh network over the air.
However, both units include 900 MHz LoRa, which can communicate.
LoRa can be used to exchange low-bandwidth data such as:
This provides a long-range, low-bandwidth link between systems, but does not support high-throughput data or full mesh networking.
They can also communicate via network bridging.
By connecting each system to a common network layer—such as:
traffic can be routed between the two networks at the IP layer, enabling full interoperability without direct RF compatibility.
Future systems are planned to support direct integration between MX-88 and MX-88H platforms, including compatibility with existing (legacy) deployments.
Android devices are recommended.
Android platforms provide the most reliable performance and full compatibility, including support for ATAK and associated plugins.
iPhone / iOS support is limited.
While some basic functionality may work, iOS is generally unreliable for this application and does not support many required plugins, significantly limiting capability.
Our focus is on Android operating systems, and we do not offer support for iOS devices.
Yes
The INVISIO V Series—including the V60, V50, V20, and V10—is compatible with the MX-88 when properly configured.
Because the V Series requires external power, an INVISIO Power Supply Adapter is required. In addition, you will need an INVISIO 6-pin MIL downlead and a 6-pin MIL to Hirose adapter to interface with the MX-88.
Recommended options for the power supply adapter, V Series downlead, and corresponding Hirose adapter are listed below. If not already installed, the ATAK VX Plugin is also required for voice functionality.
The following headsets have been tested and confirmed compatible:
Compatibility is based on use with supported PTT interfaces and proper cabling configurations.
