The Separate Brigade of Troops named after Ivan Bohun has completed testing of the HIMERA G1 PRO radios, achieving reliable communication over a distance of 45 km without additional equipment. This was reported by the manufacturer, Himera Radios.
According to the company, the tests utilized a mesh communication mode. In this mode, each radio station simultaneously receives and transmits signals, acting as a relay.
This enables data transmission and ensures communication stability in critical situations. A total of four HIMERA G1 PRO radios were used in the tests.
The developers explained that mesh communication is a key trend in modern tactical communications, as it significantly expands the communication range.
In other words, the signal can be transmitted even to areas that are not in the direct line of sight of one or more transmitters. In this mode, the signal is not sent directly, but is 'bounced' from one radio to another. This allows not only voice commands to be transmitted but also other types of data.
Thus, the use of mesh communication allows soldiers to hear each other even in difficult terrain and when some nodes are lost.
Earlier, the 'Chartia' brigade deployed the Himera communication system using drones, utilizing autonomous B1 relays and R1 relays with IP connectivity.
