What We Do
Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Los Angeles, Silvus Technologies develops world-class advanced communications technologies that are reshaping the tactical wireless communications landscape.
Silvus' revolutionary Mobile Networked MIMO (MN-MIMO) technology utilizes a proprietary blend of MIMO antenna techniques, COFDM modulation, and Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (aka mesh) to provide unmatched range, throughput, and mobility, even in the most challenging environments.
From pure line-of-sight (LOS) to extreme non-line-of-sight (NLOS), Silvus’ radios facilitate reliable duplex connectivity between 2 or more radios, forming a self-healing, self-forming mesh network that continually optimizes itself in response to changing channel conditions.
