Silvus Technologies is the world leader in MANET solutions, and Kauko brings them to Finland for demanding environments.
Silvus MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) radio systems are designed to provide connectivity where traditional communications infrastructure is unavailable or not reliable enough.
The solutions provide high bandwidth, low latency and a self-organising network that flexibly adapts to users and situations
Kauko acts as Silvus' importer and distributor in Finland - ensuring that authorities and other critical operators have access to solutions they can rely on, even in the most demanding communications environments.
The StreamCaster series of radios form an independent data and communication network that can be quickly deployed in the field without the need for a fixed infrastructure. Silvus radios are designed to withstand demanding applications and environments where reliable communications between mobile units, vehicles, drones and command posts are required.
A lightweight and compact MANET radio designed specifically for wearable applications, drones and other unmanned vehicles. Available both as a handheld radio and as an OEM module.
The ultra compact Lite series OEM module, combining small size with excellent performance. Especially suited for tactical unmanned systems where low power consumption is required.
A full-featured MANET radio for demanding field conditions. Offers high transmission power, long range and rugged construction for both handheld and drop-in modules for lightweight aircraft.
Silvus' most powerful MANET radio when you need maximum performance. Suitable for fixed installations on masts, vehicles and aircraft.
Tactical Networking System
A chest-mounted solution that integrates the StreamCaster radio into a reinforced tactical terminal. Provides stable connectivity for field operations and easy availability on the move.
Antenna Radio Systems
A sector antenna solution that combines a high gain antenna with a StreamCaster radio. Enables reliable 360° coverage, long range and rapid deployment.
Dual Band MIMO Transreceiver Array
A dual-band (S/C) MIMO solution that provides long range, high data bandwidth and full 360° coverage in demanding environments.
Silvus software, such as StreamScape and StreamView, supports network optimisation, snapshot monitoring and performance analysis. They ensure that tactical MANET networks operate reliably and efficiently under all conditions.
Silvus Mobile Networked MIMO (MN-MIMO) technology enables unique data transmission in challenging communication environments.
Unlike traditional radios, MN-MIMO uses multiple antennas simultaneously, enabling the network to transmit large amounts of data reliably, with low latency and a wide coverage area.
MN-MIMO makes it possible to:
Self-organising MANET networks that adapt to dynamic situations
High bandwidth for real-time video, sensors and data distribution
Resilience to interference even in areas where other links fail
Flexible scalability as the number of users or links grows
The technology makes Silvus MANET radios particularly well suited for defence, government and critical infrastructure - wherever communications must not be interrupted.
Silvus MN-MIMO based MANET radios provide reliable network connectivity in challenging environments - where traditional networks are not enough. They enable high-quality video, voice and data transmission over a distributed mesh network without the need for a central infrastructure.
Leading applications:
Government: "Tactical Bubble" networks enable reliable communications in urban environments and operational situations.
Defence: Infrastructure-free connectivity on land, sea and air for operations requiring real-time and resilient communications.
Autonomous systems: a single radio transmits and receives video, commands and telemetry data for critical operations.
Air surveillance: A long-range link from air to ground that supports real-time situational awareness.
Broadcasting and media: real-time video and audio transmission of sports and media productions directly from the scene to the control centre.
Maritime communications: a stable signal between vessels and shore, even in environments where traditional VHF or commercial networks do not work.

Since 2004, Silvus Technologies has been a pioneer in MANET radio technology, particularly known for its StreamCaster solutions. The company was the first to develop MANET radios based on MIMO technology, enabling reliable data transmission in situations where traditional solutions would not work.
Today, Silvus is part of Motorola Solutions, further strengthening its position. This gives customers the assurance of long-term development, a global support network and more integrated solutions as part of a wider security and communications ecosystem.
Silvus MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) refers to a self-organised radio communications network where each device acts as both a transmitter and a receiver. The network does not need base stations, but nodes connect directly to each other to form a flexible and mobile communication network.
Traditional radios are often based on point-to-point or base station communication. Silvus equipment, on the other hand, forms a dynamic mesh network that automatically adapts to the conditions. This improves range, reliability and transmission capacity.
The main advantage of the MANET network is its independence from fixed infrastructure. The network works even when base stations are not available or unavailable, which is critical in field conditions, accidents and military operations.
Yes. The MANET network is built entirely without base stations. Each radio acts as a node that passes traffic on. This allows operation in areas where there is no other communication infrastructure.
Silvus MANET radios are designed for mobile environments. They are capable of maintaining communications between vehicles, helicopters or drones in constant motion. The self-organising network automatically adapts to node movements and maintains connectivity.
Silvus devices feature advanced encryption and security protocols to ensure confidentiality of communications and protection against interference. This is particularly important in defence and government applications where security is a critical requirement.
Yes. Silvus radios support standardized interfaces (such as Ethernet, USB and serial) and multiple communication protocols. They can be easily integrated with existing command systems, sensors and other communication solutions.
Absolutely. Rescue services, police and other authorities use MANET solutions in situations such as major disasters, natural disasters and search and rescue missions where a communication network is not readily available.
Silvus products are available from Kauko, which is the representative of Silvus Technologies in Finland. Kauko also provides implementation, training and technical support to ensure that the system works reliably and precisely to the customer's needs.
