StreamCaster Radios

STREAMCASTER RADIOS

THE FIRST AND STILL THE MOST ADVANCED TACTICAL MIMO RADIOS

In 2011, Silvus introduced the world’s first tactical MIMO radios – and we’re still pushing the industry forward today. Our background in DARPA-funded R&D paved the way for robust wireless networking for high-stakes industries such as military, law enforcement, and broadcast.

The 4000-series of StreamCaster radios represents the latest generation of continual improvement in size, weight, power, efficiency, cost, and capability.

STREAMCASTER LITE 4200 (SL4200)

2X2 MIMO RADIO

50% thinner, 30% lighter, 100% Silvus

SL4200 is a low-SWaP, low-cost 2×2 MIMO radio powered by the same MN-MIMO waveform as our flagship StreamCaster counterparts.

SL4200 FEATURES

Up to 1 Watt of power (2W effective thanks to TX Eigen Beamforming)
Available as rugged brick or non-rugged OEM

STREAMCASTER LITE 4200 (SL4200)

2X2 MIMO RADIO

Portability meets performance.

SC4200EP is a 2×2 MIMO radio, delivering best-in-class performance and efficiency in a miniature package. It is ideal for use in portable and embedded applications where size, weight, power or cost are key.

SC4200EP FEATURES
