Mini-OEM wireless data-link product

Mini-OEM is a compact Mesh Rider radio from Doodle Labs, a wireless data link and LOS link module for unmanned aircraft, ground vehicles and robots. It is supplied as a board-level radio for OEM integration, so that a platform maker can build a long-range IP link into an airframe or payload without a separate enclosed modem.

The Mini class of Mesh Rider radios is described by the maker as carrying the throughput, range and mesh networking of the larger radios in a smaller form factor intended for production at scale. In the Doodle Labs range, the Mini radio is listed at 34 g and 46 x 51 x 6.5 mm, which matters for small and mid-size UAS where every gram and every millimetre of payload bay counts.

Mesh Rider radios form self-forming, self-healing peer-to-peer networks in which nodes relay traffic for each other, so a fleet of aircraft and ground stations can share one IP network. Video, telemetry and control data travel over the same link. This is the architecture integrators use for BVLOS-oriented relay chains and multi-vehicle operations, and for ground robots working beyond the reach of a single point-to-point link.

Typical applications are BVLOS-oriented UAS, multi-vehicle operations and ground robots that need a small IP radio carrying video, telemetry and control on one link, mounted inside the airframe or payload.
