Doodle Labs notes that hopping to a clear channel, the usual answer to jamming, runs into a limit. If a broadband jammer blocks the whole band, nowhere is left to go, and a quick tracking jammer can follow a lone radio’s hops. Dual Radio tackles this by housing two separate modules in one unit: the first handles L/S Federal bands, the second the NATO C-band plus higher government allocations. Because they are separated physically and in spectrum, the company says a jammer might take out one band yet leave the link standing.

Both modules run their own copy of the Sense EW engine, scanning and relocating independently rather than waiting for the partner to degrade. Purpose-written Dynamic Mesh firmware moves traffic between the two links with delay too small to measure.

Operators pick one of three modes. Redundancy mode keeps live traffic on both radios, so a fully denied band hands everything to the other at zero-millisecond failover. Relay mode receives on one band and retransmits on the second, turning the node into its own repeater; coverage grows beyond line of sight with no extra relay box and no throughput loss. Deception mode assigns one radio to emit a decoy that occupies a tracking jammer, leaving genuine traffic on the second band.

Delivered ready to integrate, the kit contains two modules, a wiring harness and pre-installed firmware. Alternative band pairings can be ordered.

Why it matters

Doodle Labs treats its multi-band lineup and Sense EW as the answer to everyday interference, and positions Dual Radio for opponents able to shut down a complete band or track agile signals.

Integrators benefit from the common platform: teams that have designed around Mesh Rider OEM modules find the same mounting and electrical interfaces, which cuts evaluation time. The company expects such teams, especially where one point of radio failure is unacceptable, to adopt the kit first.
