Tekniam’s new Remote Universal Communication System (RUCS) is a fast deploying, easy to hand carry device weighing only 5lbs (2.27kgs) that throws a powerful broadband internet signal 3 miles (4.8km) with very low power draw. 

The signal can be relayed between units up to 35 miles (56.3km) with up to a gig of throughput at a time.

This technology delivers what has become one of the single most important strategic advantages of modern warfare. Bandwidth.

The world is at a major inflection point in history where new network technology is dramatically shifting the balance of military power from offense to defense.

According to Tekniam, fighting this type of modern warfare requires bandwidth that the company’s RUCS delivers for the full spectrum of military capabilities.

RUCS is being used for military applications talking to drone swarms. The video feeds or sensory data the drones send back is then processed for analysis for target selection connecting unmanned reconnaissance with the shooters.

For special operations communications, the RUCS was designed to be lightweight and have high throughput up to a gig at a time. The RUCS is able to deliver a large amount of power with a low power draw.

Tekniam’s RUCS delivers bandwidth to the battlefield in a way that is dramatically shifting the balance of military power from offense to defense. A low cost, easily hand carried device that formerly required heavy equipment towed on a trailer with a generator and gasoline to achieve only a fraction of the network power of Tekniam’s new RUCS.
