The Pathmaker Network radio provides ad hoc, wireless communications for those who require the ability to communicate when there is no infrastructure or when current infrastructure has been damaged or overloaded.

The radio is a handheld device capable of mobile, ad hoc mesh networking. Users can send voice, data and video to other radios within the Pathmaker network and can communicate privately (one-to-one), as a group (one-to-many) and have multiple private and group sessions.

Information can be sent to other networks or to users out of range, such as a command centre, via multiple gateways for the radios: SATCOM Gateway for satellite communications; UHF/VHF gateway for interoperability with existing and legacy radio systems; IP Gateway to connect to the private/public internet; and GSM Gateway to talk with cellular and landline phones.

The radios work in a variety of situations and are suitable for use by: military and paramilitary; emergency first responders and disaster relief; law enforcement, border patrol and drug interdiction; forest service, national parks and monuments; and commercial and private industry.
