APEX-M3516 MESH Self-Organizing Network Backpack Radio

The APEX-M3516 is a MESH self-organizing network backpack radio operating at 1.4GHz (300MHz~3.6GHz customized), with 2T2R RF channels, 4w output power, 64 sets (128sets optional) and 82mbps throughput. It forms a self-organizing MESH network with full-duplex two-way data transmission and full IP transparent data transmission, secured with AES encryption.

With a SIM card slot, the APEX-M3516 supports 4G full network, and its public network is 4G/5G, so the backpack node can reach beyond the MESH network through the cellular network. With a display screen and buttons, it shows device information and connection status and lets the operator modify configuration parameters in the field.

It supports voice intercom and WI-FI, GPS/BD positioning, and with an HDMI interface it supports HDMI video input. Built with a military three-proof design and IP66 protection level, it is made for high reliability in the field. It powers on with one click, with no need to configure or change parameters, and at 2.45kg (w/battery) with a 14Ah battery, 2-5km transmission range and average power consumption of less than 16W, it is a mobile node for voice, data and video.

Application Scenarios

1) Manpack MESH Field Communications with 4G Reach-Back

For dismounted teams, the APEX-M3516 works as a backpack MESH node with 64 sets (128sets optional), 82mbps throughput and 2-5km transmission range, while the SIM card slot and 4G/5G public network let the team reach beyond the local MESH network over the cellular network.

2) Mobile Command & Video Backhaul

For mobile command use, the display screen and buttons show device information and connection status on the spot, while HDMI video input, voice intercom, WI-FI and GPS/BD positioning feed video, voice and location into the network.

3) Emergency Response in Harsh Environments

For emergency response in the field, the military three-proof design, IP68 protection level and -40°C~ +65°C working temperature keep the radio working outdoors, and one-click power-on with no configuration lets it be deployed quickly, at 2.45kg (w/battery) with a 14Ah battery.
