Himera, a developer of secure communication systems, showcased new products

Ukrainian developer and manufacturer of secure communication systems Himera Radios has presented three new products and demonstrated their testing at the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s training grounds. The latest products include a B1 Network Extender, an E1 Internet Extender, and an R1 Repeater with Internet Relay.

All three new products are designed to expand the functionality of Himera’s flagship product, the G1 PRO tactical radio.

To extend the radio range, the B1 Network Extender is installed on towers, hills, masts, trees, drones, balloons, etc. The actual range of the network will depend on how high the B1 is raised.

E1 Internet Extender is the equivalent of a Wi-Fi bridge. Its task is to bring Internet connectivity to the hottest parts of the frontline, where existing solutions are impossible to use due to lack of power, RPGs, etc.

R1 is a repeater that can transmit radio and data over the Internet. The solution allows you to expand the data network to the brigade level. It can be installed at headquarters and at long distances to receive communications from the front line.

According to the results of tests at the training grounds, electronic warfare devices failed to suppress communication in Himera G1 PRO tactical radios, and a drone with a B1 network extender further improved communication. At the same time, the EW equipment could not thoroughly pick up the signal of the G1 PRO radios. The radios worked properly while driving armored vehicles and transmitted voice and data.
