ITEC, LONDON (Booth #B144), May 22, 2012 – FreeWave Technologies, (http://www.freewave.com), manufacturer of the most reliable, high-performance spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, today announced it is exhibiting at ITEC (http://www.itec.co.uk/), a London-based conference focused on defense, simulation, training and education, May 22-24, 2012. At ITEC, FreeWave will display a full portfolio of its wireless data radio offerings that are used for a variety of government and defense applications, such as soldier training and range data systems applications; command and control of unmanned vehicles and robotics; biological and chemical sensing; asset tracking; Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Micro UAV; guided parachutes; and, more.
“This is our first time exhibiting at ITEC and FreeWave is excited to bring its government and defense solutions to a new audience,” said Ashish Sharma, chief marketing officer at FreeWave Technologies. “By exhibiting, we have a great opportunity to connect with organizations across the globe that can benefit from our reliable and versatile communication solutions. We especially are excited to demonstrate how our products are ideal for soldier training applications.”
At ITEC, FreeWave will demonstrate how its wireless radios are being used by the U.S. Department of Defense and other government organizations for multiple major training programs and ranges. Currently, FreeWave’s MM2 and F Series radios are deployed during soldier training exercises to transmit performance data for After Action Review (AAR). During training exercises, soldiers wear the radios for GPS positioning and to register speed, hit data and other diagnostics for player units, targets and effects. Upon evaluation of the data, a soldier’s performance can be modified to better prepare for combat situations.
Attendees are encouraged to stop by FreeWave’s ITEC booth (#B144) for an introduction to the company and to learn about its latest government and defense technology offerings. FreeWave also will showcase a diverse collection of its popular ruggedized data radios in its booth including:
- The MM2 Family, which includes the MM2-MU (340 MHz-400 MHz), MM2 (900 MHz) and MM2-M13 (1.3 GHz). These radios feature a tiny footprint and lightweight form factor making them ideal for mission critical applications where space and weight are at a premium.
- GXM (2.4 GHz), a serial radio that offers the same form factor as the MM2 radio.
- 3400 Series (3.4 GHz), Q Series (228-235 MHz) and F Series (225 MHz-400 MHz), which are designed for defense and international use.
- FGR2 (900 MHz) serial radio.

FREEWAVE TECHNOLOGIES’ POPULAR MILITARY WIRELESS DATA RADIOS SURPASS ONE MILLION FLIGHT HOURS
Company increases flight time by 20 percent year over year based on demand by major government and defense OEMs
WASHINGTON, AUVSI, Booth #738, Aug. 16, 2011 — FreeWave Technologies, (http://www.freewave.com), manufacturer of the most reliable, high-performance spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, today announced its radios for government and defense applications have logged more than one million hours of flight time since the company began shipping its first military radio in 1997. The one million milestone represents a 20 percent increase in logged flight time since just one year ago demonstrating the continuing market momentum FreeWave’s wireless data radios are experiencing among government and defense OEMs. FreeWave will showcase its entire line of government and defense wireless data radios and provide hands-on demos of its latest technology at AUVSI 2011 (booth #738).
“We now have logged more than one million flight hours with some of the top military, government agencies and OEM’s around the world,” said Ashish Sharma, chief marketing officer at FreeWave Technologies. “FreeWave radios are proven to be reliable in adverse weather, difficult terrain, and have extreme noise immunity. Those features coupled with long-range high-speed capability, small footprint, light weight and extended battery life have become critical factors in our success.”
FreeWave radios are used for a variety of military applications. Examples include, command and control of unmanned vehicles and robotics; biological and chemical sensing; asset tracking; Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Micro UAV; guided parachutes; soldier training and war game applications; and more. At the beginning of the year, FreeWave also partnered with MicroBee Systems, Inc. (http://www.microbee-systems.com) of Huntsville, Alabama to sell FreeWave products and solutions directly to federal customers through the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Information Technology (IT) Schedule 70 Contract. Over the past eight months, FreeWave and MicroBee have seen interest from many government contractors and customers helping increase interest for its product in this marketplace (see FreeWave’s announcement regarding MicroBee tomorrow, Aug. 17, 2011).
“The government and defense marketplaces are two of the most important industries for FreeWave,” explained Sharma. “Our customers have come to expect the very best in technology and service from FreeWave. Their input has helped shape our product development efforts by delivering products that meet their mission critical requirements every single day on the battlefield and beyond. We look forward to continuing to satisfy their future needs with innovative solutions based on their input.”
FreeWave will showcase its full line of military radio solutions at AUVSI 2011 in its booth (#738) and will highlight its MM2 family of radios. These tiny form factor radios offer all of the same features of FreeWave’s standard-sized radios but in a much smaller package. The MM2 is designed specifically for unmanned systems and weighs a mere 14 grams with a size of 1.4-inches high by 2.0 inches wide. Its tiny features, light weight, long-range ability, versatility and security make this radio ideal for UAVs – giving them longer flight times.
