Overcoming Connectivity Challenges in Defense & Security Applications
As the global defense and security markets grow, connectivity and AI-driven solutions are changing these sectors. Connectivity and embedded solutions capable of Wi-Fi 6 tackle critical challenges addressing SWaP constraints.
Published on December 13, 2024
The defense, aerospace, and public safety markets are experiencing a growing demand for technologies that increase situational awareness and connectivity. These sectors need solutions ranging from surveillance systems and UAVs to rugged portable devices for field operators. A few key challenges include maintaining reliable, high-bandwidth communication across remote and interference-prone environments, and stringent Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) requirements, along with the need for secure, real-time data processing, creating complexities for both hardware and connectivity solutions.
How can these sectors solve these challenges? Connectivity solutions like Wi-Fi 6 and 6E are taking the first step by offering improved data transmission with features like MU-MIMO for bidirectional communication and BSS Coloring to mitigate interference. Modular, scalable hardware solutions, like SOMs and SBCs, ensure compact, energy-efficient performance while supporting the latest AI-driven technologies.
