Bedford, Massachusetts-based Endeavor Robotics and New York’s Persistent Systems announced that are going to integration Persistent Systems’ MPU5 communication system onto Endeavor’s family of robots. 



This move will allow robot communications to move past point-to-point radios, which have frequency, power transmission and nominal mesh challenges. This integration will integrate Persistent Systems’ Wave Relay MANET, which will increase operational range, provide real-time video and telemetry feeds, allow operators to switch frequencies, add enhanced security protocols and create a more scalable network, according to an Endeavor Robotics press release. 



"The strategic partnership with available cutting-edge and proven technology providers such as Persistent Systems enables us to provide the warfighter needed technologies to operate more safely and with greater success,” says Tom Frost, president of Endeavor Robotics. “We are excited to work closely with Persistent Systems to provide the robotic solutions the warfighter demands and the advanced communications networks that provide the greatest reliability.”



"Our partnership with Endeavor Robotics represents a huge step towards the future, where the battlefield is fully networked,” says Dr. Herbert Rubens, CEO of Persistent Systems. “Networked connectivity between the warfighter and all of the unmanned systems and sensors will significantly increase situational awareness. Our unique and powerful MANET network will extend the operation and use of Endeavor's battle-proven family of robots to empower warfighters with information, allowing them to make better decisions and increase mission success."
