Sophisticated and dependable  

PhantomBlu is Blu Wireless’ mmWave technology for the military / defence industry. PhantomBlu supports tactical connectivity between vehicles on land, at sea or in the air, allowing users to run applications and IP networking (L2 or L3) over the top of the Anti-Jam resistant mesh network. Our configurable, flexible, and stealthy mmWave mesh network solution delivers unparalleled data handover time and LPI (low probability of interception) and LPD (low probability of detection) communications on the move and at range.

Our family of PhantomBlu products can be customised and scaled for any environment or application within defence; from critical infrastructure security, vehicles in convoy, to airborne platforms such as high-altitude autonomous ISR. No matter what tactical range, situational or environmental challenges to be overcome, we can deliver integrated solutions that can be deployed over vast areas and infrastructure, connecting many applications throughout, meeting operational objectives with minimal risk to personnel.

The most advanced communications solution

With no reliance on fibre optic or cabled networks, availability of spectrum and flexibility of equipment, PhantomBlu mmWave networking solution offers the ability to make legacy platforms and future assets interoperable. The integration of data from sensors, electronic weapons, cyberspace and more across every domain is complex and so to share and communicate C4ISR data securely and seamlessly needs mission-based stealthy, high-bandwidth yet flexible communications at the front line. By working with Blu Wireless, you can feel confident that your force has the most advanced, data-rich tactical communications system, giving them the best possible operational advantage and optimised safety.

PhantomBlu’s offering:

  • A mmWave mesh network delivering 10x data rate compared to Wi-Fi and 5G on the move
  • No reliance on fibre optic networks, quick & easy setup.
  • Suitable for unmanned devices.
  • Real-time, wireless digital signal processing (DSP) methods minimize co-channel interference
  • Reduced SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) (10% power consumption of alternative offerings)
  • Future proof with a road map to 10X higher data rate performance
