Silvus Technologies is dedicated to one mission: connecting those who keep us safe. We do so by delivering the most advanced Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) radios powered by our custom and ever evolving Mobile-Networked MIMO waveform. Together, our radios and waveform provide vital communications for mission-critical applications in the harshest environments from underground tunnels to high-altitude balloons.

Silvus StreamCaster™ radios are being rapidly adopted by customers all over the world ranging from the U.S. and Allied Nations Departments of Defense to International, Federal, State, and Local Law Enforcement agencies, all the way to the Superbowl, Grammys, and industry-leading drone, robot, and unmanned systems manufacturers.

We’re excited about the work we are doing in AI. Founded on our many years of experience and knowledge, we know the mission-critical needs of our customers are unique and different from the consumer technologies that leverage AI today.
