"WiFiProtect makes secure, high-performance networking possible—anywhere the mission takes you."

Connecting remote or hardened facilities is a persistent challenge in defense and critical infrastructure environments. Terrain, distance and limited access often make trenching fiber or laying copper prohibitively expensive and logistically complex.

WiFiProtect® offers a practical, proven alternative—one that meets mission requirements without the time, cost or disruption of installing physical infrastructure.

The challenge

Perimeter surveillance systems, sensor networks and access control points all require secure, reliable connectivity. But conventional wired solutions struggle in environments with:
•    Long distances between nodes
•    Line-of-sight obstructions from terrain, vegetation or buildings
•    Restricted zones for excavation or construction
•    Remote locations with minimal or aging infrastructure

In these conditions, traditional commercial approaches often fall short—operationally and financially.

The solution

WiFiProtect delivers a secure, self-forming wireless mesh network designed for non-line-of-sight performance. Engineered with 900 MHz configurations to optimize signal propagation, it offers resilient connectivity in the most challenging environments.

Key capabilities include:
•    AES-256 encryption and FIPS 140 compliance
•    Ruggedized form factors for field deployments
•    Self-healing mesh that adapts in real time to node loss or interference

Whether deployed across wooded terrain, bunkers or remote facilities, WiFiProtect maintains reliable links without the need for physical cabling.

Field-proven performance

In operational testing across varied topographies and infrastructure conditions, WiFiProtect consistently delivers:
•    100% mesh connectivity across all tested nodes
•    Secure signal strength at distances up to half a mile
•    Reliable backhaul routing, even without line of sight
•    Adaptable antenna configurations to optimize performance 

Why it matters

For defense, national security and critical infrastructure applications, WiFiProtect offers a faster, more flexible alternative to fiber—without compromising on encryption, reliability or mission assurance. It reduces deployment time, lowers lifecycle costs and extends secure connectivity to places conventional infrastructure can’t reach.
