Katana™ WB Waveform

TrellisWare Technologies, Inc. continues to lead the industry in the development and deployment of next-generation Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) with the Katana WB waveform, a wideband, frequency-hopping, anti-jam MANET designed to deliver voice, Position Location Information (PLI), and IP data — including video, chat, and file transfer — in contested radio frequency (RF) environments. The Katana WB waveform combines wideband frequency-hopping resilience and anti-jam performance with TrellisWare’s proven Barrage Relay networking to provide scalable and spectrum-agile connectivity for modern tactical operations.

Katana WB is the sweet spot for global deployments requiring both high data rates and robust electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM) protection in dynamic mission environments. The Katana WB waveform advances TrellisWare’s TSM and Katana NB waveform technologies, combining TSM-like throughput with the Katana NB-like anti-jam ECCM performance. It achieves an ideal balance between resilience and bandwidth efficiency, supporting Ethernet-based applications, ISR streaming, and real-time situational awareness.

TrellisWare's Katana WB waveform strikes the ideal balance between wideband throughput and resilient anti-jam protection, featuring:

• Wideband anti-jam MANET leveraging TrellisWare’s patented Barrage Relay networking for scalable, self-forming, self-healing connectivity with instantaneous network adaptation in dynamic environments.
• Frequency hopping ECCM capability providing wideband communications with fast frequency agility across the 225–2600 MHz spectrum for protection against jamming and interference.
• Flexible bandwidth operation supporting instantaneous bandwidth options (3.6, 20 MHz; Future: 1.2, 10 MHz).
• Utilizes TrellisWare’s patented Barrage Relay technology, enabling massive scalability and instantaneous network adaptation.
• Simultaneous voice, PLI, data, and video within a MANET scalable to over 400 nodes.
• Megabit-class data throughput capacity with ECCM protection for ISR, video, and command-and-control applications.
• Field upgradeable for current generation TrellisWare SDRs supporting TSM and Katana waveform families.
• Unified ecosystem sharing a common software framework and networking services layer with TSM and Katana NB.
• Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) Commercial Security.
