TSM^® Waveform

The TrellisWare® TSM® waveform is a highly scalable and robust MANET waveform designed from the ground up to support extremely large networks with simultaneous voice, data, video, and Position Location Information (PLI) operating in a single radio frequency channel. It is enabled by TrellisWare’s patented Barrage™ Relay technology, which eliminates routing, provides unrivaled scalability, and uses less spectrum than any other MANET technology.

TSM also provides enhanced network throughput, flexible bandwidth, adaptability, and waveform portability. It is available in low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) SDRs, and is easily embedded into platforms ranging from commercial micro uncrewed aerial systems to tactical radios. TSM is supported by the Trellis//Sphere® ecosystem, delivering a powerful network that enables seamless interoperability between partner platforms, sensors, and systems.

The TSM waveform is the industry standard for resilient communications and features the following capabilities:

• Modern, resilient, tactical wideband MANET waveform – automatically adapts to link outages and rapid multi-hop network topology changes caused by on-the-move operation in urban and other severe multipath environments.
• Services: voice, Ethernet-based data, including unicast and multicast HD video, and Position Location Information (PLI).
• Provides over 50 Mbps single-hop throughput, supporting single and multi-hop SD/HD video, chat, and file transfer.
• Supports 26 miles per hop and 205 miles per hop in Long Range mode
• Industry-leading scalability with no inherent ceiling, TSM has been proven in large-scale testing with 800+ radios in a single network, delivering rapid, network-wide PLI updates.
• Optional Barrage™ Beamforming – Enables distributed cooperative beamforming among mobile nodes, providing an N^2 effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) gain at the selected destination.
• Access to a wide spectrum range that includes the UHF band, L-band, and S-band frequencies on a single radio.
• Program of Record (PoR) networking waveform for US Army, US Marine Corps, US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), and coalition partners.
• Supports mixed classified/unclassified High Assurance and Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) networks.
