PERSISTENT SYSTEMS
Headquartered in New York City since 2007, Persistent Systems LLC is a global communications
technology company which develops, manufactures and integrates a patented and secure Mobile
Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) system: Wave Relay® . The company’s industry-leading R&D team has
designed wireless networking protocols to support their cutting edge Wave Relay® system and has
designed MIMO radios to allow the Wave Relay® MANET to achieve its highest potential. Wave Relay®
is capable of running real-time data, video, voice and other applications under the most difficult and
unpredictable conditions. Their suite of products is field proven and utilized in Commercial, Military,
Government, Industrial, Agriculture, Mining, Oil and Gas, Robotics, and Unmanned System markets.
THE MPU5
The MPU5 is the Next Generation Wave Relay® platform. Leveraging multiple leading edge technologies
such as MIMO and Android™, the MPU5 is a smart radio that delivers increased performance, reliability,
and capability to the end user in a small, cost-efficient package. Stream multiple HD Video feeds, run
commercial and custom apps, view situational awareness, and communicate with high quality audio
all with a single device and a minimal number of accessories.
WAVE RELAY® MANET
The Wave Relay® System is a peer-to-peer wireless MANET networking solution in which there is no
master node. If any device fails, the rest of the devices continue to communicate using any remaining
connectivity. By eliminating master nodes, gateways, access points, and central coordinators from the
design, Wave Relay® delivers high levels of fault tolerance regardless of which nodes might fail. The
system is designed to maximize the capacity of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum and to minimize
the network overhead. While optimizing efficiency, Wave Relay® also implements tech­niques that
increase multicast reliability. The advanced multicast functionality allows the system to support both
multicast voice and video over IP.
Wave Relay® is designed to maintain high bandwidth con­nectivity among devices that are on the
move. The system is scalable, enabling it to incorporate unlimited meshed devices into the wireless
network, where the devices themselves form the communication infrastructure. Even in highly dynamic
environments, the system is able to maintain connectivity by rapidly re-routing data as necessary. Wave
Relay® is a self-forming and self-healing network where nodes can move freely within the network.
Critical information flows reliably throughout the network while individual data paths are able to adapt at
sub-second intervals. This unique approach creates an ideal environment for maximizing performance
across the available communications medium. Customers leverage Wave Relay®’s straight forward and
effective architecture to enable a true “Plug and Play” capability. Deploying a Wave Relay® network is as
simple as connecting a standard Ethernet cable; customers are immediately connected to everything on
the network.
Wave Relay® is a seamless wireless networking system offering a dynamic and reliable solution for all
mobile networking needs. The MPU5 offers the Wave Relay® MANET combined with other leading
edge technologies in a single smart radio.

PHYSICAL SETUP: RF SETUP
WARNING!: User MUST refer to the Professional Installer – Compliance Section of this manual for approved antenna types.
How do I tell if my antennas and radio modules are compatible?
Find the part numbers on the antennas. Antenna part numbers are on a sticker wrapped around the base
of the antenna.
Find the part number on the radio module. The radio module part number is on a sticker on the back of
the radio module.
Each part number will begin with ANT- (antennas) or RF- (radio modules) followed by four (4) digits. The
first digit references the radio band of the part. Make sure that the first digit of the antennas and radio
module match.
Quick Reference:
ANT- or RF-1xxx – L-Band (1.35 - 1.39 GHz)
ANT- or RF-2xxx – S-Band (2.2 - 2.5 GHz; EDM: 2.3 - 2.5 GHz)
ANT- or RF-3xxx – C-Band (4.4 - 4.8 GHZ or 4.9 - 5.8 GHz) *in development
WARNING!: DO NOT use mismatched antennas and radio modules. This configuration will result in very
poor performance if it works at all. If you do not have matching antennas and radio modules, contact Persistent
Systems.

Connecting Antennas
Start with the middle
antenna port.
Tips & Tricks
Align the RF connector
on the antenna with the
RF connector on the unit.
Twist the antenna clockwise until it is fully mated.
▶▶ You can use a TPI Kit and/or extra LMR-400 RF Cables to remote antennas away from the unit. This setup is particularly useful for mounted or operations center configurations.
▶▶ To operate in SISO mode, you only need to attach an antenna to the antenna port for the chain you want to use.
22
WARNING!: if you want to operate in SISO mode, unused antenna chains MUST be turned off.

Repeat Steps 1 - 3 for
the remaining two RF
antennas.
Align the SMA connector on the GPS antenna
with the SMA connector
on the unit.

Twist the antenna clockwise until it is fully mated.
23
PHYSICAL SETUP: RF SETUP
How do I ensure that the radio
module is aligned properly?
The three RF connectors on the radio module will
align with the three RF connectors on the chassis.
When aligned properly, the engraved writing on the
radio module will be facing the same direction as
the writing on the chassis.
24
What do I do if the antennas won’t
screw onto the RF connectors?
Ensure that you are using antennas with RP-TNC
Male connectors or an appropriate adapter from
your TPI kit.
Ensure that the connectors on both the unit and
antennas are not damaged.
Ensure that there are no foreign objects in any of
the connectors.
What do I do if the radio module
won’t insert into the chassis?
Ensure that the radio module is aligned properly.
Ensure that the connectors on the radio module are
not bent.
Ensure that there are no foreign objects in any of
the connectors, on the bottom of the radio module,
or in the chassis well.
How do I tell if the antennas are
connected properly?
When an antenna is mated properly, the threads on
the connector will not be visible. However, there
may be a small space between the antenna and the
chassis.

How can I use my old power accessories from previous Wave Relay products with my
MPU5?
You can use your MPU4 twist locking battery pack or BB batteries with the MPU5. You CANNOT use old battery
eliminators with the MPU5. The MPU5 accepts 12 - 24V input power, unlike previous Wave Relay® products.
You CANNOT power the MPU5 via Power over Ethernet (PoE).
