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 tech-
niques 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 con nectivity 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.

?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.
1
Find the part number on the radio module. The radio module part number is on a sticker on the back of
the radio module.
2
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.
3
!WARNING!: DO NOT use mismatched antennas and radio modules. This configuration will result in very
poor performance and/or damage to the device. If you do not have matching antennas and radio modules,
contact Persistent Systems.
!WARNING!: DO NOT switch radio modules while device is powered on. Power off device before changing
radio modules.
!WARNING!: the MPU5 is not IP68 rated when the radio module is not attached. Ensure you are in a dry,
dust-free environment before changing radio modules.
!WARNING!: User MUST refer to the Professional Installer – Compliance Section of this manual for ap-
proved antenna types. This warning applies only to RF-2100 with the FCC ID 2AG3J-RF-2100 and RF-5100 with
the FCC ID 2AG3J-RF-5100.

Connecting Antennas
You can use a TPI Kit and/or extra LMR-400 RF Cables to remote antennas away from the unit. This setup is particu-
larly 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.
WARNING!: if you want to operate in SISO mode, unused antenna chains MUST be turned off (See p. 78).

!IMPORTANT INFORMATION!:
To communicate with an MPU5, the computer must have an IP address in the same subnet
mask as the MPU5’s IP address.
For example, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the computer and MPU5 will be able
to communicate if they share the same first three numbers in their respective IP addresses
(e.g. 10.3.1.10 and 10.3.1.254).
If the computer and MPU5 do not share a subnet mask, the computer and MPU5 will not
be able to communicate.
If either the computer or MPU5 do not have an IP address in the same subnet mask, the
computer and MPU5 device will not be able to communicate.

NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
CAUSED BY UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS TO THIS EQUIPMENT. SUCH MODIFICATIONS
COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.
NOTE II: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial envi-
ronment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harm-
ful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own
expense.
OPERATING FREQUENCY: Operating frequency is determined by the installer. It is important that
the frequency configured meets local regulations.

Notes:
*Occupational/controlled exposure limits apply in situations in which persons are exposed as a con-
sequence of their employment provided those persons are fully aware of the potential for exposure
and can exercise control over their exposure. Limits for occupational/controlled exposure also apply
in situations when a person is transient through a location where occupational/controlled limits
apply provided he or she is made aware of the potential for exposure. The phrase
fully aware
in the
context of applying these exposure limits means that an exposed person has received written and/
or verbal information fully explaining the potential for RF exposure resulting from his or her employ-
ment. With the exception of
transient
persons, this phrase also means that an exposed person has
received appropriate training regarding work practices relating to controlling or mitigating his or
her exposure. Such training is not required for
transient
persons, but they must receive written and/
or verbal information and notification (for example, using signs) concerning their exposure poten-
tial and appropriate means available to mitigate their exposure. The phrase
exercise control
means
that an exposed person is allowed to and knows how to reduce or avoid exposure by administrative
or engineering controls and work practices, such as use of personal protective equipment or time
averaging of exposure.
** Cable loss is the minimum cable loss that may exist between the antenna port and the 7.4dBi
antenna. 0.50dB cable loss was taken into consideration when calculating minimum distance.
