The First Separate Brigade of Territorial Defense named after Ivan Bohun has conducted tests on the new HIMERA G1 PRO radios, achieving reliable communication without additional equipment over a distance of 45 km. This was reported by the manufacturer, Himera Radios.

According to the company, a mesh communication mode was employed during the tests. In this mode, each radio simultaneously receives and transmits signals, acting as a relay.

This allows for data transmission and ensures stable communication in critical situations. A total of four HIMERA G1 PRO radios were used in the testing.

The developers explained that mesh communication is one of the key trends in modern tactical communications as it significantly expands the operational range.

In other words, signals can be transmitted even to locations that are not in the direct line of sight of one or several transmitters. In this mode, signals are 'bounced' from one radio to another, allowing not only voice commands but also other data to be transmitted.

Thus, utilizing mesh communication enables soldiers to hear each other even in challenging terrain and when some nodes are lost.

Previously, the 'Chartia' brigade deployed the Himera communication system using drones, employing autonomous B1 relays and R1 IP-connected relays.
