Military-grade mesh radio systems for tactical communications
Silvus Technologies develops MIMO-based mesh radios for defense and tactical communications, acquired by Motorola Solutions in 2025. The tech stack—C/C++, FPGA, ARM, RISC-V, and custom StreamCaster hardware—reflects deep embedded systems work. Hiring is heavily weighted toward engineering (48 roles) with accelerating velocity, while pain points cluster around DOD program integration, manufacturing yield, and scaling product management discipline, signaling operational maturity challenges as the company integrates into a larger defense contractor.

Silvus Technologies builds advanced mesh networking radios designed for military and tactical operations, enabling secure, self-healing connectivity across line-of-sight and non-line-of-sight environments. The product suite centers on MANET radios and the StreamCaster product line, which support video and high-bandwidth data over multi-hop networks. Following acquisition by Motorola Solutions in 2025, the company operates within a larger publicly traded defense and safety-focused ecosystem. Based in Los Angeles with 201–500 employees, Silvus operates primarily in the United States and maintains engineering, research, and manufacturing operations aligned with DOD procurement and regulatory requirements.
Silvus uses MIMO, COFDM, mesh networking, and software-defined radio architectures. The engineering stack includes C/C++, FPGA (Xilinx), ARM/RISC-V processors, MATLAB, and custom StreamCaster hardware for adaptive tactical communications.
StreamCaster is Silvus' MANET product line—a mesh networking radio system designed for secure, reliable tactical communications. It forms self-healing networks and supports video and high-bandwidth data transmission in challenging RF environments.
