Military-grade MANET waveforms and software-defined radios for mission-critical comms
TrellisWare builds waveforms and radio systems for defense, public safety, and autonomous platforms operating in degraded RF environments where commercial networks fail. The tech stack—C++, Python, FPGA, DSP, embedded Linux on ARM—reflects deep firmware and signal-processing work; hiring is concentrated in engineering with a seniority skew toward senior roles, suggesting they're scaling complex subsystem development and system integration rather than volume hiring. Active projects around next-generation hand-held radios, system architecture, and customer integration point to a product-led roadmap moving beyond traditional tactical radio form factors.
Notable leadership hires: Operations Director, Director IT, Account Director
TrellisWare Technologies, founded in 2000, designs and manufactures mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) waveforms, software-defined radios, and tactical radio systems for defense, public safety, and uncrewed vehicle markets. The company's waveform technology—TSM, WREN-NB, and forward error correction algorithms—enables mission-critical voice and data communications in contested, spectrum-constrained, or severely degraded environments where conventional networks are unreliable. Products range from small form-factor radio modules to fully integrated solutions supporting hundreds of nodes; the company operates across the United States, Netherlands, and Philippines. Key operational challenges include defense-sector compliance, supply-chain constraints, and porting third-party radio software into their platform.
