WASHINGTON, Aug. 16, 2011  AUVSI, Booth #738 — FreeWave Technologies, manufacturer of the most reliable, high-performance spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, today announced its radios for government and defense applications have logged more than one million hours of flight time since the company began shipping its first military radio in 1997. The one million milestone represents a 20 percent increase in logged flight time since just one year ago demonstrating the continuing market momentum FreeWave’s wireless data radios are experiencing among government and defense OEMs. FreeWave will showcase its entire line of government and defense wireless data radios and provide hands-on demos of its latest technology at AUVSI 2011 (booth #738).

“We now have logged more than one million flight hours with some of the top military, government agencies and OEM’s around the world,” said Ashish Sharma, chief marketing officer at FreeWave Technologies. “FreeWave radios are proven to be reliable in adverse weather, difficult terrain, and have extreme noise immunity. Those features coupled with long-range high-speed capability, small footprint, light weight and extended battery life have become critical factors in our success.”
