Persistent Systems, founded in 2007, engineers and manufactures mobile networking solutions serving military, first responder, government, and commercial markets. What began as a two-person operation in Baltimore has grown into a significant defense contractor now headquartered in New York City, driven by a singular mission: "Network the battlefield. Connectivity drives mission success."
The company's technical depth spans Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET), Cloud Relay technology, smart radio engineering, unmanned vehicle networking, and situational awareness data transmission. Its flagship product, the MPU5, holds the distinction of being the world's first smart radio, delivering high-throughput, battlefield-ready networking capabilities. The Wave Relay® MANET and Cloud Relay™ platforms further extend this capability, transmitting voice, video, and situational awareness data in contested and congested environments where conventional communication systems fail.
Persistent Systems occupies a demanding niche at the intersection of defense technology and mobile networking. Engineers working here confront problems where reliability is not merely a commercial advantage but a matter of operational safety - designing systems that must perform when traditional infrastructure is unavailable or compromised. The company's solutions are deployed across military and first-responder contexts, placing a premium on rigorous engineering and mission-critical performance standards.
