The SideBridge module interfaces directly with a tactical radio to enhance secure wireless connectivity with a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth enabled device. The SideBridge module expands communications options available from voice only to the wealth of applications available on a standard smart phone – imaging, data and video. The smart phone is integrated with the tactical radio’s network and does not require 3G or 4G networking to operate, thereby avoiding unwanted transmissions from the smart phone.

The SideBridge module is a low cost, easy to use solution enabling superior communications previously unavailable to most tactical radio users.
