About Doodle Labs
Mesh Rider OS gives Doodle Labs' radios a common software foundation across embedded, vehicle and wearable formats. Integrators can use APIs, configure the waveform and install additional software directly on the radio. The Sense feature monitors interference and moves the network between available channels or bands as conditions change.
This supports networks in which robots exchange control traffic and payload data with operators and other machines. Wearable units connect user devices to the mesh and can extend access through cellular or satellite equipment. Firmware releases add capabilities to installed hardware, while OEM modules allow manufacturers to incorporate the same networking technology into their own platforms.
