Covert High-Bandwidth Comms
Whisper
Whisper is an advanced, covert communication solution leveraging 60 GHz WiGig RF technology to deliver high-bandwidth, low probability of intercept/detection (LPI/LPD) comms.
Whisper is a state-of-the-art 60 GHz WiGig RF communication technology, designed to excel in covert and contested environments. Leveraging the IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11ay standards, Whisper achieves exceptional speeds of up to 7+ Gb/s while maintaining inherent low-probability of intercept (LPI) and low-probability of detection (LPD) characteristics.
Unlike proprietary RF protocols, Whisper’s use of commercially available WiGig ensures compatibility and cost-efficiency without sacrificing performance. Its small form factor and high-frequency operation make it a discreet yet powerful solution for modern tactical and operational needs.

Whisper Benefits & Features
Designed and assembled in CTI’s Columbus, Ohio facility, Whisper offers advanced encryption options (AES 128, AES 256) and beamforming capabilities, enhancing reliability while minimizing susceptibility to environmental factors like dust and humidity. Its robust design supports a range of use cases, from wireless personnel area networks (WPANs) and intra-vehicle communication, to covert, high-bandwidth wireless data transfers. Whisper is the ideal solution for secure and efficient communication in today’s Invisible Battlespaces.
Covert Communications
Operates on 60 GHz WiGig frequencies, ensuring low probability of intercept/detection with limited RF range due to atmospheric oxygen absorption.
High-Bandwidth
Delivers speeds up to 7Gb/s using the IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11ay wireless standards, avoiding proprietary hardware or protocols.
Compact & Concealable
Small form factor hardware requires minimal space and is easy to transport, assemble, and integrate into vehicles.
Whisper Wireless Access Point
Creates a secure WiGig wireless hotspot with optional TAK Server integration for enhanced tactical communication.
Advanced Beamforming
Beamforming improves reliability and minimizes detection while offering resistance to environmental factors like humidity and dust.
Rugged & Reliable
Designed to withstand the challenges of modern operating environments, ensuring durability across a variety of mission-critical use cases.
Encryption Options
Whisper supports multiple encryption options, including unencrypted, AES 128, and AES 256, allowing users to tailor security to their mission requirements.
Flexible Deployment
Supports wireless personnel area networks (WPANs), intra-vehicle communication, and covert data transfers like "wireless dead drops."
Made in the USA
WAVE’s beamforming capability provides increased reliability and better LPI/LPD while not being subject to humidity or dust.
Whisper Use Cases
Localized Situational Awareness for Low/No-Vis Operations
Whisper creates a secure TAK bubble within a vehicle, enabling operators to share real-time data and updates without relying on external networks. This capability is vital during low-visibility missions, where maintaining localized situational awareness is crucial to mission success.
High-Bandwidth Intra-Vehicle Communication
Whisper facilitates a wireless communication network within the vehicle, connecting multiple devices such as tablets, laptops, and mobile phones. This eliminates the need for physical cables, reducing clutter and enhancing operational efficiency in dynamic environments.
Next-Gen Vehicle Connectivity
Whisper’s roadmap includes enabling Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Anything (V2X) communications. These advancements will support covert wireless data exfiltration and extended situational awareness, revolutionizing tactical mission coordination.
