ATAK connectivity is the map's weakest layer: lose the link and PLI freezes, chat stalls, and the common operating picture goes stale. ARC Edge puts every available path under your TAK stack — so the network fails over in under 50 milliseconds and the map never notices.
ATAK gives every operator the same picture — until the network under it fails. On a single-carrier link, one dead sector means frozen PLI, missed chat, stale imagery, and a TAK server nobody can reach. The icons stay on the screen; they just stop being true. And a common operating picture that's minutes old isn't common — it's a liability the team doesn't know it's carrying.
ARC Edge is application-aware and transport-agnostic: it carries ATAK PLI, chat, video, and TAK server sync exactly as they are — across every available path at once. Multiple carriers, satellite, Wi-Fi-as-WAN, wired uplink: one resilient network for ATAK.
Position reports, chat, and full-motion video ride 5+ aggregated paths with no single point of failure. When a link dies, traffic converges to the survivors in under 50 milliseconds.
The icons keep moving because the network never stopped.
Whether your TAK server sits in a cloud, an EOC, or a distant base, sync rides the best available paths every second — so the field and the server stay one picture, not two diverging ones.
Reachback becomes a property of the network, not a hope.
Transport-agnostic means exactly that: server addresses, data packages, plugins, and mesh stay untouched. Power the kit, and ARC Edge discovers and aggregates every reachable path in minutes.
Same ATAK. Same workflow. A network that finally matches it.
ATAK needs a network that stays up — PLI, chat, video, and TAK server sync are all live streams, and a stale link means a stale map. ARC Edge provides that network by aggregating every available path (cellular across multiple carriers, satellite, Wi-Fi-as-WAN, wired uplink) into one resilient link with no single point of failure, so ATAK connectivity holds through the operation.
No. ARC Edge is application-aware and transport-agnostic: it carries TAK traffic unchanged. Your TAK server address, data packages, plugins, and mesh setup stay exactly as they are — ARC Edge simply replaces the fragile single-carrier link underneath them with an aggregated, self-healing one.
Nothing your operators notice. ARC Edge runs 5+ paths simultaneously and converges traffic to the surviving links in under 50 milliseconds. PLI keeps updating, chat keeps flowing, and video stays live — that architecture is what sustains 99.97% session uptime, proven in the field at Hurricane Helene.
Reachback rides the same aggregated network as everything else. Whether your TAK server is in a cloud, at an EOC, or on a distant base, ARC Edge steers the sync across the best available paths every second — so the field stays synchronized with the server even as individual links come and go.
