Peraso, a pioneer in mmWave wireless technology solutions, has introduced the “PRM2145,” a new wireless communications module specifically designed to address the requirements of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), autonomous systems, and defense communications applications.
The launch of the PRM2145 marks an important expansion of Peraso’s product portfolio in the rapidly growing defense and UAV communications markets. Unlike conventional communications solutions operating in congested lower-frequency spectrum bands, the PRM2145 leverages Peraso’s proven 60 GHz mmWave technology platform to provide secure, low-latency, gigabit-class communications in a lightweight, compact module for airborne platforms with strict size, weight, and power constraints. To support mission-critical deployments, the PRM2145 is intended to enable robust command-and-control links, high-definition video transmission, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) data transport, identification friend or foe (IFF) communications, and drone-to-drone communications, while providing enhanced resistance to interference and electronic jamming.
The surging global adoption of drones across military, homeland security, public safety, and commercial applications is driving demand for secure communications technologies capable of delivering higher bandwidth, lower latency, and greater resilience than conventional radio systems.
“Autonomous systems are becoming an increasingly important component of modern defense, security, and commercial operations, creating significant demand for advanced communications solutions that can operate reliably in challenging radio frequency environments,” stated Ronald Glibbery, Chief Executive Officer of Peraso. “The PRM2145 was specifically developed to address this opportunity by utilizing Peraso’s industry-leading mmWave expertise to address the unique requirements of UAV communications. We believe the product is well positioned to support a broad range of emerging UAV applications, where reliability, security, low latency, and jam resistance are mission critical.“
By utilizing advanced beamforming technology, the module is designed to create highly directional links intended to be difficult to detect, intercept, or disrupt. This architecture is intended to provide significant advantages for defense and security applications, where communications resilience and operational security are paramount.
Key features of the PRM2145 include:
- Purpose-built architecture optimized for UAV and drone communications
- Gigabit-class wireless throughput
- Ultra-low-latency communications for real-time control and video transport
- Advanced beamforming technology with highly directional links
- Enhanced resistance to jamming, interference, and spectrum congestion
- Lightweight and compact construction specifically designed for airborne platforms
- Support for secure point-to-point and networked communications
- Rapid integration into defense, public safety, industrial, and commercial drone systems
Market demand for resilient UAV communications continues to accelerate, as governments and commercial operators increase investments in autonomous platforms. Industry analysts project significant long-term growth in both the global UAV market and the associated communications infrastructure required to support sophisticated airborne systems. Peraso believes it is well positioned to capitalize on these trends by delivering differentiated mmWave-based solutions that address critical performance and security requirements not readily achievable with traditional wireless technologies.
“The introduction of the PRM2145 demonstrates Peraso’s strategy of leveraging its core mmWave intellectual property and technology leadership to address high-value market opportunities beyond traditional fixed wireless access applications,” said Mike Hamilton, Vice President of Business Development at Peraso. “We continue to see substantial interest in secure communications technologies for defense and autonomous systems, and we believe the PRM2145 strengthens our position in these attractive and expanding markets.“
The PRM2145 is expected to be available in Q4 2026 for customer evaluation and is designed for integration into a broad range of unmanned and autonomous platforms, including tactical drones, loitering munitions, ISR systems, autonomous ground vehicles, and advanced robotic systems.
