Where You Cannot Transmit,
Scan, or Communicate,
Saltenna can help
Make previously impossible transmissions, communications, and imaging possible. Or, enhance your current platform’s performance by 10-100x, additionally with SWaP-C benefit. 99.999% operationally available and reliable. We build novel, game changing antenna systems and your major projects around them, to provide superior availability and reliability through the harshest environments. “If you can scan, communicate, or transmit-receive through seawater and metal faraday-caged walls, you can do so through anything.”
– Saltenna VP Specializing in advanced
electromagnetics and
metamaterials, producing
superior antenna technology “We are NOT acoustics or conventional RF. We harness SURFACE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES which ‘transmit’ differently through and across boundaries that those other waves cannot.
This produces capabilities that have NEVER been done before; in real-time, high data rate, high-frequency/broad-band RF communications and imaging, under seawater and across metal materials.”
– Saltenna VP Never achieved before wireless, live technologies! Secure communications, dielectrically differentiated imaging, and controls:

1) in seawater, even deep and far (over-the-horizon OTH)

2) through SCIFs, STTW/GPR, and metal containers

3) Navy/military - OTH, underwater (even from UAVs), and low-probability-of-intercept (LPI) and jamming

4) security for airports, maritime, seaports, shipping containers, bio/tissue

5) replace inferior 4/5G with Saltenna “FutureG”

6) Space - across hypersonic plasma layers

7) Superior alternative to anything using antennas: internet, radio, phone, GPS, metal detector, medical scanner, fish finder, depth sounder, etc.
 Underwater
Communications
& Imaging High-frequency/Broad-band RF communications between underwater unmanned assets over distances.
Saltenna has developed several patented antenna systems which significantly increase capacity for RF signal transmissions in undersea environments and in forthcoming 5G networks. These provide a considerable size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-C) advantage over current commercial options. Sense-through-the walls, SCIF communications, & penetrating RADAR/Imaging RF communication through conductive enclosures and secure workspaces (warehouses, shipping containers)
