The Wave Relay MANET

The Wave Relay MANET is a dynamic routing algorithm that delivers reliable, fast, and highly scalable connectivity – the heart and soul of Persistent’s networking devices.

Our technology transforms UAVs, UGVs, cameras, sensors, and people into a global fabric of connectivity to stream uninterrupted audio, video, and data even in difficult urban, subterranean, mountainous, or maritime environments.

With a single device, warfighters and first responders get real-time knowledge to make the informed, split-second decisions necessary to complete their mission and return safely.

In this first episode, Sam Pera sits down with Adam Holroyd - Army veteran, former 10th Mountain, and Co-Founder of Spiritus Systems. If you follow Adam or know the brand, you’ll hear things here you probably haven’t before. That’s what makes this conversation different. There’s more to him than most people see. Beyond Line-of-Sight is a long-form conversation series focused on people. Persistent Systems is connected to a wide range of interesting individuals, some well-known, some you'd never hear from otherwise. This series we sit down with people worth listening to and go deeper than the surface. 00:00 Introduction & Meet Adam Hoy 05:30 Joining the Army & 10th Mountain Division 12:20 First Deployment to Kunar Province 20:15 Sniper Section, Stop-Loss & Sniper School 32:15 Second Deployment & Leadership Growth 42:55 9/11 Reflections & Personal Perspective 47:15 Operation Mountain Line — Logistics & Hard Lessons 57:30 The Battle for Barge Matal & Nuristan Fighting 01:07:05 JSOC Operations & Daily Combat 01:10:20 The RPG Fire Incident Under Attack 01:20:25 The Silver Star — Lost, Found & Awarded 01:29:30 Transition to Civilian Life & Closing Thoughts For more info on the Wave Relay® MANET, check us out at https://bit.ly/1FiPrO6 Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2UXaBg7 Follow Us on Linkedin: http://bit.ly/2N7vwd Follow Us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/2BBW4PI Follow Us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/36B7K5E Like Us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/2USsixc #PersistentSystems #WaveRelay

The Man Behind Spiritus Systems: Adam Holroyd | BLOS ep.#001

February 17, 2026

This is a peak into our 2026 Shot Show. At the Persistent Systems booth, the focus isn’t on individual platforms. It’s on the network. Attendees run MPU5 radios, control robotics, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and sensors, and see what changes when those systems stop operating alone. With Wave Relay onboard, a robot isn’t just an EOD robot. A drone isn’t just an eye in the sky. They become members of a team. Sensors, video, control, and data are shared across the Wave Relay mesh network—accessible to anyone who needs them. Every connected system strengthens the network, adds routing paths, and creates more ways for information to move. The value isn’t the device. It’s what the network lets the team do. We also spent time walking SHOT Show 2025, checking in with companies whose gear we use, trust, or see our military and law enforcement end users running in the real world. Stops included Spiritus Systems, Ferro Concepts, Flux Defense, Ops-Core, MOHOC, and others. Back at the booth, the Wave Relay ecosystem was on full display—Hood Tech sensors, FLIR unmanned systems, Boston Dynamics robotics, and Peraton Remotec UGVs—all operating as part of a single, shared tactical network. This episode is about SHOT Show, but more importantly it’s about experience over specs.

WAVE RELAY | Max Gain Ep. 7: SHOT Show 2026

January 31, 2026

Spain, Part 3 closes out the series and wraps SOFEX. This episode stays focused on combined operations at scale—air, ground, ISR, and unmanned systems operating simultaneously. Elements move across terrain without stopping to reconfigure or rebuild. Captured alongside Spain’s special operations community under Mando Conjunto de Operaciones Especiales, bringing Army and Naval SOF together in a single operating picture. As movement and geometry change, the network adapts without user intervention. No central hub. No handoffs. No pause in data flow. This is the final chapter from Spain. Watch Parts 1 and 2 for full context.

WAVE RELAY | Max Gain Ep. 6: Spain the Finale

January 17, 2026

Spain Pt. 2 puts us inside live combined operations with Spain’s Tier One Special Operations under MCOE (Mando Conjunto de Operaciones Especiales), working directly with MOE and FGNE. The focus is maneuver and coordination at scale— helicopter insertions onto objectives, vehicle interdiction from the air, ISR-driven targeting supporting the assault, and unmanned ground systems used for EOD at bomb-making and narcotics lab sites. Wave Relay scaled across air, ground, fires, ISR, and unmanned systems without segmentation or handoffs. As everything moved—separating, closing distance, changing direction—the network automatically shifted traffic to better paths before anything dropped. For the end user, that means video stays up, targeting data keeps flowing, and comms don’t become another problem to manage while the operation is already moving fast. No single failure point. Just continuous connectivity. If you want to see how this operation continues—and how the network is pushed even harder—Part 3 is coming. Subscribe to stay with the series, and hit like if you want more access like this. This isn’t a demo. It’s modern combined arms, run at speed.

WAVE RELAY | Max Gain Ep. 5: Spain Part 2

January 3, 2026

We’re taking you inside one of the largest multi-domain exercises conducted by Spain. New terrain. New challenges. The entire exercise runs on Wave Relay. Every team. Every sensor. Every feed. One network—extended beyond line of site and scaled with Cloud Relay across a massive geographical area. Highlights from Ep. 4: Air insert. Maritime insert. Different domains. Same operational picture. 👇 Let us know what country we should train with next 👍 Like, comment, subscribe, and stay locked for part 2 For more info on the Wave Relay® MANET, check us out at https://bit.ly/1FiPrO6 Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2UXaBg7 Follow Us on Linkedin: http://bit.ly/2N7vwd Follow Us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/2BBW4PI Follow Us on Instagram: https://bit.ly/36B7K5E Like Us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/2USsixc #PersistentSystems #WaveRelay #PSWaveRelay #MaxGainSeries #Episode4 #Spain #International #MaxGain #YouTubeSeries

WAVE RELAY | Max Gain Ep. 4: Spain

December 20, 2025

We spent a week at the Direct Action Resource Center — a training facility known for reality-based, stress-driven instruction. DARC focuses on live-fire and non-live-fire urban training, asymmetric problem sets, low-light work, and hostage-rescue style scenarios built to expose gaps in communication, coordination, and decision-making.

WAVE RELAY | Max Gain Ep. 3: DARC

December 6, 2025

In this episode of Max Gain, we’re in Las Vegas working with a local SAR and SWAT team to demo what it looks like when you link every sensor, camera, boat, board, and human onto one network—no matter who built the hardware. All of it—robots, sensors, sonar, drones, divers, boats, and the people running the mission—flows into one common network. One picture. One truth. Sensors can cue sensors. Robots can respond to data from drones. Divers can see updates from their EUD without waiting for someone to relay it over voice. Because real missions don’t come with a single-vendor loadout. They come with whatever the team has on hand. Wave Relay makes it work together.

WAVE RELAY | Max Gain Ep. 2: Las Vegas

November 22, 2025

This is Ep 1 of Max Gain. This one is a quick peek at some recent military freefall training. Why freefall for Ep 1? It’s because skydiving is pretty good at exposing weak equipment…. especially when that equipment is tactical radios falling at terminal velocity. Truthfully, the only thing that’s constant when falling out the sky is change. Distances between radios, angles, interference—everything shifts constantly. It’s physics at full speed, and every movement, every change in proximity, affects the data rates between every device on the network. Most networks struggle here because they weren’t designed for constant change. If your FaceTime call gets worse when you step outside of your house, imagine what happens at 120 mph with an entire battlefield worth of devices trying to share and receive data at the same time. Wave Relay assumes nothing stays fixed. Whether it’s a foot patrol at a walking speed or a stick of operators falling to earth, the network treats change as the only certainty. Every node is always evaluating the environment and picking the best path when its presented. So, movement is not a disruption. It’s not a forced change to the entire network and it's not a failover. It’s just another moment in a network that’s already designed to live in a permanent state of change.
