09 Sep 25. INVISIO announces H-Series: A new generation of tactical smart hubs that drastically improves battlefield efficiency. Tactical communication expert INVISIO is announcing the H-Series, a new generation of tactical smart hubs for professionals in mission-critical environments. It unifies radios, sensors, EUDs, laptops, audio, and power into a single connected system resulting in a faster setup, fewer failure points, and quicker decisions under pressure.
Tactical smart hubs to unify hardware
Communication on today’s battlefield relies on data, not just voice. Soldiers carry radios, digital devices, batteries, smartphones, and laptops – often from different generations and vendors. These devices don’t naturally work together. Traditional hubs only pass power and signals, forcing operators to juggle adapters, manual setups, and device-specific apps. In high-pressure missions, that complexity can put success – and safety – at risk. A tactical smart hub is different. It unifies separate devices into one system. By removing all the complexity, it delivers faster access to mission-critical data, streamlined power distribution, and simplified control. The result is reduced cognitive load on the operator, and more focus on the mission.
H-Series: Designed for the modern battlefield
The INVISIO H-series meets the need of modern soldiers. It dramatically reduces operator burden and accelerates mission readiness by offering:
- Embedded computing: Mission-critical software can run on the hub itself, not just on the EUD. This reduces latency and keeps essential functions online.
- Data routing: The hubs act as a router; prioritizing and forwarding data between radios, EUDs, and sensors, so teams receive the right information at the right time.
- Centralized power control: Power is distributed and prioritized based on role or mission profile to maximize system run-time and keep the most critical devices alive.
- Open and updatable: An optimized operating system with secure boot, no storage of data-at-rest, a web-based configuration UI, and over-the-air updates turn the hub into an adaptable, serviceable asset, not a black box.
- Interoperability: Bridges legacy and modern devices, so organizations can modernize and interoperate with partners without full replacement.
Two models for different mission profiles
- H4: 4-port, low-profile, lightweight hub for streamlined setups.
- H6: 6-port hub with expanded connectivity for complex mission profiles.
“In dynamic tactical operations, being prepared and performing at speed are non-negotiable,” highlights Colin Argue, Product Line Director at INVISIO. “The H-Series delivers precisely this: empowering users with a simplified setup, faster coordination, and improved overall operational effectiveness.”
Preparing for what’s next in tactical operations
With the H-series, INVISIO is enabling organizations to prepare for a future of tactical operations that is increasingly software-defined, networked, and mobile. As platforms and systems evolve, hubs like the INVISIO H-Series will be key to bridging legacy systems with emerging tech. From drone feeds to Battle Management System overlays, the hub will enable the unification of equipment, faster sharing of information and greater precision in planning and execution.
“This launch reflects the broader direction of INVISIO; delivering modular and scalable systems that are ready for what’s next in modern missions,” says Lars Højgaard, CEO at INVISIO. “This is more than a product announcement. It’s a step toward the kind of integrated systems that modern operations demand. We’re committed to leading that shift.”
The H-Series is expected to be available for shipment in 2026, contact INVISIO for more information.
The H-Series will be presented at DSEI September 9-12 in London, booth number S13-510. Visit INVISIO there, or alternatively, visit Invisio.com or contact your local INVISIO representative.

03 Sep 25. Creomagic Expands Tactical Communications Ecosystem with the Launch of CreoEdge-Dome at DSEI 2025 Creomagic’s new solution delivers wide-area coverage and secure, high-bandwidth performance — keeping deployed forces seamlessly connected across the most challenging environments. Creomagic Ltd., a leading developer of advanced communication technologies, will unveil CreoEdge-Dome, a new tactical broadband communications solution with full, 360-degree coverage, that merges the resilience of MANET (Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks) technology with the capacity and efficiency of tactical cellular concepts. This milestone in Creomagic’s tactical communication solutions addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern operations – maintaining secure, high-capacity connectivity across broad operational zones without any infrastructure. Deployed mission-critical teams, from rescue units to security forces, cannot afford a moment of downtime. They need secure, high data rate connectivity everywhere, all the time. To achieve their mission objectives, they must operate as a single coordinated and effective entity, yet in practice are often spread across challenging terrains or regions lacking in infrastructure, not to mention congested and contested electronic environments. It is no surprise then that traditional comms systems struggle to deliver reliable, real-time connectivity across broad geographic zones, leaving gaps that compromise mission success. That is where Creomagic’s new platform comes in. CreoEdge-Dome operates as an easy-to-deploy, omnidirectional hub that creates a persistent, AI-assisted communications bubble for high-capacity voice, video and data transmission – regardless of any existing infrastructure. Inspired by 5G-grade efficiency, CreoEdge-Dome features dynamic resource scheduling and sectorized antennas with seamless sector handover. This allows users to move between sectors without interruption or having to re-establish links, delivering full, uncompromised, 360-degree coverage for ground, naval and joint-operation tactical units. Rugged and rapidly deployable, this “mobile tactical communications tower” provides throughput of up to 80 Mbps and wide-area coverage, with mast-mounted broadband reach for tactical zones, forward units and HQ links, along with long-range or directional links for bridging dispersed MANET clusters (thereby extending operational range). Capable of being vehicle- or carrier-mounted, CreoEdge-Dome transforms into a mobile broadband hub for surrounding units, seamlessly relaying video and data up the chain of command. CreoEdge-Dome integrates CreoNet advanced technologies, including MIMO technology, high-speed connectivity, dynamic spectrum management, smart power management, as well as frequency hopping capabilities and real-time intelligent interference avoidance – all to ensure stable communications for deployed forces in congested or contested RF environments. In addition, its self-forming, self-healing MANET architecture delivers built-in robustness and adaptability for any mission. Whether on land, at sea, or across multi-domain operations, CreoEdge-Dome delivers more data, less interference and a truly stable connection, enabling close coordination, instant intelligence sharing and enhanced situational awareness – without complex setup or the need for any additional equipment or mechanical tracking.
“CreoEdge-Dome was developed in direct response to operational demands from the field,” explained Alexander Shapochnik, CreoMagic’s CEO. “Deployed units need broadband connectivity everywhere, all the time – and CreoEdge-Dome delivers exactly that: secure, reliable communications over wide areas, without regard to the limitations of any fixed infrastructure. By seamlessly integrating with our existing systems – from CreoHub for infantry and mission-critical teams to CreoEdge for vehicles and maritime platforms – we are extending Creomagic’s tactical communications ecosystem into a complete, end-to-end, multi-domain network. This marks a true leap forward in how tactical networks are deployed and sustained.”
Creomagic will be showcasing CreoEdge-Dome along with its full range of advanced communications solutions for ground, marine and aerial platforms at DSEI 2025 (London, United Kingdom, 9-12 September, Stand# N11-216).
