In the field, every watt and every minute count. The Wave Relay® devices' Sleep/Wake feature gives operators the ability to schedule when a node powers up or down, preserving battery life and maintaining radio silence until the mission calls for action. Consider a forward-deployed network where fixed nodes must remain silent overnight, from 1900 to 0700. Without automation, that would mean driving out each morning to manually re-enable every node, a process that wastes time and increases exposure. With Sleep/Wake, those nodes come online automatically at the scheduled time, ready to connect without compromising position or efficiency. It’s one more way the Wave Relay® MANET gives operators control over power, presence, and performance in the most demanding environments.
