About the company
TrellisWare Technologies provides mission-proven connectivity for warfighters and first responders when traditional communications fail. Its TSM MANET waveform acts as a common language for a large ecosystem of tactical radios and unmanned systems, enabling devices to form a dynamic, self-organizing network in the field. Katana waveforms offer enhanced resilience, maintaining reliable links from permissive to highly contested environments. The company also offers broad-spectrum, multi-waveform software-defined radios (SDRs) that can run multiple communications protocols as needed. TrellisWare differentiates itself by delivering proven performance with real deployments (over 225,000 systems fielded), honest, transparent capability claims, and a focus on keeping mission teams connected in difficult scenarios. Its goal is to ensure reliable, coordinated communications for mission teams—so they stay connected and can operate effectively when lives are on the line.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- August 12, 2026 NGC2 tests validated 1,100+ radios across multiple Army formations.
- March 10, 2026 UK MoD selected TrellisWare for over 5,000 radios.
- June 2026 TW-145 deliveries and May 2026 TW-310 launches broaden addressable tactical markets.
What critics are saying
- Defense procurement concentration ties revenue to Army and UK Ministry timelines.
- L3Harris, Collins Aerospace, and Thales can bundle radios with larger platforms.
- If NGC2 adopts rival waveforms, TrellisWare's ecosystem advantage erodes within one budget cycle.
What makes TrellisWare Technologies unique
- TSM waveforms interoperate across 225,000+ fielded systems and coalition radios.
- September 7, 2026 TSP 1.3 added HDR+ and interoperability features.
- TW-145 and TW-310 extend TrellisWare into vehicles and UAS platforms.
