For radio & SDR makers

Your radio is the hardware. We are the operating system.

You build powerful radios, and you ship them as hardware and an SDK. Your customers do not want a bare SDR, they want a finished capability they can put in an operator's hands. FORSYTE is the software layer that gets you there, without building it yourself. We make your radio work with FORSYTE, and you walk away with something that competes with what DroneShield, CACI and MyDefence sell.

Every other SDR application assumes the person holding it is an RF engineer. Yours probably does too, because that is who wrote it. FORSYTE is built to be operated by someone with no RF training at all, and that is the difference between selling a receiver and selling a capability.

What your radio becomes

One integration, two products to sell.

A man-portable RF awareness system

Passive sensing, on-device classification, and alerts spoken aloud in plain English. Your radio, in a bag, doing the job that used to need a rack and a specialist.

A shared operating picture

ARC turns single operators into a team working from one map. That is the part that moves your product from a sensor to a system, and it is the reason the same integration sells twice.

A product, not an SDK

A tactical map, a detection log, an export-ready record and TAK/CoT out of the box. The parts a hardware roadmap never gets to.

Why we can actually do this

Every radio is different. We have already proved we adapt.

FORSYTE runs on HackRF-class hardware and on RTL-SDR today, which are about as far apart as two receivers get. We built automatic signal recognition and classification, and made it work on a thirty dollar receiver.

We do not port the same feature set onto every radio and hope. We shape the software around what the hardware can actually do. A receiver with four RX tuners and 50 MHz of span on each can run several functions at once, so that is what we build for it. An RTL-SDR does less, so it does less, honestly, rather than pretending. Same software, fitted to the radio.

Tell us what your receiver does and we will tell you what FORSYTE would do on it.

How it works

From dev board to something your sales team can demo.

You send us the radio

The hardware itself, or its interface details. We work from your SDK, not around it.

We fit FORSYTE to it

Passive detection, on-device classification and spoken alerts, tuned to what your receiver is actually good at.

You sell a capability

A finished application your sales team demonstrates rather than describes, on the radio you already make.

The commercial side

You ship the radio. We licence the software.

Every unit that ships with FORSYTE on it needs a licence, and there are two ways to run that. Buy licences from us in bulk and fold them into your own pricing, or let your customers licence directly from us and keep the software off your books entirely. Whichever suits how you already sell.

We are not trying to sell radios, and we are never going to compete with you. We want FORSYTE running on as many of them as possible.

Next step

Send us your spec sheet.

Tuning range, sample rates, how many tuners, and who buys it. We will come back with what FORSYTE would do on your hardware, and what it takes to get to a demo.
