TCP/IP starts every connection with a three-way handshake between two nodes. It works beautifully in datacenters, on fiber, and through cellular towers — anywhere you can afford latency. Past 20 nodes in Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) communications environments, it collapses.
We built PULSE to solve a piece of that problem.
This 90-second visualization shows what happens when acknowledgment-based protocols (such as TCP/IP) hit scale they were not designed for, and what changes when receivers stay silent unless they miss something. Happy to chat about the math we used for this visualization and the impacts on systems. 95 to 99 percent less protocol overhead. Validated to virtual 1,000 nodes. Built for the DDIL environments where warfighters, crewed and uncrewed vehicles, and their sensors have to operate.
PULSE is a software component, not a full-stack solution. Partners do the rest. We integrate into what they already run.
If you are interested in learning more, DM me.
I will be at SOF Week in Tampa and Michigan Tech Week in Detroit next week. Always open to meet up for a chat.
