During last weeks FR Roadshow near Fredericksburg, Virginia, I got a chance to check out the new Dock-Lite from Kägwerks for the Galaxy S20 which will begin fielding as PRT of the Army’s Nett Warrior system.
The biggest thing about the Dock-Lite is that it integrates intra-soldier wireless (ISW) protocol into the 3-port hub. Additionally, there’s no EUD cable, relying instead on a single USB-C interface which is engaged when docked. At the front of the case, there are three programmable buttons. The USB-C cartridge is also replaceable and the whole thing is rated for dust, shock and immersion.
Kägwerks products are available for unit and agency purchase through Federal Resources.
Will Kaegwerks release this product to the public too? The first cable free Board-Phone Housing sounds pretty neat and deserves some attention by willing customers.
It’s listed right now on their e-commerce website for $295. I added it to my cart and clicked checkout. I didn’t get anything saying no slimy civilian purchases allowed. YMMV
What does the intra-soldier wireless (ISW) do? And which devices will ISW be compatible with?
It’s a government owned comms protocol which vendors interested in providing Soldier worn devices will need to integrate.
