RIAB Applications
The Kerberos Radio-In-A-Box (RIAB) is deployed across a wide range of operational contexts — from emergency broadcast and tactical communications to humanitarian operations, public information campaigns, and community radio programming.
Emergency Broadcast System
The Kerberos RIAB functions as a deployable emergency broadcast system for disaster response, public warning, and crisis communications. When fixed infrastructure is damaged or unavailable, a RIAB unit can be on the air within 30 minutes, delivering emergency alerts, evacuation instructions, and public safety information to a wide audience via FM radio — the most accessible broadcast medium in most emergency environments.
Tactical Communications Support
Military and government operations require reliable, wide-area broadcast capability for tactical communications support. The Kerberos Radio-In-A-Box provides a field radio broadcast system that can be deployed rapidly, operated by non-specialist personnel, and controlled remotely via SATCOM or cellular reachback. It supports civil-military operations, counter-disinformation campaigns, and information operations in conflict and post-conflict environments.
Public Information Campaigns
Government agencies and international organizations use the Kerberos RIAB to deliver public information campaigns in areas where digital media penetration is low and FM radio remains the primary information channel. The system supports structured programming, scheduled broadcasts, and live or pre-recorded content delivery across a wide geographic area.
Field Radio Broadcast Operations
The Kerberos RIAB is a purpose-built field radio broadcast system for operations in remote or austere environments. It requires no permanent infrastructure, operates on generator or DC power, and can be transported by vehicle or aircraft to locations where conventional broadcast equipment cannot be deployed. Remote reachback capability allows content to be fed from a distant studio or operations center.
Humanitarian Broadcast Operations
Humanitarian organizations deploy the Kerberos Radio-In-A-Box to provide information services to displaced populations, refugee communities, and conflict-affected civilians. FM radio reaches populations regardless of literacy level, language, or access to digital devices. The RIAB has been deployed in refugee camp environments, IDP settlements, and post-conflict communities across more than 26 countries.
Local Programming and Community Radio
The Kerberos RIAB supports local programming operations including news, weather, music, and community announcements. Its broadcast automation system enables scheduled programming without continuous operator presence. Local operators can produce and air content using the integrated audio system, while remote operators can feed content from a central location via the reachback link.
