Fenix Group

What Fenix Group does

Fenix Group, Inc. is a U.S. defense technology systems integrator headquartered in Chantilly, Virginia, founded in 2016 by combat veterans and now operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nokia Federal Solutions following Nokia's May 2024 acquisition. The company's core offering is the Banshee Edge Networks platform — patented transport-agnostic persistent networks that integrate LTE, MANET, and mesh networking into multi-modal communications systems capable of delivering up to 300 Mbps broadband to hundreds of users per node, meshing across nodes in a hub-and-spoke architecture, and operating without reliance on satellite, cloud, or higher echelon command infrastructure. The product portfolio spans hardware (Banshee Tactical Radio supporting up to 256 devices, Banshee Mobile Radio supporting up to 800 devices, Talon PUC MANET radio with up to 25 Mbps bandwidth), software (Soothsayer RF planning, SIM Manager), and mission modules (GODSEND physiological monitoring, Banshee SIM Cards).

The company sells primarily to U.S. military branches — Navy, Marine Corps, Army, and JSOC — through direct enterprise field sales, with international deployments and channel partnerships serving the British Army and allied forces in Brazil, Peru, Belgium, and Holland. Revenue is generated through quote-based, multi-year defense contracts and programs of record (CAGE code 7RX81), with hardware sales as the primary revenue stream. Fenix Group holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and maintains a partner ecosystem that includes Oracle Defense Ecosystem membership, Silvus Technologies and Iris Technology integrations, CloudRF RF planning software, NetNumber, Thales, DefendTex (sUAS), Tyto Athene, Federal Resources, and Maser Defence (Australia). The company's mission is to deliver battlefield intelligence at the edge by connecting drones, augmented reality-enabled robots, loitering munitions, and sensor ecosystem endpoints into a unified communications fabric that increases soldier lethality and allows smaller teams to control larger areas.
