What Freedom Atlantic does
Freedom Atlantic, Inc. is a privately held, service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) headquartered in Canton, Ohio with a satellite presence in Camas, Washington. The company engineers C5ISR technology solutions that optimize decentralized command and control (DC2) for dismounted U.S. military and Special Operations warfighters, addressing communication-system failures caused by reception loss, battery limitations, and equipment over-encumbrance. Its core offering is a portfolio of ruggedized tactical communications hardware — specialty USB-C and ODU cables (S1, S2, EUD Power and Data PD, USB-C to PRC-163 PD, USB-C to Ethernet), battery and device adapters (STUB SBNVG, STUB PVS31-A, Juggernaut OPRTR), controllers (ENVG-B Controller & Hub, Mini-Secure Communications Controller via Trident), and UAV antennas (Apollo FIN Omni) — supplemented by the LEGBA software app for AES 256-CBC-encrypted voice over IP interoperable with Motorola Wave, Cisco Interconnect, Trellisware, Persistent Systems, and Silvus ROIP infrastructure.
The company's technology base extends into integrated systems through the WedgeX power and data distribution hub co-developed with OTTO Engineering, a Tethered Drone Package integrating Silvus and Trillium components, and a Counter-UAS solution developed with USAS, MatrixSpace, and Trillium. Freedom Atlantic also holds exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights to Cornerstone Research Group's advanced low-temperature Li-metal battery cell chemistry for MBITR and STUB batteries, and operates an e-commerce storefront for partner products from Axil and Trident.
Commercially, Freedom Atlantic generates revenue through quote-based, multi-year hardware sales directly to the U.S. Department of Defense and Special Operations customers, supplemented by partner-product resale through its Shopify storefront. It markets via its website and product catalog, LinkedIn and Instagram presence, and participation in defense industry events such as Modern Warfare Week, Defense Techconnect Innovation Summit, and U.S. Army Technical Exchange Meetings. The company is led by CEO Nate Donham, a retired Special Operations Forces IT leader, and is positioned as a niche, veteran-led systems integrator for tactical edge communications, power management, and emerging UAV and counter-UAS missions.

Freedom Atlantic competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Trellisware Technologies: TrellisWare builds the TW-950/900 tactical radio family and is integrated via LEGBA. Comparable customer (US Army/DoD tactical edge) and overlapping scope in tactical radio and mesh networking products.
- Persistent Systems: Persistent Systems builds the MPU5 family of tactical radios and mesh networking nodes — the same radio platforms FA's S1/S2 cables, MPU5 ECHO PTT, and WedgeX integrate against. Highly comparable customer base (DoD/SOF) and overlapping product scope in tactical comms accessories.
- Silvus Technologies: Silvus provides mesh radio hardware (e.g., SC4400) used in Freedom Atlantic's Tethered Drone Package and is a target ROIP system integrated by LEGBA. Both serve dismounted/SOF tactical communications with rugged RF hardware.
- OTTO Engineering: OTTO Engineering is Freedom Atlantic's core co-development partner on the WedgeX power/data hub and a producer of tactical headsets, push-to-talk devices, and radio accessories for DoD/SOF. It is the most directly comparable peer in defense comms accessories and a partial channel overlap.
Emerging players
- goTenna: goTenna builds small-form-factor mesh networking devices for tactical and public-safety users, conceptually adjacent to FA's mesh/ROIP interoperability focus via LEGBA and the Counter-UAS RF mesh integration. Smaller-scale peer with comparable mission profile.
- MatrixSpace: MatrixSpace is Freedom Atlantic's partner on the Counter-UAS solution, providing long-range radar detection. Comparable as a small, defense-focused sensor company with commercial-off-the-shelf offerings targeting DoD UAS threats.
- Dragoon Technology: Dragoon Technology is a defense small business focused on tactical power and communications accessories for DoD, an SDVOSB-adjacent niche similar to Freedom Atlantic's cables, hubs, and battery offerings. Provides an external benchmark for sub-scale defense accessory businesses.
Broad incumbents
- L3Harris Technologies: L3Harris is a defense prime with a broad tactical communications, vision systems (ENVG-B), and electronic systems portfolio. It is the prime contractor for many platforms (e.g., ENVG-B) FA's adapters and controllers plug into, making it the most relevant incumbent benchmark.
- Motorola Solutions: Motorola Solutions owns the Wave ROIP platform that LEGBA interops with, and is a broader incumbent in defense/public-safety radios, command-and-control software, and tactical accessories. Provides a large-scale reference point for FA's tactical comms niche.
- Thales Defense & Security: Thales designs tactical radios (e.g., AN/PRC-148 MBITR line — the platform FA's STUB battery adapters and Li-metal battery rights target) plus broader tactical comms. Direct platform-level adjacency to Freedom Atlantic's radio accessory and battery business.
