What HiveRadar does

HiveRadar Inc. is a Toronto-based, privately held hardware company (founded 2016, 1-10 employees) that designs and sells rugged, portable IT infrastructure for Wi-Fi site surveys and edge computing deployments. The product portfolio centers on three hardware families: the Wireless Site Survey Kit (WSSK v3) — a patented, airline carry-on-compliant 24-lb all-in-one APoS kit for WLAN engineers; the Rapid Deployment Kit (RDK) — a 24-lb dual-5G portable connectivity unit for pop-up and temporary Wi-Fi; and the Portable Edge Data Center (P-EDC) — a rugged 4U rolling-case edge data center available in NUC, HR01-2, and HR01-4 configurations supporting seven HCI platforms (Scale Computing, StorMagic, Proxmox, Nutanix, Azure Stack, SUSE Harvester, NodeWeaver). The technology stack includes a proprietary CoreFrame structural case design, integrated cloud-managed networking with telemetry, and an EcoFlow-powered off-grid power ecosystem (Delta 3 Pro, 400W solar panels, dual-fuel generator, Wave 3 AC) with sub-10ms UPS switchover. The company holds U.S. Patent No. D837,077 and Canadian Patents 177130 (granted) and 177139 (filed).

HiveRadar operates a hybrid product-led and channel-led go-to-market: direct sales via website quote requests, an Engineer Locator lead-referral platform connecting customers with certified survey professionals, a global MSP/VAR partner/reseller program, and a strategic distribution partnership with StorMagic (announced March 2026) that routes the joint P-EDC solution through StorMagic's channel into defense, emergency response, energy, retail, entertainment, and industrial markets. The company also resells the Ekahau Wi-Fi planning suite (AI Pro, Sidekick 2, Connect Subscription) and offers the HiveRadar Project Planner as a free beta companion web app, signaling a future SaaS adjacency.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales (P-EDC, WSSK, RDK, accessories) plus Ekahau software resale; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer logo set spans AT&T, Cisco, Siemens, Seagate, Princess Cruises, NBC, Astra, SITA, Alberta Health Services, City of Toronto, and multiple educational institutions, with the most substantive disclosed case study being PCCW Global's use of the WSSK for APoS pre-deployment surveys. No revenue figures, funding rounds, or institutional investors are disclosed in the available source data, representing a material information gap.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Ekahau: Ekahau is the dominant Wi-Fi planning and survey software vendor (AI Pro, Sidekick 2, Connect). HiveRadar resells the full Ekahau suite alongside its WSSK hardware and competes for the same WLAN engineer budget, making it the most directly comparable peer in the Wi-Fi survey workflow.
• CasterTray: CasterTray is named on HiveRadar's WSSK comparison page as a competitor in the portable Wi-Fi survey kit category. Their APoS carts and survey kits serve the same WLAN engineer persona.
• StorMagic: StorMagic is both a strategic HCI software partner and a comparable edge infrastructure player. The March 2026 partnership combines StorMagic SvHCI with HiveRadar P-EDC, positioning the two as co-sellers in small/edge data center deployments.
• Terrawave (TerraWave Solutions): Terrawave is named on HiveRadar's competitive comparison page as a competing Wireless Site Survey Kit provider. Their survey kits (54–95 lbs, multi-case) are the incumbent heavier alternative that HiveRadar's 24-lb WSSK directly displaces.

Others

• EcoFlow: EcoFlow powers HiveRadar's Off-Grid Solutions ecosystem (Delta 3 Pro, solar panels, generators). While not a direct competitor, EcoFlow is the enabling technology partner for HiveRadar's any-location compute value proposition.

Emerging players

• AccelTex Solutions: AccelTex makes antennas, enclosures, and the Accelerator V2 survey battery. HiveRadar co-markets a WSSK AccelTex Edition, placing AccelTex as a sibling/competitor in the APoS survey kit ecosystem.
• Ventev: Ventev makes Wi-Fi infrastructure accessories including the VenVolt 2 battery and is both a competitor (survey accessories) and a partner (HiveRadar WSSK Ventev Edition built around VenVolt 2). They target the same WLAN engineer persona.
• Scale Computing: Scale Computing's HCI platform is officially supported on HiveRadar's P-EDC. Scale Computing competes with StorMagic in the small/edge HCI market and is an adjacent peer in the ruggedized edge compute category.

Broad incumbents

• Cisco (Meraki): Cisco and Meraki are broad incumbent Wi-Fi vendors and a logo-listed customer of HiveRadar. Their enterprise WLAN portfolio sets the standard that HiveRadar's WSSK helps deploy, survey, and validate.
• Aruba Networks (HPE): Aruba is a broad incumbent enterprise Wi-Fi vendor whose APs are supported by HiveRadar's WSSK. Aruba sells Wi-Fi infrastructure and controller/cloud management at the high end that HiveRadar indirectly touches through service-provider surveyors.
