Ditto is excited to announce the acquisition of KeySquare Labs (KSL), creators of Propagate, the groundbreaking software platform that transforms any Android device into a powerful edge network hub. With this acquisition, Ditto significantly expands tactical communications support to include native integration with major tactical radios—from PRC-163 and PRC-167 radios to global P25-based public safety systems.

Simultaneously, we are announcing the expansion and rebranding of Ditto Federal to Ditto Public Sector, now encompassing the entire U.S. Public Sector and global government markets. Eric Hanft, previously with KSL, will lead Ditto Public Sector.

Complete Tactical Network Solution, Now in Software

Traditionally, tactical networking has relied on specialized hardware—devices that are costly, fragile, and slow to deploy. Propagate disrupts this model, instantly converting over three billion commercially available Android devices into sophisticated network routers, gateways, and robotic controllers, without any specialized hardware or firmware.

Native Support for Tactical Radios

The combined Ditto-Propagate solution offers native, seamless integration for tactical radio networks from leading manufacturers including:

• L3Harris
• Trellisware
• Persistent Systems
• Thales
• Silvus
• Domo Tactical
• Bittium
• Doodle Labs
• Microhard
• Motorola

This comprehensive support uniquely positions Ditto to deliver software-defined, rapidly deployable networks that meet the rigorous demands of defense, SOCOM missions, public safety, and commercial sectors.
