Independent networks
Research
Connectivity that does not depend on one distant service.
Research into private mesh networking, off-grid links, solar-powered nodes and resilient local infrastructure.
HOLK TECH has not deployed a public mesh, has not published a radio protocol and has not measured a field trial. Solar power is a design idea, not a commissioned outdoor node.
Research
A handset or sensor hands a short message to the nearest node.
Research
The first node looks for a next hop. If it is absent, this path is absent.
Research
A second node forwards the message. Radio range has not been measured.
Research
The destination collects the message. This is a model, not a tested deployment.
What this work covers
- Short hops between nodes, so a message can move without a central switchboard.
- Off-grid connectivity where ordinary service is missing or not trusted.
- Solar-powered nodes as a way to keep a small radio running away from mains power.
- A layout in which the loss of one node removes a path, not the whole conversation.
