Solution Building

We are currently working on a LoRa based tracking solution powered by the excellent open source project Meshtastic. 

Content Creation

We have dabbled in some content creation such as photogrammetry, light weight 3D modelling and 3D Printing. Here is an example Tugela River Lodge.

Meshtastic® is a project that enables you to use inexpensive LoRa radios as a long range off-grid communication platform in areas without existing or reliable communications infrastructure. This project is 100% community driven and open source! 

 

 If you are in an environment without mobile signal or internet connection, such as during hiking, camping, emergency rescue, or other outdoor activities, as long as you and your companions each have a T1000-E and are paired with your phones, you can communicate and locate each other using the Meshtastic app.
