LoRa-Comms builds off-grid mesh communication networks along South Africa's coastline and trails — one system serving Search & Rescue units, and a second, commercial layer for hikers, event organisers, and race operators working beyond cellular signal.
Connecting what matters.
Portable T1000-E units are placed along a trail, coastline, or event site.
Nodes relay messages and location data to each other — no cell towers required.
Photos, drone footage, and telemetry sync to the platform, tagged by time and location.
Command teams, SAR partners, and clients view it securely via portal or WhatsApp.
A short look at the T1000-E mesh node and the network it powers — built to work where nothing else does.
The same mesh infrastructure that keeps Search & Rescue units connected in dead zones is available commercially — for the people who go where they go.
A dedicated mesh network along the coastline and inland, purpose-built to bring every SAR unit onto one connected system — even where cellular and radio coverage fails.
Explore SAR Infrastructure →The same network, made available to private events, hiking tours, and sporting events in areas without communication. Rent T1000-E units per day or per week — built for the Otter Trail, Fish River Canyon, and beyond.
View Packages →Every deployment starts the same way — describe your route, drop pins for your stops, and get an instant node estimate with a package recommendation. It's the fastest way to go from "we need comms" to a booked setup.
Open the Planner →A compact, portable LoRa mesh unit designed for trail and off-grid deployment — the building block of every network we run, from a single-day event to a multi-week SAR coastal grid.
