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.
Portable T1000E 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.
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 T1000E units per day or per week — built for the Otter Trail, Fish River Canyon, and beyond.
