Core Infrastructure

One network. Every rescue unit.

LoRa-Comms operates a dedicated mesh network along South Africa's coastline and inland terrain — purpose-built to bring Search & Rescue units onto a single connected system, independent of cellular coverage.

Off-grid, always on

Mesh nodes relay messages and position data between units in terrain where cellular and standard radio coverage fails — coastline cliffs, ravines, dense bush, and remote inland zones.

Unified command view

Every unit on the network reports into one system, giving command teams a single, real-time picture instead of fragmented radio channels.

Incident data capture

Drone footage and photos from the field upload automatically to the backbone, tagged by time and location — built for after-action review and scenario reconstruction.

Secure, permissioned access

Access to live and historical incident data is permission-gated — SAR command sees what it needs to, families and press do not see raw operational data.

Coverage

Coastal & inland grid

Coastal

Coastline SAR Corridor

A chain of mesh nodes along the coast connecting maritime and cliff-rescue units, extending comms into zones where marine radio and cell signal drop out.

Inland

Inland Response Grid

Mesh coverage supporting mountain and wilderness rescue teams operating in canyons, forests, and remote trail systems.

From incident to record

Built for after-action review

Every deployment leaves a structured record — position history, photos, and drone footage organised by time and place.
