LoRa-Comms is built on open mesh-networking protocols and a central backbone that turns field data — position, photos, drone footage — into an organised, secure record.
Long Range radio modulation designed for low-power, long-distance communication. It's the physical radio layer every node in the network transmits on — trading bandwidth for range and battery life.
An open-source mesh-networking protocol built on LoRa. Nodes automatically relay messages for each other, extending range well beyond a single radio's reach without any fixed infrastructure.
A complementary mesh protocol approach used where routing behaviour or network topology calls for it — LoRa-Comms selects the right protocol per deployment.
Field teams upload drone footage and photos directly to the platform from the deployment area — no need to wait until they're back in signal range.
Every piece of data — message, image, or footage — is organised by when and where it was captured, building a structured timeline of a deployment.
Key updates can be pushed automatically to WhatsApp — useful for keeping event organisers, command teams, or families informed without a dedicated app.
Historical, time-stamped data supports after-action review for SAR incidents, or a preserved record of an event or expedition for clients.
Data is reachable over the internet from anywhere, but every account is scoped — SAR command, event clients, dealers, and administrators each see only what their role permits. Full role and permission architecture is detailed as the portal (see Portal) moves out of beta.
Separate permission sets for customers, dealers/installers, SAR command, and admins.
Data in transit between nodes, gateway, and backbone is encrypted.
Access to sensitive incident data is logged for accountability.
