We've seen some comments going around (*ahem* Memetic Warfare...) complaining about the fact we ported Reticulum Networking Stack (RNS) to Rust.


We chose to port it to Rust instead of C++ due to long term stability and preventing memory safety issues. Only RNS is written in Rust. Our Yocto OS tools, and cross platform drivers are still written in C++.

Rewriting the entire protocol to Rust has been extremely challenging and we will soon be publishing it to GitHub to give back to the RNS community. It also will now be much easier for other developers to port RNS to C++, if you prefer to go that route, since we've brought all functions to the embedded level.

Our port enables developers to port Reticulum to C++. We're also planning on porting RNS to microcontrollers, totally removing the need for an OS. This would allow much smaller and low-power Kaonic versions.

Kaonic will enable unstoppable, uncensorable mesh networks everywhere. Our production is now ramping up and nothing can stop it

Our previous product Beechat Clip had only one radio to which users needed to connect via USB. Each radio module was region specific, so when travelling to a region with other frequency bands, the module would not work in that region. It had a maximum of 32 network hops.

Over the last year, we've developed Kaonic:
- 2x independent radios
- Live audio call capability (instead of walkie-talkie "push-to-talk")
- Frequency switchable for different regions (868/900 MHz)
- Longer range at highest data rate option (over 200%)
- More than 200% maximum data rate from previous model (250 vs 600 kbps)
- Capability to connect not only via USB, but also via WiFi tethering, and Bluetooth pairing
- Up to 128 network hops for globally scalable networks
- Open source firmware
- End-to-end encrypted

Could you please explain (for a regular end user) exactly how to communicate with other Kaonic radios, send text, audio files, etc.

Has any end-user software been written yet? In other words, as a non-dev, how would I use it?

1. Install the Kaonic app: the download link will be on the QR code within the package
2. Create an account (no information is sent to any server) you can do this purely offline.
3. Log in
4. You can start scanning the network around you and find surrounding nodes.
5. Click on a user to begin chatting, sending files or even start an audio call

for which operating systems is your software available ?

Kaonic is compatible with Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and iOS.
However iOS doesn't provide open access to USB ports, so only WiFi/BT tethering will work with it.

Kaonic 1S is our flagship Single Board Computer with dual integrated long range radios.

It enables capabilities that were only available to the military sector before, such as encrypted live audio calls over mesh networks.

Meshing is based on the revolutionary Reticulum mesh network, with our own backwards compatible Rust port for much higher performance.

Our firmware and software is open source, allowing users to modify the system to their own needs and providing full transparency of the system’s capabilities.

Kaonic is the future of decentralised off grid communication.

The implementation of this tech in Volla devices is gonna be a huge game-changer!

What if smartphones had a built-in Kaonic mesh chip? We're exploring that exact possibility with Volla (https://volla.online/)
The end of telcos? What do you think?

Introducing the new, rugged, protective case design for Kaonic 1S modules!

This new protective case will allow you to carry the Kaonic 1S without any exposed electronics.

Simply power the Kaonic 1S via either of the two on-board USB-C ports (with a power bank, or mains socket) to boot it up.

The dedicated power button allows switching to different power modes.

The LEDs act as status indicators for the Kaonic 1S.

Stay tuned for our tests on the cases 😎
