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?

Early Christmas 🎅
We just received our first batch of Kaonic 1S units

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 😎

What are you planning to build with the Beechat Kaonic?

🐝

5 years of R&D. Live, low-latency (sub-100ms) TDD audio over a cryptographic mesh network. Built on a Rust port of Reticulum, our Kaonic system balances sensitivity, range, and data rate for real-world performance.
This isn’t just another radio module. It’s a fully decentralised, infrastructure-free, and encrypted communications platform. End-to-end cryptography, efficient packet routing, and optimized PHY-layer performance—all packed into a modular form factor.
Designed for tactical operations, emergency response, and autonomous systems. No towers. No satellites. No centralised control. Just pure, resilient, off-grid connectivity.
The future of cryptographic mesh networking is here.
