DTIS MeshCore
Autonomous emergency communication
SkyLab and SkyNet IoT are expanding their services with DTIS MeshCore, a fully decentralized and autonomous emergency communication network for short text messages, intended for government and society.
DTIS is a consortium in formation in which SkyLab and SkyNet IoT act as initiators and executing parties. The network is based on MeshCore technology and is designed as an additional, independent communication layer for situations in which conventional networks fall short.
MeshCore enables communication without the internet, without mobile networks and without central infrastructure. Especially when existing networks fail or become unreliable, DTIS MeshCore remains available as a robust and resilient communication facility.
At a time of increasing geopolitical tensions and structural peak loads on energy and digital infrastructures, an independent emergency communication capability is essential for societal resilience.
What is DTIS MeshCore?
DTIS stands for Distributed Text Infrastructure System. It is an off grid and offline messaging platform based on Western open source software and LoRa radio technology.
​
Communication takes place via autonomous repeaters that together form a mesh network. Devices do not communicate through end user nodes but through these fixed stations, which fundamentally distinguishes DTIS MeshCore from other mesh solutions.
​
LoRa radio operates in license free frequency bands, enabling long range wireless communication without the need for permits. This is achieved with low energy consumption, deep indoor coverage and minimal infrastructure requirements.
​
Messages are automatically forwarded across multiple stations using end to end encryption with AES 128. As a result, communication over long distances remains possible even in the event of partial network outages.
Characteristics of the DTIS MeshCore network
DTIS MeshCore operates entirely without internet connectivity, cloud services or central servers. It has no single point of failure and is highly energy efficient, making it suitable for long term autonomous operation. All message exchange is fully encrypted end to end using AES 128. The network is inherently scalable, meaning that the more stations are added, the stronger and more reliable the network becomes.
Why DTIS MeshCore with SkyLab and SkyNet IoT
DTIS is a collaborative partnership involving independent companies, government bodies, knowledge institutions and societal organizations. Within the consortium, tasks, responsibilities, costs and risks are jointly coordinated and formally agreed upon.
The added value of DTIS MeshCore lies in its combination with the many years of experience of SkyLab and SkyNet IoT in designing, deploying and managing large scale and mission critical Internet of Things infrastructures.
SkyLab and SkyNet IoT work for and with governments, societal organizations, companies and knowledge institutions. They have extensive experience with secure installations at height and in complex telecommunications environments. They manage IoT infrastructures under service level agreements, including professional maintenance and support, and they have access to thousands of strategic deployment locations at national, international and offshore levels.
This existing infrastructure provides a directly deployable foundation that enables DTIS MeshCore to be rolled out quickly, cost effectively, scalably and in a controlled manner. As such, DTIS MeshCore forms a structural and valuable addition to existing digital networks.
When is DTIS MeshCore relevant?
DTIS MeshCore is designed for situations in which reliable emergency communication is critical. This includes power outages, internet disruptions, failure or congestion of mobile networks, disruption of P2000 and or C2000 systems, large scale incidents or crisis situations, and scenarios where independent and trustworthy communication is essential.
DTIS MeshCore stations are autonomously powered by solar energy combined with battery storage and remain operational without external utilities. The network is therefore completely independent of wired infrastructure.
For who?
DTIS MeshCore has a public and non commercial character and is intended for broad societal use by government services, security and emergency services, societal organizations, companies and citizens.
The network can be deployed locally, regionally or supra regionally and grows organically with the number of connected locations and stations.
Secure and resilient
Security is an integral part of DTIS MeshCore. All messages are protected with end to end encryption. Participation is limited to authorized nodes only, and there is no central vulnerable infrastructure.
Thanks to its decentralized architecture, communication remains possible even in the event of partial network failure.
Deployment and funding
​
DTIS MeshCore is established as a publicly accessible, non commercial communication facility. Deployment and rollout take place through public cooperation and shared responsibility.
Potential funding sources include public funding, national and European subsidies and funds, contributions from participating governmental and societal organizations, and collective or programmatic initiatives.
By using energy efficient technology and autonomous deployments, both investment and operational costs per location remain limited. This enables phased scaling aligned with policy objectives, available budgets and regional needs, potentially supported by a service level agreement from SkyLab and SkyNet IoT.
SkyLab and SkyNet IoT provide support in the delivery, installation and servicing of the infrastructure, pilot projects and phased rollouts, exploration of funding and subsidy opportunities, management, maintenance and support, provision of deployment locations and cooperation with all involved stakeholders.
In this way, a sustainable, scalable and future proof communication facility is created, focused on strengthening societal resilience.
Participation and connection
SkyLab and SkyNet IoT facilitate hardware, configurations, installations at strategic locations, commissioning and management of the DTIS MeshCore infrastructure.
Governments and institutions are invited to connect to the DTIS MeshCore network, make locations available and explore pilot projects or phased scaling.
Together, we are building a robust and autonomous communication layer for today and for the future.
