SkyNet IoT MeshCore

Autonomous (emergency) communication without internet

 

SkyNet IoT is expanding its services with MeshCore, a fully decentralized and autonomous short-text messaging communication network for government and society.

 

MeshCore enables communication without internet, mobile networks, or central infrastructure. Especially in situations where existing networks fail or become unreliable, MeshCore remains available as a robust supplementary (emergency) communication layer.

With SkyNet MeshCore we offer a reliable and secure (emergency) communication network, especially when conventional systems fail.

What is MeshCore?

MeshCore is an off-grid and off-line messaging platform based on open-source technology and LoRa radio hardware. Devices communicate directly with each other, forming a mesh network where messages are automatically relayed through multiple nodes with end-to-end encryption.

 

The network:

 

  • functions completely without internet, cloud or central servers

  • has no single point of failure

  • energy-efficient and suitable for long-term autonomous use

 

The more nodes participate, the stronger and more reliable the network becomes.

Why MeshCore with SkyNet IoT

The added value of MeshCore lies in the combination with the existing infrastructure, locations and expertise of SkyNet IoT.

 

SkyNet IoT manages a national and international network with strategic IoT deployment points, on masts and in buildings. These locations provide a readily deployable platform for a fast, scalable, and manageable MeshCore rollout with an SLA.

 

MeshCore is therefore a structurally valuable addition to existing digital infrastructures.

When is MeshCore relevant?

MeshCore is designed for situations where reliable emergency communications are essential, including:

 

* power outage

* internet outages

* failure or overload of mobile networks

* large-scale disasters or crisis situations

 

The SkyNet IoT MeshCore stations are autonomously powered by solar energy in combination with battery storage and remain operational for long periods of time without external supplies.

For who?

MeshCore is public and non-commercial in nature and is intended for broad social use by:

 

* government services

* safety and emergency services

* social organizations

* companies

* citizens

 

The network can be deployed locally, regionally or supra-regionally and grows with the number of connected locations and nodes.

Safe and robust

Security is an integral part of MeshCore:

 

* end-to-end encryption of messages

* participation only by authorized nodes

* no central vulnerable infrastructure

 

The decentralised design ensures that communication remains possible, even in the event of partial failure of parts of the network.

Realization and financing

MeshCore is designed as a publicly accessible, non-commercial communications service. Its implementation and further rollout can take place through shared responsibility and public cooperation.

 

Financing can take place via:

 

* Public funds

* National and European subsidies and funds

* Contributions from participating government and social organizations

* Collective or programmatic initiatives

 

By using energy-efficient radio technology and autonomous arrays with solar energy and battery storage, investment and operating costs per location remain limited. This allows for phased scaling up, tailored to policy objectives, available resources, and regional needs, with or without an SLA from SkyLab and SkyNet IoT.

 

SkyNet IoT can support:


* delivery, installation, and service

* setting up and executing pilots

* exploring financing and subsidy schemes

* a controlled and transparent rollout
* making installation points available
* maintenance and support
* collaboration with organizations

 

 

This creates a sustainable, scalable and future-proof communications facility, complementary to existing infrastructures and aimed at social resilience.

Participate and connect

SkyNet IoT facilitates the addition of MeshCore infrastructure to its existing locations, installation and commissioning, as well as management and support.

 

We invite governments and institutions to:

 

* to be connected to the MeshCore network

* make locations available

* explore pilots of phased scaling up

 

Together we are building a robust, autonomous communications layer for now and the future.**
