The Kaonic 1S is an advanced dual‑transceiver tactical mesh radio tailored for defense and unmanned systems. Built on a rugged, embedded Linux core (STM32MP1 with Yocto), it delivers frequency‑agile, multi‑band MIMO communications across CE/RED‑compliant 868 MHz and FCC p.15 902–928 MHz, with dual transceivers and u.FL antenna ports.
Designed for resilient, off‑grid deployments, the Kaonic 1S runs the Reticulum mesh protocol for up to 128 hops, providing full end‑to‑end encryption and post‑quantum‑ready security through secure boot, hardware crypto acceleration, signed OTA updates, and future‑proof frequency‑hopping HopSync. Its passive cooling, USB‑C PD smart charging, and low‑power draw (~1.3 W RX, ~11.3 W TX) ensure endurance in harsh environments.
The Kaonic Rugged Enclosure has been engineered specifically to provide ultra-reliable protection for Beechat’s Kaonic radio modules, featuring robust weatherproofing and IP-rated dust and moisture ingress prevention. The highly durable construction incorporates a honeycomb pattern to withstand shock, vibration and impact, ensuring that the electronics inside remain operational.
The enclosure is lightweight and highly portable, making it easy to transport and deploy in a wide range of harsh outdoor environments and field conditions. It supports dual-antenna configurations, providing easy access to all ports and connectors.
The Elerium NFC tag features built-in cutting-edge asymmetric cryptography with embedded Dilithium private keys to provide the utmost in security for critical military authentication and verification applications, allowing developers to protect against counterfeiting attempts and enabling defense agencies to prevent unauthorized or counterfeit equipment from entering the supply chain.
The compact tags feature an unobtrusive design with either rigid or flexible options, and can be integrated seamlessly into virtually any product. They provide compatibility with the lib-dqx React Native library and Companion App, allowing developers to easily configure the devices to their specific needs.
