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.
