Our Story
Natak Mesh was originally inspired by the Rocket M5 MANET builds done by the team at teamawarenesskit.org. We used those solutions for a while but wanted something simpler to set up and use.
Our journey led us to Meshtastic, but the extremely low throughput pushed us back towards WiFi-based solutions. We worked for most of a year on a HaLow WiFi build, but the currently available low-power radios did not have enough of a range advantage to make up for the low throughput.
This exploration ultimately led to our current approach: a combination of standard WiFi and LoRa to have the best of both worlds—high throughput where possible via WiFi, while still maintaining long-range LoRa connections for situations where WiFi is out of range or blocked.
Our Mission & Values
At Natak Mesh, our mission is to provide affordable networking solutions that enable reliable connectivity without requiring existing infrastructure. We believe in delivering 80% of the capabilities of high-end mesh radios at just 10% of the cost.
Affordability First
Using commercial off-the-shelf components to create cost-effective solutions that make advanced networking accessible to more users. Our affordable approach enables deploying more nodes across your area, creating denser mesh networks with better coverage and reliability than fewer, more expensive units.
Infrastructure Independence
Designing systems that create robust, self-healing networks in any environment without requiring existing infrastructure.
Practical Innovation
Leveraging modern technologies like 3D printing for custom case designs and the Reticulum networking stack for reliable communication. We combine proven approaches with effective solutions to deliver practical, cost-effective results.
Security Without Compromise
Implementing strong encryption and security features without adding unnecessary complexity or cost. Our approach ensures your data remains protected while maintaining the affordability and ease of use of our systems.
