RNode is a free and open source "self-replicating" long-range radio for digital communications. Every device made contains all the blueprints, software and info needed to make more, along with basic software for setting up self-configuring, encrypted mesh networks for basic human communications.

  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Reticulum

    The cryptography-based networking stack for building unstoppable networks with LoRa, Packet Radio, WiFi and everything in between.

    You could think of it as a really long range WiFi card for your phone, computer or other devices. It's much slower, but has range in the kilometers instead of 50 meters. It does not use the typical WiFi+IP+TCP stack that most things use these days (which makes them fail as soon as centralised infrastructure fails), but a networking protocol called Reticulum, which was designed to work even when everything else fails.

  • RNode_Firmware

    Firmware for the RNode radio interface

    Here is an example image of a completed device.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
