What we do

Services

Seven ways to work with us, from a first coverage question to a network we run for you. Most engagements start with a map and end with something mounted on a roof.

Our services

Consultation
Mesh networking consultation: hardware and software development, site planning, coverage mapping for existing repeaters, and educational sessions for your team.
Read more
Network Design & Coverage Planning
RF design for long-range wireless: path and terrain analysis, link budgets, gateway and repeater siting, and a written coverage model you keep whoever builds the network.
Read more
Installation and Deployment
MeshCore repeater installation for commercial and residential property: mounting, solar or mains and PoE power, weatherproofing, commissioning and documentation.
Read more
LoRaWAN Networks
Private and public LoRaWAN: gateway deployment, network server selection and hosting, device onboarding and integration with the systems you already run.
Read more
Hardware & Firmware Engineering
Custom hardware and embedded firmware for long-range wireless: sensor nodes, gateways, enclosures, power budgets, and the firmware that runs on them.
Read more
Managed Networks
Ongoing operation of long-range wireless networks: monitoring, alerting, firmware campaigns, battery lifecycle and scheduled site maintenance.
Read more
Maple Wireless Cloud
A platform-as-a-service for mesh networking protocols: device management, firmware distribution, message routing and administration. MeshCore today, built for what comes next.

Questions we get asked first

Is this a replacement for cellular or internet?

No, and we will say so plainly. Mesh carries short messages and telemetry over long distances at very low power. It does not carry video calls or web browsing. It is the channel that still works when the others do not, and the channel that reaches where they never did.

How far does one hop actually go?

Line of sight, kilometres — we have seen far more with height on both ends. Through bush and buildings, considerably less. That range is exactly why we model coverage before anybody buys hardware: the honest answer depends on your terrain, not on a number in a brochure.

Do I need a radio licence?

No. MeshCore runs in licence-free spectrum, so there is no licence, no carrier contract and no SIM to pay for.

What happens if a node fails?

The mesh routes around it. That is the whole point of the topology — a failed node is a detour rather than an outage, and adding nodes makes the network more resilient rather than more congested.

Can you work with hardware we already own?

Usually. If you have MeshCore-compatible radios already deployed we can survey what you have, map the coverage you are actually getting, and tell you what adding or moving nodes would buy you.

Do you work with LoRaWAN as well as MeshCore?

Both, and point-to-point LoRa besides. They solve different problems — many sensors in a fixed catchment want LoRaWAN, resilience with no infrastructure wants a mesh — and we are equally happy building either, which is what makes the recommendation worth something.

Do we have to use Maple Wireless Cloud?

No. The protocol is open and the network is yours. The Cloud platform makes a fleet easier to manage, but a network we build for you will keep running whether or not you subscribe to anything.

Not sure which of these you need?

Most people are not, at the start. Describe the problem and we will tell you which of them — or none of them — actually fits.
