Open HaLow Mesh Network System

+

+ A standards-based, infrastructure-independent wireless backbone for secure transmission of messages + and moving imagery in contested or infrastructure-denied environments. Designed to interconnect + heterogeneous devices without vendor lock-in while maintaining cryptographic agility against + emerging post-quantum threats. +

+
+
+ +
+
+

System Description

+ +

+ The Open HaLow Mesh Network System is a modular, sub-GHz wireless networking platform built on + IEEE 802.11ah (Wi-Fi HaLow) and open IP networking standards. It provides long-range, low-power, + and obstacle-tolerant connectivity suitable for realistic field deployments where fixed + infrastructure is unavailable, degraded, or denied. +

+ +

+ Unlike proprietary tactical radios or vertically integrated ecosystems, the system is designed + explicitly as an open network backbone. Any compliant device—sensors, cameras, + edge compute nodes, command terminals, or legacy IP equipment—can be integrated using standard + Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or IP interfaces without dependence on a single vendor or waveform provider. +

+ +
+
+

Radio Layer

+
    +
  • IEEE 802.11ah (sub-1 GHz) for long-range backhaul
    • +
  • Optional 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for local device aggregation
    • +
  • Adaptive modulation and coding per link conditions
    • +
+
+ +
+

Network Layer

+
    +
  • IP-native architecture (IPv4 / IPv6)
    • +
  • Self-forming, self-healing mesh topology
    • +
  • Open routing protocols (802.11s, BATMAN-adv, or equivalent)
    • +
+
+ +
+

Application Layer

+
    +
  • Secure messaging and telemetry
    • +
  • Moving imagery (video streams or buffered clips)
    • +
  • Store-and-forward operation under constrained links
    • +
+
+
+
+
+ +
+
+

Operational Philosophy

+ +

+ The system is engineered for realistic deployment conditions, not laboratory + throughput benchmarks. Range, robustness, and interoperability are prioritized over peak data rates. + Moving imagery is supported through adaptive encoding, prioritization, and bandwidth-aware routing. +

+ +
    +
  • No centralized controller required; operation continues under partial network loss.
    • +
  • Nodes may be fixed, vehicle-mounted, or carried by personnel.
    • +
  • Network scales horizontally by adding nodes, not by replacing infrastructure.
    • +
+ +

Off-grid

+

Infrastructure-independent

+

Interoperable

+
+
+ +
+
+

Security Architecture

+ +

+ Security is implemented as a layered, standards-based architecture rather than proprietary + obscurity. The system supports modern encryption today while maintaining + post-quantum cryptographic agility for future transition. +

+ +

Current-Generation Security

+
    +
  • WPA3-based link encryption and mutual authentication
    • +
  • Certificate-based device identity and access control
    • +
  • Network segmentation and policy-based routing
    • +
+ +

Post-Quantum Readiness

+
    +
  • Cryptographic agility allowing replacement of key exchange algorithms
    • +
  • Support for hybrid classical + post-quantum key establishment
    • +
  • Separation of radio transport from cryptographic services to avoid hardware lock-in
    • +
+ +

+ The system does not claim immunity to electromagnetic detection or jamming. Emission control, + power management, and spectrum discipline remain operational responsibilities. +

+
+
+ +
+
+

Manufacturing and Supply Considerations

+ +

+ The platform is built from industrial-grade, commercially available components using standard + electronics manufacturing processes. This enables predictable scaling, controlled configuration + management, and long-term sustainment without reliance on proprietary silicon or closed firmware. +

+ +
    +
  • Modular hardware design with defined RF, compute, and power subsystems
    • +
  • Open firmware stack enabling audited builds and controlled updates
    • +
  • Configurable enclosures for fixed, vehicular, or portable roles
    • +
  • Export-compliant components with regional frequency variants
    • +
+
+
+ +
+
+

Limitations and Constraints

+ +
    +
  • Throughput decreases with distance and hop count; not intended for broadband video at kilometer ranges.
    • +
  • Sub-1 GHz operation is subject to regional regulatory limits on power and duty cycle.
    • +
  • Not a replacement for wideband SDR or SATCOM systems in high-tempo maneuver warfare.
    • +
  • Electronic warfare resilience depends on deployment discipline and network planning.
