<h1>Open HaLow Mesh Network System</h1>
<p>
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.
</p>
</div>
</header>
<section>
<div class="container">
<h2>System Description</h2>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
Unlike proprietary tactical radios or vertically integrated ecosystems, the system is designed
explicitly as an <strong>open network backbone</strong>. 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.
</p>
<div class="grid">
<div class="card">
<h3>Radio Layer</h3>
<ul>
<li>IEEE 802.11ah (sub-1 GHz) for long-range backhaul</li>
<li>Optional 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for local device aggregation</li>
<li>Adaptive modulation and coding per link conditions</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>Network Layer</h3>
<ul>
<li>IP-native architecture (IPv4 / IPv6)</li>
<li>Self-forming, self-healing mesh topology</li>
<li>Open routing protocols (802.11s, BATMAN-adv, or equivalent)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>Application Layer</h3>
<ul>
<li>Secure messaging and telemetry</li>
<li>Moving imagery (video streams or buffered clips)</li>
<li>Store-and-forward operation under constrained links</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>

<div class="container">
<h2>Operational Philosophy</h2>
<p>
The system is engineered for <strong>realistic deployment conditions</strong>, 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.
</p>
<ul>
<li>No centralized controller required; operation continues under partial network loss.</li>
<li>Nodes may be fixed, vehicle-mounted, or carried by personnel.</li>
<li>Network scales horizontally by adding nodes, not by replacing infrastructure.</li>
</ul>
<p class="badge">Off-grid</p>
<p class="badge">Infrastructure-independent</p>
<p class="badge">Interoperable</p>
</div>

<div class="container">
<h2>Security Architecture</h2>
<p>
Security is implemented as a layered, standards-based architecture rather than proprietary
obscurity. The system supports modern encryption today while maintaining
<strong>post-quantum cryptographic agility</strong> for future transition.
</p>
<h3>Current-Generation Security</h3>
<ul>
<li>WPA3-based link encryption and mutual authentication</li>
<li>Certificate-based device identity and access control</li>
<li>Network segmentation and policy-based routing</li>
</ul>
<h3>Post-Quantum Readiness</h3>
<ul>
<li>Cryptographic agility allowing replacement of key exchange algorithms</li>
<li>Support for hybrid classical + post-quantum key establishment</li>
<li>Separation of radio transport from cryptographic services to avoid hardware lock-in</li>
</ul>
<p>
The system does not claim immunity to electromagnetic detection or jamming. Emission control,
power management, and spectrum discipline remain operational responsibilities.
</p>
</div>
</section>
<section>
<div class="container">
<h2>Manufacturing and Supply Considerations</h2>
<p>
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.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Modular hardware design with defined RF, compute, and power subsystems</li>
<li>Open firmware stack enabling audited builds and controlled updates</li>
<li>Configurable enclosures for fixed, vehicular, or portable roles</li>
<li>Export-compliant components with regional frequency variants</li>
</ul>
</div>
</section>
<section>
<div class="container">
<h2>Limitations and Constraints</h2>
<ul>
<li>Throughput decreases with distance and hop count; not intended for broadband video at kilometer ranges.</li>
<li>Sub-1 GHz operation is subject to regional regulatory limits on power and duty cycle.</li>
<li>Not a replacement for wideband SDR or SATCOM systems in high-tempo maneuver warfare.</li>
<li>Electronic warfare resilience depends on deployment discipline and network planning.</li>
</ul>
