When infrastructure fails,the network keeps moving.

FarOp Industries builds Kairos — an encrypted mesh platform that forms without towers, routes without GNSS, and repairs itself when links fail.

THE PLATFORM

One network.Every available link.

Kairos separates the network from the radio. The same encrypted routing core can move traffic across low-power long-range links, Wi-Fi, IP, or a software-defined radio — and bridge between them without changing the application above.

A

Self-forming. Self-repairing.

Nodes discover one another, relay for the network, and automatically repair routes as units move or links fail. There is no central node, so there is no single point of failure.

Core capabilityMulti-hop routing
B

Identity, not coordinates.

Kairos binds routing to cryptographic identity rather than GPS position. The core never needs GNSS to form or operate.

Core capabilityGNSS-independent
C

Bearer-agnostic by design.

LoRa-class radio, IP, Wi-Fi, and SDR can act as interchangeable bearers below a single mesh core.

Multi-bearerRadio + IP paths
D

Encrypted, fail-closed.

Per-link keys, authenticated rekeying, and strict replay protection keep traffic confidential and reject incomplete key state.

Secure by designIndependent review planned
ARCHITECTURE

The radio becomesa replaceable module.

Most field communications systems lock the network to one physical radio. Kairos puts routing, identity, encryption, and recovery above a minimal bearer interface, so you can use the best link available now and change it later.

FarOp is developing its own software-defined radio hardware for Kairos, bringing the same network core onto a radio platform whose behavior can evolve in software.

APPLICATIONS

Built for the edgeof coverage.

Every application shares the same core requirement: communications that remain useful when fixed infrastructure is absent, degraded, or overloaded.

EUROPEAN OWNERSHIP

Built forEuropean ownership.

Kairos is built around an auditable software core, European-held intellectual property, and a European-sourced hardware path. The aim is not a black box — it's a communications platform you can inspect, integrate, and evolve.

The Kairos node — FarOp’s own software-defined radio hardware — is in development for airborne platforms and rugged field deployment.
