Beechat Network Systems have entered an exclusive partnership with GoTAK LLC, a Virginia-based leader in advanced situational awareness and tactical communications. Under this agreement, GoTAK becomes the exclusive U.S. distributor and integration partner for the Kaonic 1S, a next-generation mesh radio redefining resilient and decentralised communications.
Redefining Tactical and Off-Grid Connectivity
Kaonic 1S is the world’s first purpose-built SDR mesh radio based entirely on the Reticulum protocol, a cryptographically secure, open-source framework that enables autonomous, peer-to-peer communication without reliance on central infrastructure. Supporting up to 128 network hops, Kaonic 1S maintains secure, persistent connectivity across vast terrains and challenging environments. It is ideal for operator communications, sensor integrations, or sUAS control over MAVLink.
Powered by an STM32MP1 MPU running Yocto Linux, Kaonic 1S combines dual transceivers delivering up to a combined 9600 kbps throughput. The Kaonic 1S features an FPGA module slot which allows modular FPGA add-ons with the Kaonic FPGA 50K based on the AMD Xilinx Spartan-7 platform as the first release, allowing for waveform experimentation. Patent-pending HopSync™ technology provides trustless Frequency Hopping, with no known technology being able to detect the next hop even after packets have been captured and analysed. This combination of openness, modularity and operational security sets a new benchmark in mesh communications.
Expanding U.S. Access to Secure Mesh Technology
Through this partnership, GoTAK will oversee U.S. distribution, integration and support for Kaonic 1S and its modular ecosystem, including the upcoming Vantage AI Module and multiband antenna system. These subsystems extend the platform into AI-assisted edge inference, video encoding and tactical MIMO operations, giving users adaptable, mission-specific network capabilities.
“This partnership marks a major step forward in making secure, open, and interoperable mesh networking technology accessible to U.S. operators. GoTAK’s deep understanding of the TAK ecosystem and extensive field experience make them the ideal partner to deliver and support the Kaonic 1S across defense, public safety, and commercial domains. Together, we are building the foundation for a more connected, resilient, and sovereign tactical communications network,” said Víctor Manuel Vicente Terán, Chief Sales Officer and Co-Founder of Beechat.
Building an Interoperable Tactical Ecosystem
Kaonic 1S integrates with Team Awareness Kit (TAK) environments through the Kaonic ATAK plugin, enabling encrypted messaging, secure mesh data exchange and real-time geolocation. When combined with GoTAK’s TAKOS platform and its interoperability tools spanning ISR, satellite and sensor integration, Kaonic 1S becomes a key node in a rapidly deployable, multi-transport communications architecture.
Kaonic 1S is available exclusively through GoTAK LLC for U.S. procurement. Volume purchasing programmes, OEM integration support and developer kits are open to government, commercial and research clients. For U.S. customers, visit https://getgotak.com/products/kaonic-1s-mesh-radio.
