We recently visited our manufacturing facility in Poland to follow the production of our flagship secure communications system, the Kaonic 1S. This visit provided the opportunity to observe the full production chain for our mesh radios, from controlled assembly to electrical testing, verification, and final quality checks. The focus throughout was not only on where the system is built, but on how it is built. Defence and security hardware requires robust processes, consistent execution, and a mature quality assurance framework that ensures every unit operates reliably in real-world conditions.
For systems such as tactical mesh radios, resilient communications platforms, and mission-critical networking devices, engineering alone is not enough. Production quality, repeatability, and supply-chain control directly influence field performance. Every step, including PCB assembly, component validation, optical and X-ray inspection, firmware loading, functional RF testing, and environmental preparation, contributes to ensuring that Kaonic 1S performs as specified across demanding operational environments.
Manufacturing in Europe with trusted partners is a strategic decision. Working with experienced production teams in Poland allows us to maintain supply-chain resilience, transparency, and traceability across all components used in the Kaonic platform. As secure communications requirements continue to evolve, the ability to scale production with confidence and maintain consistent manufacturing standards is just as important as the technical capabilities of the radio itself.
Seeing Kaonic 1S transition from design into full production highlights that building advanced mesh networking systems is not only an engineering challenge, but equally an execution challenge. Reliable radio systems must be built, tested, and validated with the same seriousness as the environments they are intended for. This includes everything from frequency-hopping performance to link stability, encryption support, and ruggedisation for edge deployments.
This work represents continued progress toward delivering systems that are ready for operational deployment, not just demonstration. By combining European manufacturing, rigorous quality assurance, and a clear focus on secure and resilient communications, the Kaonic platform moves steadily toward supporting real missions and real users.
