Introduction

Kaonic’s revolutionary cryptographic mesh technology can be leveraged for point-to-point communication in various scenarios, including tactical communications, emergency response, and decentralised networking. If you’re wondering what the range of a Kaonic transmitter would be in your area, this guide will walk you through simulating its coverage using the Radio Mobile Online web app. You’ll learn how to set up a simulation, input accurate data, and visualise the potential coverage.

Radio Mobile Online is a powerful tool for radio propagation analysis, and this post will focus on creating a simulation specific to Kaonic’s capabilities. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to map out potential coverage and range.

Step 1: Register on Radio Mobile Online

Go to the website: Open Radio Mobile Online (https://www.ve2dbe.com/rmonline_s.asp)

Create an account: Click the registration link and enter your details. Registration is free and required to access the features.

Log in: Use your credentials to log in to start exploring the tool.

Step 2: Create a New Site

Click “New Site”: On the main dashboard, locate and click the “New Site” button (highlighted in red in the screenshot).

Enter site details:

Site name: Choose a recognisable name for the location
Latitude/Longitude: Zoom in to your desired location, then click “Place cursor at center” button which will place the marker on the map.

Save your site: Click “Submit” to save your new site.

Step 3: Create a New Coverage

Go to “New Coverage”: From the main menu, select the “New Coverage” button (highlighted in green).
Input simulation parameters (view table below for details)
Submit coverage parameters: Click “Submit” to start the coverage calculation.

“New Coverage” parameters:

	Kaonic 1S 868 MHz (Europe/UK frequencies)	Kaonic 1S 902-928 MHz (USA/Australia)
Antenna height (m)	2 for handheld simulation; 30 to 500 for rooftops or drone repeaters	2 for handheld simulation; 30 to 500 for rooftops or drone repeaters
Antenna Azimuth (°)	0	0
Antenna Tilt (°)	0	0
Antenna gain (dBi)	2.15	2.15
Mobile Antenna Height (m)	2 for handheld simulation; 30 to 500 for rooftops or drone repeaters	2 for handheld simulation; 30 to 500 for rooftops or drone repeaters
Frequency (MHz)	868 MHz	915 MHz
Tx power (Watts)	0.5	1
Tx line loss (dB)	0	0
Rx line loss (dB)	0	0
Rx threshold (μV)	2	2
Rendering	High resolution	High resolution

Step 4: Wait for the Simulation

Processing: The simulation will process terrain and propagation data. This might take a few minutes depending on resolution and area size.
View the progress bar: Ensure the task completes successfully.

Step 5: Analyse the Results

Coverage map: Once complete, the map will display coverage with different signal strength areas (e.g., green for strong, yellow for weak).
Save the simulation by clicking on “Add to my coverages”, you will be redirected to the main menu
Select My Coverages from the main menu, then select your simulation from the drop down
Click on View this coverage to view the simulation as well as the total area and population covered

Verify an Elerium NFC Tag with Elerium App

Ensuring the authenticity of your Elerium tag is effortless using the Elerium App available for both iOS and Android devices. This process leverages a secure challenge-response protocol to verify the public key hash stored in your tag.

Download the Elerium App:
- iOS Download Link
- Android Download Link
Starting the Verification:
- Launch the Elerium App and position your smartphone on the Elerium NFC tag.
- Tap the VERIFY TAG button without moving your phone away from the tag.
Verification Process:
- Patience is key! Ensure your phone remains on the tag throughout the verification cycle.
- Upon completion, a unique code (hash of the public key) will be displayed on your screen, confirming the tag’s authenticity.

Note: Ensure your device’s NFC functionality is enabled and the tag is free from obstructions to ensure optimal communication during verification.

Security Protocols for Verification

The Elerium tag hosts a post-quantum Dilithium private key, with its public key hash serving as the unique code displayed post-verification, affirming the tag’s genuineness through our staunch challenge-response protocol. This secure method ensures that your tag’s information is validated without compromise.

Once verified, the unique code can be copied by tapping on the code or saved as per your requirements.

Troubleshooting Verification Issues

Encountering difficulties during verification? Ensure:

Your smartphone’s NFC is activated.
The Elerium tag is in close proximity and unobstructed (some phone cases may interfere with NFC signals).
The Elerium app has requisite permissions.
Try turning on Airplane mode, as Cellular (3G/4G/5G) may interfere with NFC signals.
