Active research into LoRa (Long Range radio), VHF, and UHF protocols to enable critical message delivery when every public carrier, internet connection, and power grid is unavailable, including direct communication with aviation transponders, maritime vessels, and low-earth orbit satellites.
Every mass notification platform assumes the internet works. Every emergency communications system assumes mobile carriers are operational. Every "resilient" solution has a single dependency: the public communications infrastructure it was built on top of.
CaravelIQ Labs is solving a fundamentally different problem: how do you deliver a critical message when the grid is down, the cell towers are destroyed, and internet connectivity is gone? The answer lies in the radio spectrum, LoRa for long-range ground communications, VHF and UHF for aviation and maritime endpoints.
This is CaravelIQ's most advanced R&D domain. What we build here will integrate directly into the CaravelIQ platform as a last-resort communications layer, automatically activated when primary channels fail.
Sub-GHz radio that transmits over 10–15km with minimal power. A single LoRa gateway can cover an entire city district. Works without internet, without cellular, and with a battery-powered node.
The universal standard for aviation communications. VHF integration enables direct messaging to aircraft, search and rescue operations, and air traffic management during infrastructure outages.
Enables maritime vessel communication, tactical field operations, and direct uplink to LEO satellite constellations, extending reach to any point on earth.
CaravelIQ Labs is working toward a fully integrated carrier-independent messaging layer that operates alongside, and automatically falls back from, the primary CaravelIQ communications stack.
Design and deployment of CaravelIQ-operated LoRaWAN infrastructure as a fallback backbone for critical organisations.
Platform intelligence that detects primary channel failure and automatically routes to LoRa or radio delivery without operator intervention.
VHF/UHF protocol interfaces for direct communication with aircraft, vessels, and mobile units outside cellular coverage.
Research into UHF uplink protocols for low-earth orbit satellite constellations, global reach with zero terrestrial dependency.
Battery-operated endpoint hardware for deployment in locations without reliable power, offshore platforms, remote facilities, field operations.
Direct integration pathway into CaravelIQ's air-gapped perpetual deployment, zero external dependency, fully sovereign.
We are actively seeking research partners from defence, humanitarian response, and critical national infrastructure organisations who have specific last-resort communication requirements. If your organisation operates in environments where public infrastructure cannot be assumed, we want to hear from you.
