Meet Horizon

Built for when everything fails.

An offline LoRa mesh relay from Klyxen Technology that keeps people connected when the grid, the towers and the internet are gone.

Off the grid

No internet. No cell towers. No problem.

Every relay talks straight to the next over LoRa radio. No infrastructure, no subscriptions, no signal needed.

Self-forming mesh

Every node extends the network.

In field testing, units meshed across 623 m, and the direct alarm reached its target 29 of 30 times (96.7%) in Formal Probe Test 2.

Still evolving

Tested in the field. Improving every build.

See the real test data, the roadmap and what is coming next.

Why Horizon

Communication shouldn't fail when infrastructure does

Mission

To provide reliable, offline communication for disaster prone communities using affordable, open source mesh technology that works when everything else fails.

Vision

A world where no disaster victim is unreachable, where every baranggay has its own communication network, and responders can coordinate without infrastructure.

Goal

Deploy Horizon ecosystems across disaster prone areas in the Philippines, starting with baranggay level integration through DRRMO partnerships.

30 minutes4 hours~1 dayEmergency quick charge
1 hour8 hours~2 daysStandard quick charge
Full charge (4h fast / 5h slow)~12 hours5 daysPartial use = using only when necessary, peak 1h constant per day

Charging Estimates:

  • Fast charger: 3–4 hours to full charge
  • Slow charger (standard cable): 5 hours to full charge

Relay & Alarm Power:

  • Relay and Alarm System currently rely on external power sources (UPS, solar battery chargers, or direct power supply).
  • Onboard battery/solar integration for Relay and Alarm is planned but not yet implemented.

Current Limitation: Prototype battery span was observed at 1–3 hours during Probe Test 1 with only 30 minutes of charging.
