MINAR
Adaptive Communication Nodes for the Edge of Connectivity
You're on a remote island after a hurricane destroyed all cell towers. You snap a Minar unit onto the village's old minaret, it automatically detects no available backhaul, and within minutes it's transmitting data via pulsing light visible from 20km away—your phone connects seamlessly, and emergency responders receive your GPS coordinates through what looks like a flickering lantern but is actually a sophisticated optical modem.
Self-Configuring Hub
Attach to any tall structure and watch it become a GSM/LoRaWAN base station in minutes. No manual setup required.
Smart Optical Signaling
When networks fail, switches to visible light pulses for line-of-sight communication up to 20km range.
Dual Mode Operation
Seamlessly transitions between cellular backhaul and optical modem depending on network availability.
