The network goes silent
When earthquakes, floods or fires damage power and fibre lines, base stations go offline. Calls and messages never arrive.

AXION R1 · Resilient Mesh Communication Terminal
When the network fails, communication continues.
AXION R1 is a disaster communication terminal that needs no internet, cellular or satellite infrastructure. Every device is a network node: messages, voice notes, photos and locations hop from device to device until they reach your team.

Why AXION R1
In the first hours of a disaster, communication is needed most. It is also the first thing to fail.
Radio alone is not enough
Conventional radios are limited to voice. Locations, photos and recordings cannot be shared, and critical information is lost on crowded channels.
Coordination breaks down
Headquarters cannot see the field; teams cannot see each other. Who is where, who has been reached? Information stays scattered and time is lost.
How it works
Every device is a node. Every node is a bridge.
AXION R1 units form a network among themselves. No central infrastructure is needed: the network is the devices in the field.
01
Switch on and join
As soon as it is powered on, the device finds nearby AXION R1 units and joins the network. No setup, no operator.
02
Messages hop forward
To reach a team beyond direct range, a message is relayed through the devices in between.
03
The network heals itself
If a device switches off or moves, the network finds a new path. Communication is not interrupted.
AXION R1
Everything the field needs, in a single device.
More than text
Beyond messaging: voice notes, photos, locations and files. Teams do more than talk; they show each other the field.

Range depends on terrain, building density, weather and antenna height. The stated figure is from an open-terrain, line-of-sight test.
RED OS
An operating system written for disasters.
AXION R1 runs RED OS, our own operating system. It is designed to be used quickly and reliably under stress: large touch targets, high contrast, simple flows.

Who it is for
For everyone who serves in a disaster.
Disaster management agencies
Uninterrupted, infrastructure-independent information flow between the field and headquarters during disaster coordination.
- Live situation reports from field teams
- A backup communication line independent of the network
- Communication between assembly areas
Municipalities
A disaster-time communication network between neighbourhoods, assembly areas and municipal teams.
- Nodes that can be placed at assembly areas
- Coordination with search and rescue and logistics teams
- Use in disaster drills
Search and rescue teams
Message, location and photo sharing between teams at the rubble site; everyone knows who is where, at all times.
Companies
Team communication at sites with weak or no network coverage, such as energy, mining, construction and logistics.
Individual users
Off-grid communication for mountaineering, remote rural life or a disaster preparedness kit.
Pilot program
Let's plan AXION R1 for your organisation together.
AXION R1 is in development. We work with organisations on real field scenarios and take the first devices into the field together with pilot program participants.
- Assessment tailored to your organisationWe review your needs, field conditions and team structure together.
- Field test in your own regionWe measure range and usability with you, under real conditions.
- Training and direct supportHands-on training for your teams and direct access to the engineering team.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions
When will AXION R1 be available?
AXION R1 is currently in development. We are taking the first devices into the field together with organisations in the pilot program. For timelines and pricing, simply fill in the quote form.
How does it communicate without internet or a network?
Every AXION R1 is a transmitter, a receiver and a relay. Messages that cannot reach their recipient directly hop through the devices in between. This structure is called a mesh network and it needs no central infrastructure.
What is the range?
In our field tests we measured 25 km point-to-point with the built-in antenna (open terrain, line of sight). Range depends on terrain, building density and antenna height. In a mesh network every device that joins extends coverage; in the pilot program we measure range in your own region together.
Does it replace our existing radio systems?
AXION R1 is designed to work alongside existing systems and complements them: beyond voice, it adds messages, photos, locations and recordings. We assess your integration needs together during the pilot discussion.
How is the device updated?
When AXION R1 connects to a Wi-Fi network it downloads new software automatically. Updates are digitally signed; the device installs only software published by Redbrella.
