HydraMeshnet Launches Commercially Available Off-Grid Mesh Network Infrastructure as Global Blackouts Expose Systemic Network Fragility

Zug, Switzerland, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Energy-autonomous radio mesh network enables secure communication and digital transactions independent of public grids — with infrastructure deployment and public token funding now live.

Rising Blackouts Highlight Infrastructure Fragility

Recent large-scale power outages and internet disruptions across Europe, North America, Africa, and the Middle East have highlighted the structural fragility of centralized communication and financial infrastructure. From grid failures to government-imposed network shutdowns, millions of people have experienced sudden loss of connectivity and access to digital services.

In response to these systemic vulnerabilities, HydraMeshnet has introduced a commercially available off-grid radio mesh system designed to maintain secure communication and digital transactions even when conventional power grids, mobile networks, or internet connections fail.

How the Off-Grid Mesh Infrastructure Works

The system operates using commercially available ISM-band radio hardware (subject to local regulations) and supports encrypted multi-hop routing across up to 128 mesh hops. Under line-of-sight conditions, individual nodes can bridge distances up to the horizon (typically 30 kilometers or more), allowing transactions and messages to traverse extended blackout zones and reach functioning internet gateways over distances of several thousand kilometers.

By removing dependency on centralized telecom providers, the architecture enables energy-autonomous operation through solar, wind, and battery-powered deployments. Local communities, private households, and organizations can operate digital communication and transaction networks independently of public infrastructure.

Proof of Concept Demonstrates Off-Grid Digital Transactions

A publicly available proof-of-concept demonstrates encrypted cryptocurrency transactions being transmitted across the autonomous radio mesh network without conventional internet infrastructure.

The demonstration validates that cryptocurrency transactions — including Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, and ERC-20 tokens — can be executed under off-grid conditions using the deployed hardware and software stack.

Deployable Hardware and Immediate Availability

The infrastructure layer consists of deployable hardware components including the entry-level ĦConnector LoRaPay and professional ĦConnector Maxi (pre-order) radio modules, as well as the privacy-focused ĦPhone X23 and ĦPhone Quintus smartphones.

These devices are commercially available and can be acquired through the integrated ĦShop within the ĦWallet application, enabling immediate field deployment (via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection) by individuals, private households, businesses, organizations, and local communities seeking infrastructure resilience.

Additional components include validator-ready ĦNode homeservers (in preparation) and off-grid solar and wind energy kits (in preparation) designed to support year-round independent operation.

Bandwidth Management and Token Integration

To manage bandwidth allocation, support long-term network sustainability and avoid network congestion, transactions transmitted through the mesh infrastructure require a dynamic fee paid in the native ĦMESH utility token.

The token operates on a proof-of-stake Layer-1 blockchain and is designed to economically regulate network traffic as adoption grows. The HydraMeshnet project is currently conducting a public HMESH token presale via the ĦWallet application, providing early participants the opportunity to support infrastructure deployment and participate in the network’s economic layer.

Strategic Partnerships

HydraMeshnet collaborates with established technology partners including Volla Systems, provider of privacy-focused smartphones, and Beechat Network Systems, developer of high-performance radio hardware.

These partnerships support the technical foundation of the commercially deployable off-grid infrastructure stack.

Why It Matters

• Independent infrastructure: Private decentralized peer-to-peer radio mesh operating without dependency on states, banks, telecom providers, or centralized platforms.

• Energy-autonomous deployment: Solar panels, wind turbines, and rechargeable batteries enable continuous self-sufficient operation.

• Scalable architecture: From localized community networks to regional gateway hubs and long-distance mesh bridging.

• Token-regulated bandwidth model: Economic incentives align network usage with infrastructure sustainability.

As natural disasters, geopolitical tensions, and infrastructure instability increase globally, resilient digital infrastructure is emerging as a strategic priority for private households, businesses, communities, and responsible decision makers alike. HydraMeshnet positions itself as an independent infrastructure layer capable of complementing existing networks or operating autonomously when centralized systems fail.
