WHAT ́ S UNDER THE HOOD? Due to its low power usage and small size, HERMES can be installed in both mobile and fixed remote monitoring settings, such as boats or weather stations, to send real-time GPS coordinates, photos and sensor data. REMOTE MONITORING Together with social organizations and remote communities, first in the Amazon rainforest, and then around the world, we have been dreaming about, designing, building and testing HERMES since 2017 to create reliable, secure, long-range, autonomous voice and digital communications. WHY WE BUILT HERMES? Powered by HF radio, HERMES enables voice and data communication over vast distances (hundreds of kilometers) with very low power consumption and without the need for Internet or satellites. It can be installed practically anywhere. LONG-DISTANCE COMMUNICATIONS ALL OPEN SOURCE ! CONTACT US As an option, HERMES uses state of the art encryption and password protection to keep communications safe from prying eyes and ears.HERMES is compatible with HAM radio regulations as all security features are optional and software-configurable. SECURE COMMUNICATIONS Software Defined Radio (SDR) with 25 Watts of output power on 80 M to 10 M bandsSSB digital voice radio with PTT microphoneCompute and interface via Raspberry Pi 4/5 with a 7-inch touch screenPowered with 12VDC. Power consumption in receive: 600 mA, transmit: 9AMeasures 25cm x 15cm x 5cm and weighs about 2Kgs. About the size of a hardcover book. WHAT'S IN THE BOX? Mercury - Rhizomatica’s software-defined digital modem for HF. Also Vara compliant.Full email system and app-based chat that route globally.Public messages and secure, password-protected image, voice, text and file exchange between stations.Intuitive web interface for operation and administrationDual mode for simultaneous voice and data transmission Both our software and the radio hardware platform are completely open source.
