Connectivity is about to explode. But the hard part is what happens when the network disappears.
Owl is built for remote, off grid, high stakes environments where you still need your systems talking. If that is your world, our Early Access program is open.

Never Blink.
We’ve been deep in building a new generation of machine learning-enabled Ducks.
Low-power LoRa mesh radios that run 24/7, off-grid, in places where connectivity doesn’t exist.
This summer we’re heading back to Costa Rica with Arizona State University + Phoenix Zoo.
Deploying in La Amistad National Park to detect and map the endangered three-wattled bellbird using embedded ML, directly on-device.
What started as sensing is turning into something bigger:
A fully off-grid, machine learning radio network, running in the middle of the rainforest.
More soon.
With no power grids and no cell coverage, how do you run Machine Learning on the edge in remote, and austere environments?
This week, @taraqur and Owen O'Donnell took the stage at @PyTorch Conference Europe spotlighting the work Garth Paine from ASU and OWL is doing to run Machine Learning on the edge in truly austere environments. We'll be putting these methods to the test in Costa Rica, detecting Three-wattled Bellbirds as part of an incredible wildlife conservation project.
This is just the beginning! We'll be sharing a lot more about the project and what we've been building over the coming months.
OWL Early Access is live 🚀
Detection networks. Edge ML. Off-grid tracking.
Built with researchers + academia pushing LoRa + mesh forward.
You get the hardware, DMS, and direct access to us.

Getting data out of remote environments is the real problem. Sensors work, but once you leave reliable connectivity the data never makes it out.
That’s what OWL is built for.
We don’t replace your hardware, we integrate with the sensors and systems you already use and handle the network in between.
No rebuilding your stack, just a reliable path for your data to move.
Connectivity ends where infrastructure fails. We built OWL for the places beyond.
After years of validating our QuackerBoard hardware via balloon missions, our research payload launches later this month on a CubeSat platform with the Cal Poly CubeSat Laboratory. Reaching further to stay connected. More soon.

Deploy sensors across the field.
Track equipment in real time
Monitor operations from anywhere.
OWL turns farmland into a connected network.
The Pulse of the Farm.
Our Ducks talk to each other first, forming a local mesh network instead of relying on the internet at every node.
Data moves across the deployment until it reaches a gateway, where it’s stored locally or sent to the cloud.
Less dependency.
Lower power.
Built-in resilience.
Infrastructure that keeps working when other networks don’t.
The Duck goes where the work goes. 🦆
OWL deploys in seconds so heavy equipment, sensors, and teams stay connected without waiting on infrastructure.
Instant deployment, limitless connectivity.
Never Blink.
Inside the OWL Workshop with the founders. 🔎
The goal: Professional-grade infrastructure that deploys in seconds. No tools. No config. Just a signal that never blinks.
We’ve stabilized the hardware. Now it’s time for the stress tests. Where are you taking the Pulse?
START BUILDING.
Engineers do not get excited easily.
So trust us when we say this is a big one.
SpaceDucks are back!
We’ve flown Ducks to space on weather balloons before.
Thanks to a partnership with California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), this will be our first rocket launch. (Thanks for the ride, guys...)
Same mission, bigger proving ground: take resilient, off-grid connectivity and push it to the edge so it’s stronger everywhere else.
Standby for launch date. Never Blink.
Meet the kit built for the places where Wi Fi fails.
Unboxing now. Field testing next.

The goal is simple: your network should be the calm part of the job 🙂
All-in-one IoT management, real-time health and location, analytics that drive decisions, browser-based firmware, and APIs that plug into your stack.
That’s OWL DMS.
The hard part of IoT isn’t the device.
It’s everything in between.
They fail when something breaks in the field and no one knows why.
What does it take to get your IoT project out of the lab?

These are our Ducks 🦆
Small, rugged devices that auto-form a long-range mesh as you deploy them. They collect sensor data, relay tiny packets, and stream everything to the DMS in real time.

When the network ends, your data usually does too.
Our Satellite Duck creates a communication path with no towers, no Wi-Fi, and no cell coverage. It meshes with other Ducks and uplinks through Ground Controls RockBLOCK when nothing else works.
