Full Mesh-Grid Control, Everywhere.

OkraNet

Reliable billing, monitoring and maintenance for your mesh-grids, even in communities with zero mobile coverage.

"Now with OkraNet, we have one Beacon per village connected via Starlink, and every single household stays online. Our revenue collection improved by x% in the first month alone."

Daniel Komolafe, Founder & CEO (First Electric)

TheConnectivityChallenge

When No Signal Means No Revenue
Nearly 180 million people inSub-Saharan Africa lack mobile coverage entirely while millions more struggle with towers that fail when diesel runs out or networks that disappear during rainy season.

Off-grid energy systems need data
For billing, monitoring, and maintenance, a data connection is essential. But the communities that need electrification most are often in connectivity dead zones and are at the whim of disruptions due to weather and fuel supplies.

Lessons from our past
Early mesh-grids used a 2G SIM in every household—hundreds per village, each needing activation, fees, and upkeep. It worked while towers did, but a single tower failure cut off whole communities for weeks, and the costs of each SIM added up quick.

How OkraNet Works

Mesh-grid power travels through a wired mesh.

Mesh-grid data travels through a wireless mesh.

Wireless Mesh Networking

Hubs and Leafs form a Wi-SUN mesh communications network, where each device acts as a signal repeater.

The Beacon

The signal reaches the central router, Beacon, forwarding all mesh traffic from the community to the cloud.

SIMplified

The entire system operates with just one active SIM card OR a VSAT (Satellite) connection at the Beacon.

Meet Beacon

The Okra Beacon is a robust Wi-SUN border router, seamlessly connecting up to
300 Okra Sprout or Leaf units via a reliable Wi-SUN mesh network.

Data Savings

Compared to individual SIM card deployments in every home. Simplifies logistics and reduces recurring operating expenses.

Beyong 4G

Deploy anywhere on Earth with a Satellite uplink. When mobile networks don't exist, the Beacon ensures your mesh-grids stay online, even in the most remote locations.

Wi-SUN Tech

Sub-1Ghz Wi-SUN signal easily penetrates walls and vegetation for rock solid signal, while having enough bandwidth to send household data and over-the-air updates.
