SYSTEM / SELF-HEALING MESH SENSE & CONNECT LAYER WIREPAS TDRA TYPE-APPROVED WIRELESS
The network that
heals itself.
One Wirepas massive self-healing mesh under everything we deploy — no SIMs, no gateways. Every device is a sensor and a router, so the network re-forms itself the instant a node drops. It scales to ~1M devices/km², runs 10 years on a battery, and reaches 500 m+ underground and offshore where GPS and Wi-Fi fail. This is the layer that lets the field sense, before the AI agents ever think and act. ZAMTEK develops the AI, supplies & integrates the hardware, and consults & trains. Runs as a private network on unlicensed bands; wireless equipment is TDRA type-approved.
No core to bottleneck
Kill the SIMs and the gateways. Each device relays its neighbours, so capacity grows as you add nodes instead of saturating a central box. One backhaul uplink per site carries it all.
See the numbers →Sense where nothing else reaches
Tags, meters, gas and vibration sensors reporting from 500 m down a shaft, deep in steel, or across a jetty — one private mesh feeding the on-prem AI agents that act on it.
Book a pilot →Numbers a gateway can't touch
Six properties, one radio layer. Every deployment starts as a 2-week proof of concept, then a 4–8-week single-zone pilot with measured ROI, then phased Hardware-as-a-Service. No capex. Data stays on-prem in the UAE.
No SIMs, no gateways
Devices talk directly to each other — no cellular subscriptions, no gateway concentrators to buy, power or maintain. One backhaul uplink per site.
| SIM cards | 0 |
| Gateways | 0 |
| Uplink | 1 per site |
Up to ~1M devices/km²
Built for massive-scale industrial density. Capacity grows as you add devices, because each one also routes — no central bottleneck to saturate.
| Density | ~1,000,000/km² |
| Per network | 10,000s |
| Topology | self-forming |
A decade on one battery
Sub-milliwatt radio and shared relaying mean devices run for years, not days. The network is a fit-and-forget asset, not a maintenance burden.
| Battery life | up to 10 yr |
| Draw | sub-mW |
| Upkeep | near-zero |
Works where GPS fails
Many short device-to-device hops push coverage 500 m and more underground, offshore and through dense steel — no site Wi-Fi, no cellular required.
| Underground | 500 m+ |
| GPS needed | no |
| Wi-Fi needed | no |
Private, unlicensed, approved
Runs as a private network on unlicensed radio bands — you own it, with no carrier in the loop. Wireless equipment is TDRA type-approved for the UAE.
| Network | private |
| Band | unlicensed |
| Approval | TDRA type-approved |
Every device a router
Each node both senses and relays. Lose one and traffic reroutes automatically — no single point of failure, no manual reconfiguration, coverage degrades gracefully.
| Function | sense + relay |
| Healing | automatic |
| Failure point | none |
The sense layer of one stack
The mesh is the first move. It carries what the field reports; on-prem AI agents reason over that stream; automation acts on it. Swap any device — the method holds.
Battery devices on a Wirepas mesh — no SIMs, no gateways, no site Wi-Fi. Every device senses and routes, so the network scales to ~1M/km² and heals itself when a node drops. This page is that layer.
One uplink per site lifts the whole mesh to your servers. Where sites are remote, carrier-grade microwave/RF rings are engineered and delivered via TDRA-licensed partners — 99.99% uptime where fiber can't go.
Velavu gives one pane of glass; on-prem Python agents do the rest — position, geofence, man-down, dwell-time and anomaly detection over the mesh stream. Your data never leaves your network.
Agents fire geofence and man-down alerts, run sub-60-second digital muster, raise CMMS work orders and push notifications to WhatsApp and your CRM — actions, not just dots on a map.

Straight answers
What makes the network self-healing?
Every device is both a sensor and a router. Each relays its neighbours' traffic, so when a node is switched off, moved, shielded by steel or lost in an incident, the mesh instantly reroutes through other devices. No single point of failure, no manual reconfiguration — the network re-forms itself.
Do I need SIM cards or gateways?
No. The mesh needs no SIMs and no cellular gateways. Devices talk directly to each other over unlicensed radio, so a single backhaul uplink per site carries the whole network — removing per-device connectivity cost and gateway bottlenecks.
How many devices can one mesh carry?
Up to roughly one million devices per km², tens of thousands on one network. Because every device also routes, capacity grows as you add devices rather than saturating a central gateway. You scale by placing more nodes.
Will it work underground or where GPS fails?
Yes. It works 500 m+ underground, offshore and inside dense steel — where GPS, cellular and Wi-Fi drop out. Coverage is built from many short device-to-device hops, so signal reaches deep into tunnels, plants and enclosed process areas.
Is the wireless legal to run in the UAE?
Yes. It runs as a private network on unlicensed radio bands, and the wireless equipment is TDRA type-approved. You own the network — no carrier subscription, and no operational data leaving your site to a third party.
Battery life, and cost up front for a pilot?
Devices run up to 10 years on a single battery. Commercially it's a 2-week proof of concept, then a 4–8-week single-zone pilot with measured ROI, then phased Hardware-as-a-Service. No capex. Data stays on-prem in the UAE.
Stand one up in hours.
Pick the zone GPS can't see — a shaft, a plant floor, a jetty, a tank farm. We place the nodes, the mesh forms itself, and your assets and people land on one live map. Two weeks to proof, one quarter to measured ROI.
