What Lynq Technologies does
Lynq Technologies operates the Raven platform—an infrastructure-free, long-range, secure mesh networking technology delivered to OEMs through proprietary hardware modules (LNQ3195 in mass production; LNQ3925 announced for early 2026 commercial release at a reduced 22.6 x 17.1 mm footprint) and embedded software. The stack supports point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and mesh topologies over a physical-layer-agnostic radio (sub-GHz 915 MHz and 1.8/1.9 GHz dual-band), with AES 256 encryption, dynamic keys, and cryptographic network formation. RavenTalk targets tactical and industrial headset voice communications (RavenTalk 2.0 delivers a 4x battery life improvement to 48 hours on a 2x AAA pack), RavenConnect targets long-range and super-long-range data for industrial IoT, telemetry, and asset tracking, and RavenView/ION (launched November 2025) add a device, network, and data management layer with on-prem, private cloud, or public cloud deployment.
The business model combines per-unit hardware module sales, software licensing/royalties to OEMs, and emerging subscription or usage-based pricing for the RavenView platform. Lynq sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales and OEM embedding partnerships; named customers include OTTO Engineering (Lynq PRO blue force tracker for tactical teams) and multiple unnamed leading tactical headset brands integrating RavenTalk. Customer segments span defense and military, industrial and construction (hearing protection devices with integrated group comms), industrial IoT/sensor networks (agriculture, oil and gas), and consumer/professional asset tracking. The company was founded around 2014, operates with 11-50 employees across Denver, CO and Manhattan, NY, and has cumulatively raised approximately $8.2 million since 2017 from investors including ff Venture Capital, Sony Innovation Fund, Plus Eight Equity, Techstars, and Chetrit Ventures. As of 2025, RavenTalk is reported to power more than 250,000 devices across five or more new tactical and ruggedized communication device integrations.

Lynq Technologies product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Lynq Technologies develops and licenses the Raven platform, an infrastructure-free, long-range, secure mesh networking technology, to OEM manufacturers. The company delivers its software stack via hardware modules (LNQ3195, LNQ3925) and reference designs, enabling OEMs to embed long-range voice (RavenTalk) and data (RavenConnect) connectivity into tactical headsets, industrial sensors, and tracking devices without requiring cellular or other infrastructure.
Product overview
Lynq Technologies offers the Raven platform—an infrastructure-free, long range, and secure wireless network technology that serves as a flexible embeddable solution for OEMs. The platform consists of the core Raven technology supporting multiple topologies and data payloads, with two main product lines: RavenConnect (for long range and super long range data communications targeting industrial, agriculture, construction, and IoT sensor networks) and RavenTalk (for high quality and super long range voice communications enabling tactical headsets and mission-critical professional communications). The portfolio includes hardware modules (LNQ3195 in mass production, upcoming LNQ3925), software solutions like RavenTalk 2.0 for simultaneous audio and data, and management platforms including RavenView and the ION feature for network provisioning and device management.

Lynq Technologies competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- goTenna: goTenna builds infrastructure-free mesh networking devices for off-grid tactical, public safety, and consumer use cases. Its Pro and Pro X product lines directly compete with Lynq's RavenTalk offering in the same mesh radio category.
- Silvus Technologies: Silvus manufactures tactical mesh radios (StreamCaster) used by defense, law enforcement, and first responders. They compete head-to-head with Lynq in long-range tactical MANET communications for headsets and soldier systems.
- Persistent Systems: Persistent Systems' MPU5 product family provides mobile ad-hoc mesh networking for military and industrial customers. The company is a direct competitor in tactical mesh radios and embedded MANET modules.
- Rajant Corporation: Rajant's Kinetic Mesh network uses a proprietary peer-to-peer protocol for industrial IoT, mining, military, and rail. They compete with Lynq's RavenConnect in long-range infrastructure-free industrial connectivity.
- Doodle Labs: Doodle Labs builds long-range mesh radio modules for drones, robotics, and tactical applications. They are a direct OEM-embedded competitor to Lynq's LNQ module family.
Broad incumbents
- Iridium Communications: Iridium provides satellite-based global communications for defense, maritime, and remote industrial users. It is a broader incumbent in the 'connectivity where infrastructure isn't available' category where Lynq also competes.
- L3Harris (Tactical Communications): L3Harris is a large incumbent in tactical and public-safety radio systems (e.g., Falcon, AN/PRC-163). It competes with Lynq's RavenTalk in mission-critical voice communications for defense and public safety.
- Thales (Tactical & Mission-Critical Communications): Thales offers tactical radios and mission-critical communications infrastructure for defense and security markets. It is a broad incumbent against whom Lynq's Raven-powered OEM partners compete in soldier communications.
Emerging players
- Dejero: Dejero provides hybrid IP networks combining cellular, satellite, and mesh for public safety and broadcast. It overlaps with Lynq's resilient-connectivity thesis but relies on existing infrastructure rather than infrastructure-free mesh.
Others
- Nordic Semiconductor: Nordic supplies the nRF9151 and nRF5340 silicon inside Lynq's modules and is a core partner. While not a direct competitor, Nordic's broader low-power wireless portfolio competes for the same IoT/Tactical design slots that Lynq targets.
