What Neocortec does

NeoCortec A/S is a Denmark-based (Skovlunde, near Copenhagen) privately held wireless technology company founded in 2007 that develops and licenses NeoMesh, a proprietary, from-scratch ultra-low power wireless mesh networking protocol designed to overcome the scalability, power, and routing limitations of Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, and Thread. NeoMesh is a fully decentralized, time-synchronized mesh supporting up to 65,000 nodes per network with average power consumption below 10 µA, enabling multi-year battery life on every node, and offers AES128 encryption, frequency hopping, self-healing routing, and availability on both Sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz bands including a LoRa modulation variant.

The company monetizes NeoMesh through a multi-stream model: protocol stack licensing for integration into customers' own SoCs and PCBs, direct and distributor-led sales of pre-certified modules (NC2400 2.4 GHz, NC1000-8 868 MHz, NC1000-9 915 MHz), evaluation and development kits, and a growing software portfolio that includes the NeoGW gateway with MQTT cloud integration, a web-based Network Management application, and PC tools. Its customer base spans Smart Buildings, Industrial IoT/Industry 4.0, Smart Agriculture, Smart City, Smart Transportation, and Mining, served through direct sales, licensing deals with module makers (e.g., Embit), and distribution partnerships (e.g., Endrich Bauelemente's e-IoT platform). The company is led by CEO Thomas Steen Halkier, operates with a single HQ and small leadership footprint, and has no disclosed funding rounds, revenue, or institutional investors in the public record.

Core offering

Neocortec develops and commercializes the proprietary NeoMesh wireless mesh networking protocol, a decentralized, time-synchronized, ultra-low-power mesh technology designed for battery-powered IoT sensor networks. The company delivers NeoMesh through three channels: (1) protocol stack licensing for direct integration into customers' SoCs and PCBs, (2) pre-certified wireless mesh hardware modules (NC2400 2.4 GHz, NC1000-8 868 MHz, NC1000-9 915 MHz) plus evaluation kits, and (3) supporting software tools including NeoGW gateway software with MQTT cloud integration, a web-based Network Management Tool, and PC Tools for network configuration and monitoring.

Product overview

Neocortec offers NeoMesh, a proprietary ultra-low power wireless mesh networking protocol, as its core product. The NeoMesh portfolio consists of three main delivery models: (1) NeoMesh Protocol Stack - available as licensing for SoC integration or with LoRa modulation support; (2) NeoCortec Hardware - pre-certified modules including NC2400 (2.4 GHz global), NC1000-8 (868 MHz EU), and NC1000-9 (915 MHz US) plus evaluation kits; and (3) NeoCortec Software - NeoGW gateway software with MQTT integration for cloud connectivity, the Network Management Tool for fleet administration, and PC Tools for network monitoring. NeoMesh supports up to 65K nodes per network, operates 100% on batteries, and features built-in AES128 encryption and dynamic self-healing routing.
