Wireless Mesh Networking

Our proprietary NeoMesh protocol enables low-power, scalable, and infrastructure-free communication between thousands of devices.
All nodes can run on batteries — no mains-powered routers or network coordinators are needed. The protocol operates at both sub-GHz and 2.4 GHz, and supports multiple physical layers including FSK and LoRa modulation. NeoMesh is available in two formats: as a license, for integration on a range of microcontrollers, as compact hardware modules, ready to be embedded directly into your product.

Rethinking Wireless
Sensor Networks

NeoCortec was founded in 2007, with a mission to reinvent wireless sensor networks from the ground up. While most existing solutions were based on traditional IP protocols, we saw the opportunity to do something different — to develop a new kind of mesh technology that worked in real-time, at ultra-low power, and without the need for centralized control or network managers.

The result is NeoMesh — a fully decentralized, time-synchronized mesh protocol that scales efficiently and reliably, while keeping power consumption exceptionally low.

Today, NeoCortec supplies some of the world’s smallest, lowest-power, bi-directional mesh modules — as well as licensing the NeoMesh stack to partners and OEMs.

NeoCortec is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, and is privately owned by A/S Holger Petersen Holding, a Danish private capital fund with an AAA credit rating from Dun & Bradstreet.

BRAINY NAME: WHY WE CALL OURSELVES NEOCORTEC

Our name — NeoCortec — is a combination of two ideas: “neocortex”, the most advanced part of the human brain, and “technology”, which represents our passion for solving complex challenges through innovation.

The neocortex is responsible for many of the abilities that make humans unique — including language, learning, memory, and social behavior. It’s also central to how we process complex inputs and make decisions based on patterns and relationships. Even today, neuroscientists are still mapping how this remarkable part of the brain works. Its adaptability, decentralized communication, and learning capabilities are key characteristics that have inspired our approach to wireless networking.

In many ways, a wireless mesh network behaves like the neocortex. It’s made up of many individual “nodes” — not neurons, but sensors and actuators — which communicate with each other, make autonomous decisions, and adapt to changing environments. Each node in a NeoMesh network participates in routing, data transmission, and network health, just like neurons collaborate to process and relay information in the brain.

At NeoCortec, we saw a parallel between the brain’s natural, distributed communication system and the kind of resilient, low-power wireless networks we wanted to create for IoT applications. We believe that wireless communication should be just as dynamic, flexible, and efficient as the brain’s own internal network.

Our NeoMesh protocol was developed with that vision in mind — enabling thousands of battery-powered devices to communicate across long distances, with no centralized infrastructure, no single points of failure, and no compromise on power efficiency or scalability.

That’s why we named ourselves NeoCortec — not merely to reflect our technology, but also the inspiration behind it:

A network that thinks. A protocol that adapts. A smarter way to connect things.
