HIMERA

We are proud to finish this year, nominated in the “Top 100 Rising Ukrainian Startups” catalog 🔥 This year, HIMERA has come a long way, going from the MVP to entering the legacy tactical communications market both in Ukraine and internationally. We are humbled to be highlighted as one of the 100 most promising Ukrainian startups shaping the future of innovations by Techosystem and Ukrainian Startup Fund: https://lnkd.in/gtZWtw_x And we want to continue the pace next year! We are set to become the next leader in communications for the Ukrainian Defense Forces and beyond.🇺🇦

Our team recently executed the inaugural trials of the enhanced Himera G1 Pro L Handset in collaboration with representatives from 13 military units and charitable foundations Razom and Come Back Alive. The primary objective was to assess the device's operational effectiveness in the field. The trials yielded exceptional results: The Himera G1 Pro L demonstrated reliable communication, even in challenging terrain with various obstacles. Furthermore, we conducted tests on communication across diverse locations, utilizing a repeater to facilitate inter-group communication, effectively extending the radio's range. The military units praised the radio's capacity to expand communication coverage without compromising signal integrity and its enhanced audio quality. We are steadfast in our commitment to advancing technology to provide the most efficient and secure communication solutions for Ukraine's defenders and globally.

Introducing our new product: the HIMERA G1 Pro digital handheld radio. This radio is not just an improved version of its predecessor, the HIMERA G1. The Pro version is the result of many months of hard work by our team, who have been developing the new product and improving its functionality. We have carefully collected feedback from users and learned from our own mistakes, corrected all the shortcomings, conducted testing with maximum attention to the smallest details, and are confident that HIMERA G1 Pro will set a new level of performance for radios designed to operate in complex electronic environments. Here's what one of Ukraine's most famous battalions, the Da Vinci Wolves Separate Battalion, has to say about the new version of the radio: “The infantry received a low probability of detection and a secure communication channel with the simplicity and affordability of this solution. We've been waiting for these radios, interacting with the Himera team, and finally, we can test them in combat conditions. Such modern technical solutions give our fighters an advantage on the battlefield, and we are satisfied,” said Matahari, commander of the Da Vinci Wolves' communications unit. Among the features of the HIMERA G1 Pro are FHSS frequency hopping, AES-256 encryption, voice and data transmission, a Mobile Ad-hoc Network, an extended communication range, and a new user-friendly design. These and other features allow the HIMERA G1 Pro to effectively meet the needs of the defense forces in secure communications.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine changed the world's perception of war as such. A giant, heavily armed tyrant state attacked a peaceful country that was not prepared for a full-scale conflict. But Russia's blitzkrieg failed thanks to the resilience and will of Ukrainians. And the war challenged us to find a way to arm the army quickly, cheaply, and efficiently, and to provide it with secure communications. HIMERA has become a very reliable way to solve this problem, if not a panacea. And now the story of the company and our communication system is gaining momentum: not only the Ukrainian military (who are always in the first place for us), but also foreign soldiers are interested in the technology and product. The specialized edition of the magazine told about the features of HIMERA devices, startups that have begun to play a big role in this war, and the specifics of electronic warfare. https://lnkd.in/g99Wb335
