KNL Networks, based in Oulu, Finland, has been in stealth mode during the
past four years while developing a system that enables internet connection
anywhere in the world – even in the middle of the Pacific Ocean – without
using expensive satellite systems.



How does it work?

By utilizing the latest software-defined radio and cognitive radio
technologies.

Traditionally, the terrestrial long-range communication systems have only
been capable of analogue voice or very slow audio data modem communications
that do not fulfill the communication needs of a modern business. KNL’s
communication system relies on short wave radio transmissions, allowing
data to be transmitted over thousands of kilometers. By combining the very
latest cognitive software radio technologies with the completely
re-invented HF-radio system, KNL is capable of providing IP-based
communications over traditional radio waves.

Today, KNL announced the completion of its series A funding round. The
funding amounted to more than $10 million making it one of the biggest
Nordic series A rounds. Creandum is the biggest investor.
