About Wind Talker Innovations

Wind Talker Innovations, founded in 2016, is a software technology company that addresses connectivity challenges by transforming existing hardware into dynamic, self-organizing mesh networks. The company was established by U.S. Air Force veterans Ryan Luther and Matt Perdew. Their military careers focused on improving and integrating battlefield communication systems, an experience that directly informed the company's mission after they identified a gap in the commercial market for comparable resilient communication systems. The current CEO is Brandon Craig, also an Air Force veteran with experience at Microsoft and the Gates Foundation.

The company's core offering is Osmosis, a proprietary, licensable Layer 2 network firmware. Instead of requiring new, specialized hardware, Osmosis is designed as a software solution that integrates into equipment from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), turning any radio-enabled device into a node in a secure mesh network. This approach creates a self-architecting and self-healing network that can operate both on and off-grid. The technology automatically discovers nearby devices and dynamically routes data through the most efficient pathways available, enhancing network stability and coverage without needing complex configuration or maintenance. This is particularly beneficial for solving line-of-sight issues in fixed wireless networks and simplifying Wi-Fi deployments by eliminating the need for extensive data cabling.

Wind Talker Innovations operates on a business-to-business model, primarily generating revenue by licensing its Osmosis software to OEMs and forming distribution partnerships. The company serves a diverse client base that includes government entities, emergency responders, and commercial internet service providers. A significant focus is on bridging the digital divide in unserved and underserved areas, such as rural and Tribal communities. To this end, the company acts as a master reseller for hardware partners like Wavesight, offering Osmosis-enabled equipment such as Wi-Fi 6 access points and fixed wireless solutions to the U.S. market through a network of resellers. This strategy aims to provide affordable and reliable broadband solutions by enhancing existing infrastructure.
