Power + Connectivity at the Edge: Khasm Labs and New Use Energy Team Up to Bring Real-Time Communications Anywhere
Power + Connectivity at the Edge: Khasm Labs and New Use Energy Team Up to Bring Real-Time Communications Anywhere
When seconds matter and infrastructure is down, one thing becomes clear: you can’t connect what you can’t power.
That’s why Khasm Labs and New Use Energy Solutions (NUE) are joining forces — to deliver fully portable, off-grid Networks and edge compute solutions designed to perform in the harshest, most remote, and most mission-critical environments on earth.
The partnership was initiated through the Crucible NavalX Challenge, where both teams aligned around a shared vision: enabling mobility, speed, and survivability for defense, disaster response, and critical infrastructure operators.
Together, we’re combining KEEN (the Khasm Enterprise Edge Network) — a portable private 5G and edge compute platform — with NUE’s rugged solar + battery power systems, delivering a rapid-deploy communications package that just works, wherever you are.
What We’ve Built Together
The KEEN + NUE bundled solution provides:
- Private, carrier-grade 5G connectivity
- Edge compute for real-time apps and processing
- Stealthy, reliable, clean power using mobile battery packs and solar
- No reliance on grid power, cloud, or GPS
- Deployment in under 10 minutes — with no IT team required
From wildfires to the frontlines to field hospitals and temporary command centers, this system is designed for mobility, survivability, and simplicity.
Built for Real-World Impact
In emergencies or operational deployments, traditional infrastructure often fails — or simply isn’t there. Our solution ensures that connectivity and power arrive together, pre-integrated, tested, and ready to go.
Whether supporting:
- Fire crews monitoring flare-ups
- Medics coordinating triage in remote regions
- Engineers restoring power after a hurricane
- Utility crews surveying damage across rough terrain
...KEEN + NUE enables better coordination, faster response, and safer outcomes — when they matter most.
From the Founders
“This is more than a technology partnership — it’s a mission-aligned collaboration,” says Jim Brisimitzis, Founder and CEO at Khasm Labs. “Together with New Use Energy, we’re bringing real-time communications and clean, mobile power to the people and places that need them most.”
“We don’t just each build technology. Together we build tools that can help save lives or complete a mission,” added Paul Shmotolokha, CEO of New Use Energy. “With deep roots in disaster response and three years experience powering communications and electronic warfare with the Ukrainian military, we saw a natural partnership to enable Khasm Lab’s portable communications solutions to deploy faster, communicate clearly, and focus on protecting people — not just surviving the moment. We have learned a lot of lessons these last years and one of them is the need for stealthy battery based power with a clean waveform to effectively run communications equipment”.
Why This Matters
In today’s world, the frontline isn’t always defined — it could be a wildfire response zone, a remote construction site, a refugee camp, or a tactical deployment. The KEEN + NUE partnership ensures that no matter where that frontline is, the people there aren’t left in the dark.
“As a retired first responder, I’ve seen firsthand how lack of connectivity can slow down the help people need,” says Scott Waller, CTO at Khasm Labs. “This isn’t just a product. It’s peace of mind for those working at the edge of crisis.
Moving Forward Together
Both Khasm Labs and New Use Energy call the greater Seattle area home. But our shared mission — to support public safety, national security, and resilient infrastructure — extends far beyond the Pacific Northwest.
We're actively expanding opportunities for commercial and public-sector deployment across:
- Emergency and disaster response
- Critical infrastructure sites
- Military and humanitarian missions
- Smart city and utility networks
