Khasm Labs & New Use Energy, Off-Grid 5G Network Partnership

A Mission-Aligned Collaboration Born from the Battlefield

In today's world, where every second counts and communication is critical, we face a fundamental challenge: you can't connect what you can't power. That's why New Use Energy (NUE) and Khasm Labs have joined forces to create a new paradigm in off-grid communication. Our partnership delivers fully portable, off-grid networks and edge compute solutions specifically designed for the most demanding and remote environments on Earth.


This isn't just a technology partnership; it's a mission-aligned collaboration forged from real-world needs. The idea was sparked during the Crucible NavalX Challenge, where our shared vision became clear: provide mobility, speed, and survivability for defense, disaster response, and critical infrastructure operators.


New Use Energy brings its rugged, field-proven solar + battery power systems, which have been tested in disaster zones and conflict areas—including three years of experience powering communications for the Ukrainian military. Khasm Labs contributes the KEEN (Khasm Enterprise Edge Network), a portable private 5G and edge compute platform.


Together, we've created a rapid-deploy communications package that just works, wherever you are.

The KEEN + NUE Solution: Features and Benefits

Our bundled solution directly addresses the tactical and logistical pain points of operating at the edge. The system is built for mobility, survivability, and simplicity, ensuring that power and connectivity arrive pre-integrated and ready to go.


Private, Carrier-Grade 5G Connectivity: A fully off-grid private 5G network that is deployable in minutes. Edge Compute for Real-Time Apps: Process data in real time without reliance on a centralized cloud. Stealthy, Reliable Power: Mobile battery packs and solar power provide a clean waveform, low noise, and a low thermal signature—ideal for sensitive communications equipment. True Independence: Operates with no reliance on grid power, the cloud, or GPS. Rapid, Simple Deployment: The entire system can be deployed in under 10 minutes, with no IT team required.

Built for Real-World Impact

In emergencies or operational deployments, traditional infrastructure often fails or simply isn't available. The KEEN + NUE partnership ensures that frontline teams are never left in the dark.


Our solution is designed to support a wide range of critical missions:


  • Emergency & Disaster Response: Fire crews monitoring flare-ups, medics coordinating triage in remote regions, and engineers restoring power after a hurricane.
  • Military & Humanitarian Missions: Tactical deployments and communication hubs for humanitarian aid in remote camps.
  • Critical Infrastructure & Utilities: Utility crews surveying damage across rough terrain or temporary command centers.

As Paul Shmotolokha, CEO of New Use Energy, puts it, “We don’t just each build technology. Together we build tools that can help save lives or complete a mission.”


Moving Forward Together


The KEEN + NUE solution is already being considered for future deployments across a wide range of sectors. We're actively expanding opportunities for public-sector and commercial deployments, ensuring that those working at the edge of crisis always have the power and connectivity they need.
