Hoplynk

Today marks 250 years of the United States Marine Corps, a brotherhood built on a simple idea: whatever, wherever, you can trust the Marines to get the job done. The Corps taught generations of Marines to improvise, adapt, and overcome. To hold fast when the plan collapses. To find a way to win. To serve something larger than themselves. It’s a culture that prizes initiative over comfort, integrity over ego, and excellence without excuses. At Hoplynk, that spirit runs deep, born from lessons learned in the Marines. Where connectivity meant life or death, where communication under fire wasn’t just a technical problem, but often a human one. As we celebrate the Marine Corps’ 250th birthday, we honor every Marine, past and present, who’s carried the burden of service, and we reaffirm our own: to keep them connected, safe, and ready, no matter the environment. To another 250 years of the Marine Corps, and another 250 years of our republic. Semper Fidelis. Always connected. https://lnkd.in/gebkzEEj

No comms, no problem! We’ve been out at the Naval Postgraduate School’s JIFX exercise this week testing our technology with partners, military representatives, and law enforcement. When Starlink went down for a few of our counterparts, Hoplynk sprung into action, delivering assured comms utilizing all the available local connections. We’re halfway through our busiest week of the year, but still had a moment to stop and have some fun at the shoot houses on Camp Roberts. Stay tuned!

We've got a huge week ahead for Hoplynk! The team is gearing up for a number of exciting demonstrations across the country! Monday–Thursday: We’ll be showcasing at JIFX at Camp Roberts, connecting with innovators and demonstrating how Hoplynk supports mission-ready collaboration. Wednesday: We’ll have the team at the Southwest Mission Acceleration Center (MAC) Fuse Accelerator to demo our platform alongside other groundbreaking defense tech and dual-use innovators. Thursday: We’ll wrap the week at Darley Days, showing how Hoplynk helps teams move faster, share smarter, and stay connected in complex operational environments. We’re proud to be working with such an incredible community of forward-thinking leaders driving innovation in defense and emergency response. If you’ll be at any of these events, stop by and say hi 👋. We’d love to connect! #Hoplynk #DefenseInnovation #JIFX #SWMAC #DarleyDays #TechDemo #Collaboration #MissionReady

Let's take a second to talk culture. In the Marine Corps, the ethos was very simple. Honor. Courage. Commitment. We’ve brought those beliefs with us to Hoplynk, where we believe culture is everything. Culture is what drives decisions when no one's around to weigh in. Culture is knowing you can rely on your teammate and that you have shared values. Culture is what you do, and from Aristotle to Horowitz, you ARE what you do. The right culture attracts great people, and the wrong one sends them running. Culture keeps them aligned, trusted, and motivated. It’s how small teams do big things. At Hoplynk, our culture comes down to three simple principles: Candor: Say the hard thing kindly, early, and with evidence. Speak up during decisions. Humility: Strong opinions, loosely held. Change your mind with facts. Teach and learn in the open; celebrate team wins over heroics. Initiative: Run toward the smoke. Own problems end-to-end. Ship in small, safe steps with clear, observable outcomes. These are the behaviors we expect of ourselves, each other, and everyone we bring onto the team. They guide how we build, communicate, and grow. More about what these values mean to us here https://lnkd.in/dRsuAcAx

Hoplynk is Hiring! We’re a small team tackling a giant problem: keeping people and machines connected when everything else drops out. We’re building resilient connectivity for the autonomous edge: AI-driven, transport-agnostic systems that keep missions, responders, and explorers online when nothing else can. It’s early. The climb is steep. Nothing about this is easy, but that’s what makes it worth doing. We’re engineering systems that have to perform in the toughest conditions: from disaster zones and defense missions to fleets, field teams, and autonomous networks on the move. Expect real engineering and a fast pace. Last-minute flights. Airbnbs in the desert. Late nights and hard problems. We’re hiring: • Network Systems Engineers to design and scale the core. • Embedded Systems Engineers to push performance at the edge. • Operations and Product Specialists to keep the mission running smoothly. The payoff? Building something that actually works when it matters: a new way to communicate across the connected edge. If that sounds like your kind of challenge, come build with us. https://lnkd.in/dK_PJH9A Pictured below: another late-night session in another city. #Hoplynk #Hiring #AINative #Connectivity #DefenseTech #DualUse #MissionDriven

AWS crashed today. The whole internet felt it - but not us. Hoplynk’s network has remained completely unaffected during the current AWS outage. Events like today's are a testament to the power of multipath communications. Building resilience into your connectivity stack isn’t optional anymore; it’s essential. Redundant, intelligent routing ensures that no single cloud or carrier outage takes your operations down. This is what true uptime looks like. #networkresilience #awsoutage #connectivity #hoplynk #multipath

In 2025, why is the internet still built to react, not anticipate? At best, today’s internet runs like a packed highway. At worst, it runs like steam-engine trains. Traffic follows fixed tracks. Routers follow rigid rules. If a path breaks, the system stalls until a switch is thrown. That’s failover. SD-WAN is a little better — a control tower that can steer traffic across tracks. But it’s still limited to static routes, designed for offices and branch networks. Hoplynk’s Hydra software takes a different approach. Instead of waiting for failure, Hydra: 1) Pre-empts collapse by sensing latency, jitter, and loss in real time 2) Uses all available tracks at once — LTE/5G, SATCOM, Wi-Fi, radios 3) Learns and adapts with each environment and mission The result isn’t redundancy. It’s resilience. Calm under pressure, because breakage is expected, handled, and invisible. 👉 We want to hear your stories - when’s the worst time the internet has dropped out on you? #SDWAN #ResilientComms #Networking #EdgeAI #MissionCritical

AI is about to seriously change the internet as we know it. The internet we use today was built on static rules that haven’t changed much since the dot-com era. Packets follow fixed paths. Routers make hardcoded decisions. Failover waits for failure to “failover.” That model worked when networks were predictable and mostly stationary. Dual-fiber works fine for an office. But how does that help a Tesla? Or a drone? The world has changed. Devices move. Environments shift. Applications demand real-time continuity. AI will transform networks from rigid rulebooks into adaptive systems. - See congestion before it hits. - Anticipate link collapse instead of reacting to it. - Personalize routing to the mission, not just the protocol. This is why we’re building Hydra, an AI-native mesh at Hoplynk. A network that: - Observes latency, jitter, loss, and movement - Decides how to split, switch, or shape flows - Learns from real feedback to improve over time The result: connectivity that feels calm under pressure — because breakage is expected and handled before you ever notice. 👉 What’s one decision you wish your network could make automatically? #EdgeAI #AIInfra #MeshNetworking #MissionCritical #Networking

Ever tried to take Zoom calls on vacation or on the move? It’s a gamble. In Italy, I rotated between Starlink, local cell coverage, and hotel Wi-Fi. Each one kind of worked… until it didn’t. Hotel Wi-Fi → hit or miss. What worked steadily for 10 minutes would drop out of nowhere Starlink → fast, but expensive, with inexplicable drops in coverage. Cell networks → solid in cities, but temperamental. Never knowing which one to use, or which will work this time, adds stress you just don’t need. Wouldn’t it be better to just connect to everything and let the system figure out the best pathways? That’s what we mean by transport-agnostic. Hoplynk’s Hydra software abstracts away the guesswork. Every network becomes part of the pool: Voice → lowest latency path Video → blended across links Telemetry → never dropped Bulk data → queued until capacity is back You don’t care whether it’s Starlink, LTE, Wi-Fi, or Fiber. You just know the connection is steady. 👉 If you never had to gamble on a single network again, how would that change your world?
