About Us

An Owl is Born

OWL was born in the summer of 2018 when five coding enthusiasts collaborated for the IBM Call for Code. This global challenge, following the devastating Hurricanes Harvey and Maria in 2017, inspired developers from 156 nations to create technology to assist communities in preparing for and recovering from natural disasters. Our innovative idea, "Project OWL," was not only born out of this challenge but also clinched the global grand prize.

Our startup has since taken flight, deploying in numerous locations spanning the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia. A significant portion of our work is centered in Puerto Rico where we installed nearly 30 solar-powered, wireless DuckLink devices in 2019. These devices are positioned in communities and universities around the island, marking our commitment to those who need it most.

At the heart of OWL lies an unwavering intellectual curiosity that drives our endeavors. We are passionate about ensuring customer success through innovative, cost-effective technology. Our company values flexibility and resilience, always adapting and overcoming any obstacles that come our way. We take pride in our pursuit of excellence, fostering a culture of trust and respect in all our actions.

Specializing in mesh network technology, OWL is steadfastly committed to creating new networking solutions for people, places, and things, regardless of their geographical location or circumstances. Our mission is to connect the world, one network at a time.
