TechLab
TechLab brings together Acuántico Power’s research, analysis and experiments. The work is focused mainly on amateur radio, SDR and local artificial intelligence, accompanied by a Digital Awareness line covering privacy, control and technological dependency.
Digital Awareness
Privacy, surveillance, digital identity and technological dependency: the context you need to understand who controls the tools we use.
Featured research
Two pieces on Radio and two on Local AI that sum up the lab’s approach.

Does TechLab offer step-by-step guides?
No. TechLab is a lab focused on analysis, research and experimentation. It digs into concepts, phenomena and technologies without relying on a tutorial format.
Why are TechLab articles so long?
Because they aim to give topics technical, social and historical context. The goal is to understand how the systems we analyze actually work.
Is TechLab only about amateur radio?
No. While radio is a core part of the project, TechLab also covers AI, networks, security, privacy, digital infrastructure and other fields tied to the modern tech world.
Can I suggest topics or investigations?
Yes. If you spot trends, phenomena or technologies worth a deep dive, you can propose them for future TechLab investigations.
