The hardware line

Two devices. One network.

NovaLink's hardware line is built around one job — turning consented, KYC-verified residential connections into a managed, auditable network. The Nx1 and the Hx1 are two Machines built for that job, each sized and positioned for a different footprint. Both carry the NovaLink mark and join the same network.

At home. Always on.

Two Machines, one quiet network.

Features

Designed to be trusted

The Nx1 and Hx1 share the same security foundation, operating system, and network posture.

Hardened by default

A read-only, kernel-hardened OS with no inbound ports open and the home LAN isolated from network workloads.

TPM-backed integrity

Secure boot attestation and full-disk encryption anchored in a TPM 2.0 chip, with a unique Machine certificate.

Signed updates

Firmware and OS updates are cryptographically verified against a NovaLink trust root before they install.

Live Machine dashboard

Owners see real-time status, uptime, firmware version, traffic, and services running — all in one view.

Consent-based

Participation is opt-in, KYC-verified, and fully auditable. The Machine is not an open proxy for anonymous buyers.

Low impact

About 12 W of power and a capped 200 Mbps allocation keep the Machine quiet and unobtrusive at home.

The hardware

Meet the Nx1.

A compact, always-on mini-computer. Two jobs at once: a privacy Machine for the home, and a trusted node in the NovaLink network.

What it does

Two jobs, one box

A single Machine with two clearly separated lives — one private to the household, one productive for the network.

For the home

A privacy Machine the family actually uses

The Nx1 delivers the Auralink app suite to the household — replacing a stack of separate subscriptions with one Machine.

  • Private VPN with no logs
  • AI-assisted threat & phishing blocking
  • Network-wide ad & tracker filtering
  • Encrypted family chat
For the network

A trusted node, with the owner in control

The same Machine contributes clean, consent-based residential supply. Approved workloads run in isolated, metered sessions — never touching the owner's activity.

  • Hardware-isolated workload partition
  • Per-session metering & payout
  • Only vetted business buyers
  • Pause or stop at any time
