Off-grid mesh communicator. Works when cell towers don't.
Stay connected with your crew where cell service ends.
Power out. Towers down. SCOUT still works.
Text your group across the mountain. No service needed.
Build a local network with your neighbors. No subscription.
The radio that sits in your bag until the day you need it.
Line of sight: 10+ miles. In town with buildings: 1-3 miles. In mountains: highly variable — elevation helps. Add a REPEATER on a rooftop or hilltop and you extend range dramatically.
2-5 days typical use on a single 18650 cell. Sleep mode extends that further. Plug in a small solar panel and it runs indefinitely.
Every SCOUT relays messages for other SCOUTs automatically. If you can't reach someone directly, your message hops through other devices in the mesh until it arrives. More devices = better coverage. No central server. No subscription.
Yes. SCOUT operates on 906 MHz under FCC Part 15 rules — no license required. Same rules as WiFi routers, garage door openers, and baby monitors.
Open-source firmware for LoRa radios. Free. Community-maintained. Works with Android and iOS apps over Bluetooth. You can message, share GPS location, and monitor sensors — all off-grid.
Yes. Pair via Bluetooth to the free Meshtastic app (Android or iOS). Send messages, view the mesh map, and configure your device — all from your phone.
