Group orders

Ordering for a CERT team or mutual aid group? Contact us for orders of 5 or more — we'll pre-configure all devices to the same channel, cut a group discount, and include quick-reference cards for every team member.

Deploy your
team net.

All nodes in a group order are pre-configured to the same encrypted channel. Power on and you're already on the net.

Step 1
Configure for your team
Group orders arrive pre-configured to the same channel with matching encryption keys. Power on and you're immediately in comms.
Step 2
ATAK integration (optional)
Install the Meshtastic-ATAK plugin on Android. Your team's GPS positions appear on the tactical map in real time — no TAK server required.
Step 3
Deploy the net
Station a Super Node at the Command Post for maximum range. Field Nodes go with every team lead. The mesh routes automatically — no radio operator needed.
