Grid-down communications

When the grid
goes dark.

The Super Node was designed for this exact scenario. Solar-powered, sealed, autonomous — it runs indefinitely without grid power and starts relaying the moment you need it most.

Infrastructure built during a disaster is infrastructure built badly. The Super Node needs to be running before The Big One — so when it hits, your neighborhood mesh is already live.

Southern California context

During the January 2025 LA wildfires, cell infrastructure failed across affected areas within hours of ignition. Every organization in Southern California with a comms gap today will have a crisis tomorrow. The window to prepare is now — while it still feels like a precaution.

Deploy before
you need it.

The Super Node needs to be mounted, charged, and running before any event. Setup takes an afternoon.

Step 1
Mount before the disaster
Install the Super Node on a south-facing roof or elevated structure. Aim the solar panel. Seal everything. It should be up and forgotten before any event.
Step 2
Distribute Field Nodes to neighbors
Every household in your prep group gets a Field Node. When cell fails, everyone is still in contact and visible on the mesh map.
Step 3
Operate autonomously
The Super Node relays all traffic automatically. No internet. No cell. No monthly bill. Your neighborhood mesh runs entirely on solar — indefinitely.

Parts & substitution notice: Node Star products are hand-assembled to order. While we maintain standard bills of materials, component availability may vary. We reserve the right to substitute functionally equivalent parts — same chipset family, equal or greater specification — when sourcing conditions require it. Substitutions will never reduce core functionality. Customers will be notified of any significant changes prior to shipment.
