Real-world range

In Southern California mountain conditions, a pair of Field Nodes maintains 3–6 km of reliable messaging range across ridges. In open desert or along a coastal trail, range regularly exceeds 10 km. No subscription. No infrastructure. Just LoRa radio.

Up in five minutes.

Everything ships pre-flashed. You'll be on the mesh before you reach the trailhead.

Step 1
Power it on
Flip the switch. The T-Beam Supreme acquires GPS in under 90 seconds in open sky. Your position dot appears on every other node's map.
Step 2
Open the app
Connect via Bluetooth to Meshtastic. You'll see your party on the map. Pre-load offline topos before you leave cell range.
Step 3
Stay in touch across miles
LoRa at 915 MHz with a 5 dBi antenna reaches 3–8 km over open terrain. Messages and GPS positions relay hop-by-hop through the group.
