Blackout Comms is a private, off-grid mesh texting & tracking system, unlike any other civilian mesh system.
Learn about its mesh memory, frequency hopping, zero touch trust & advanced security below...
Mesh Memory
Every comm and node in the cluster continuously retains and propagates the last known position, heading, speed, and battery level of every other device — including ones that have powered off [see demo].
​
Messages are delivered and confirmed with cooperation of the entire cluster. Even devices powered off can receive a message up to 24 hours later.
Simple To Use - Like Texting
Use it pretty much like a texting app, touching, swiping, and typing.
