Blackout Comms Private Clusters

A private cluster is a private group of trusted devices that securely communicate, share location, and work together as a decentralized mesh network. 

Sending & Receiving Messages

  • Smart path planning for direct messages

  • Decentralized mesh cache helps deliver packets

  • Direct Messages & Broadcasts

  • Direct message delivery confirmation

  • Broadcast confirmation of accept & rebroadcast

  • Broadcasts can optionally be displayed on nodes

Location Awareness & Sharing

  • Cluster-wide awareness of locations and

  • connectivity

  • Location is always being securely shared & propagated through cluster-wide “pings”

  • View current or last-known location, speed, and heading of any device in your cluster - even those out of range

Limitations

  • New devices must be physically close enough to the root device in order to be onboarded

  • Max of 90 communicators and links

  • Unlimited read-only links

  • DM delivery attempts can continue for up to 24 hours

  • Broadcast messages can continue to propagate for up to 2 hours

Security

  • New devices must be onboarded by the root device

  • Direct messages are asymmetrically encrypted

  • Broadcasts are symmetrically encrypted

  • All transmissions are digitally signed

  • Chain of trust is enforced by all devices, with the root device the top of the chain

  • Frequency hopping is controlled by an algorithm using time, cluster symmetric keys, and sometimes other factors, making it unpredictable to untrusted devices
