Blackout Comms Custom T-Deck – Single Upgraded Off-Grid Mesh Communicator
Add one of our premium, hand-built communicators to your Blackout Comms setup. These start with a T-Deck base and include our custom upgrades for longer battery life, better reliability, and enhanced features. The device arrives fully flashed and pre-configured, ready for immediate use.
 
Map Support Included: I will pre-load map tiles for your area based on the shipping address. If you send me 1-2 GPS coordinates, I’ll customize the offline maps even more precisely for your needs.
If you purchase additional Blackout Comms devices at the same time, I will configure them together as a complete private cluster. Otherwise, the device is ready for you to name and join to your existing cluster.

1 Altware-Customized Communicator
Choose Black/Green, Black/Pink, or Black/Black color scheme (let us know at checkout)

How It Works Use these like a secure texting app over LoRa. Devices communicate instantly when in range. Out of range, the mesh network automatically stores and forwards messages (with up to 24-hour caching). Strong encryption, digital signatures, frequency hopping, and mesh memory keep everything private and reliable — even if some devices are powered off.
No internet, cell service, or apps required. Simply power it on and communicate.
 
Optional Upgrades (add at checkout)
Additional upgraded antennas
More Communicators, Mesh Links, or Pagers to expand your system
