Accessories IP/Lora Mesh/ATAK/Off-grid encrypted comms device

[Brym427]

Almost finished with the mesh stand alone version. It can be controlled by any device via bluetooth; with ATAK or meshtastic. Can be used without them since the touch screen on backside.

All very high end certified Ip67-68 connectors. This is not designed with cheap chinese parts or circuit boards. Nor cheap metals or coatings that interfere with frequency. High end circuit boards only.

Mil spec Amphenol Socaplex 5v USB ratcheting connectors for smart device connection /charging.

6x 18650 battery swap/ removable by thumb screws. Can run off 2-3 if you need to use them for weapons lights etc. Built in GPS. Etc. Will post more details when I finish up in a day or two.

Kept the dimensions in same range as Silvus and mpu5. So fits nicely in pouches. Main body is 4" tall, with top 6". Battery is roughly 4"

Comes with Tactical Gooseneck antenna.

Finishing up power bank/battery that bolts to bottom. Future upgrades: twist on flywheel battery conversion and 2.4ghz voice over Lora upgrade in the near future.

I have yet to price the cost of parts; to know how much these will be sold for. I could throw a $400 price on a build with cheap chinese parts.

But this build is far from that.

I'll check back with final pics and stats in a day or two. Few tweaks left to do.

ATAK FDE version with External GPS and Bluetooth antenna. All high end certified parts and connectors.

Will soon have an upgrade for these that will have high power "encrypted" data; video, voice and text, off-grid maps.

These will push encrypted megabits not bytes being LoRa's limitations.

Streaming hd video, voice won't be over low power Lora/Meshtastic so the range and clarity will be excellent and range will not be limited. I would like to keep the Lora meshtastic setup, not necessary but for fun and redundancy. Theyll work simultaneously.

Range on the streaming video, voice, data etc will be typical range of previous devices but with 30-50 mile range do-able with clear line of and proper solar repeating nodes in place to alleviate interference from obstructions or foliage if need be. I'm working on a 100 mile setup currently. These will work in ATAK as usual. You could prob play games with each other on your smartphones during the apocalypse if you wanted.

650 per device for basic Lora Meshtastic setup as pictured. External GPS is an additional 100. The IP mesh upgrade with Streaming video, voice, chat etc will be additional $200. Obviously I could ask for way more but that's not my goal.

I have a USB connector option for the military grade Amphenol socaplex ratcheting USB setup for charging the EUD smartphone device; utilizing the 18650 power bank. But they run $200. Not necessary but an option for anyone wanting to go all out.

These radios are designed for the N type mil spec goosneck antennas but they do run around 250-$350 at a few places online. I can direct you to those sources if you want to purchase them. I can't afford to have many of those laying around at the moment.

I include a SMA gooseneck antenna and adapter that works perfectly fine. But know the option is there.

These will have an upgrade to the 18650 battery bank for quick change if you don't want to mess with swapping them out individually.

I do have them designed and setup for the expensive stuff. My goal is provide everyone with top knotch quality thats actually affordable but with the option to go all out like we do with our rifles.

These aren't cheap to make so I don't have tons of parts to have many of these on hand ready to sell. I currently have to fulfill requests until that's possible. Just shoot me a message if interested.

Blacked out Lora/Meshtastic version with External GPS and the Amphenol Socaplex USBFTV EUD 5v power hub, wired to power all Apple devices as well. Amphenol ip68 Switches etc. 14k mah Molicel p28a 18650 swappable power bank. Redundant Touchscreen. And Samsung S20 running meshtastic and ATAK connected to radio via Bluetooth.

I haven't the slightest idea what any of that is or does or how it works but it's damn awesome

Thank you I appreciate your comment. This made me realize I need to sit down and think of a way to explain these; and show how simple they actually can be to use.

Within the next week, the new boards should arrive; which will allow these to have streaming video, voice and chat capability. Fully encrypted. Off-grid. That will probably be the easiest time to do the full blown breakdown.
