OFF-GRID MESH HARDWARE
When The Grid Drops, You Still Talk.
A community-buildable line of off-grid mesh communication hardware — the Scout, the Communicator, and the Ark. Encrypted text messages over long-range radio, with no cell towers, no internet, and no subscription.
When a storm takes out the towers, a mesh network doesn't care. Each device relays for the next, so a neighborhood, a work crew, or a relief team stays in contact on gear they own outright — not rent.
Zero units have been built. This is a bet we're inviting you into — not a product on a shelf.
Here's the honest truth: the mesh engine is real and production-graded — encrypted (X25519 + Fernet), long-range LoRa radio, delivered and hardened across four build iterations. What does not exist yet is a single finished unit. No hardware has been manufactured, and none has shipped.
The next step is a funded seven-unit bench run: build the prototypes, field-test the mesh between them, and publish the results — including what fails. Until those seven units are photographed on a table with a written test report, nothing here is a shipping product. We won't pretend otherwise.
If that's the kind of thing you want to back or buy early, get on the list and we'll keep you posted — no charge, no card, no promises we can't keep.
Three Devices. One Network.
Off-grid mesh communication hardware built on open Meshtastic firmware. The designs are complete and bench-proven; the units below are the line we're building toward — reserve early, none shipped yet.
SCOUT
$99
Solar-capable mesh relay node. Deploy on a roof or fence post and forget it. Designed to extend network range 1-5 miles.
COMMUNICATOR
$149
Handheld mesh terminal. QWERTY keyboard, 2.8" screen, GPS. Type and send messages off-grid.
ARK
$399
AI command unit. Pi 5, 7" touchscreen, mesh gateway, offline AI, battery backup. Vehicle or shelf — same device.

Centralized Comms Fail At Their Weakest Link
When the power goes, the towers go. A mesh network has no center to knock out — every device is a relay.
The workaround already exists at hobbyist scale: volunteers ran 200+ mesh nodes for hurricane relief. Overkor's bet is to make that resilience buildable and ownable by a neighborhood — and, eventually, to bridge local mesh out to satellite or cellular backhaul, the box nobody sells yet.
Real Firmware. Zero Units.
Behind the products sits a mesh engine that already exists and is production-graded: X25519 + Fernet encryption, a 13-stage signal chain, and a four-layer radio design, delivered and hardened across four build iterations. What it has never done is drive a physical radio in the field. That's exactly what the seven-unit bench run is for — and it hasn't happened yet.
No card. No promises we can't keep.
Leave your info and we'll tell you the moment the first units exist and what the build log shows — failures included. If you want to help fund or build the bench run, say so below.
This is a notify-me list, not a checkout. We won't charge you here, and nothing ships until real units exist.
