Rugged radios that let your group text each other with no cell service, internet or satellites. The NPH-1 is a machined-aluminum Meshtastic radio that runs 2–4 weeks per charge; the EDICT-HP puts out 30 dBm (1 W) on swappable Baofeng UV-5R battery packs.
Signal 22 dBm is the standard transmit power for Meshtastic radios.
Toughness A CNC-machined case of 6061-T6 aluminum, the alloy used for bike frames and premium flashlights, sealed and internally tested to IP67: dust-tight, and 30 minutes under 1 m of water. Most Meshtastic radios use plastic or 3D-printed cases.
Battery 2–4 weeks per charge from a built-in 5200 mAh battery, recharged over waterproof USB-C.
Signal 30 dBm is 1 watt, about six times the standard Meshtastic power, for longer reach.
Toughness The electronics are potted: fully encased in silicone, the way automotive and marine electronics are protected from shock, vibration and water. The shell is industrial-printed nylon with aluminum plates.
Battery Runs on the battery packs made for the Baofeng UV-5R walkie-talkie, so you can carry spares and swap them in the field.
Your phone talks to a nearby radio over Bluetooth LE.
The radio sends over LoRa; every node in range relays it.
It reaches the other radio and phone with no cell tower or internet.
Off-grid LoRa mesh rangeEvery radio makes the mesh stronger.
Each node sends, receives and relays for every radio around it. Expect one to two miles through timber, several miles with clear line of sight, and ten or more from high ground. Coverage grows with every unit you add.

NPH-1 enclosures are CNC-machined from aluminum on our own equipment in Illinois. EDICT-HP shells are MJF Nylon 12 with aluminum plates, fully silicone potted. Every unit is assembled and tested in-house.
Off-grid communication use casesBuilt for people who can't rely on cell networks.
Emergency & disaster response
When storms and outages take cell networks down, Meshtastic radios keep working on their own.
Overlanding & off-road travel
Vehicles, base camps and support teams stay connected on remote trails without cell coverage.
Grid-down backup networks
A Meshtastic network deploys quickly as decentralized messaging that needs no outside support.
Delta Plus Proto devices are rugged, high-performance Meshtastic nodes built for reliable off-grid communication using LoRa mesh networking. They send and receive messages, relay traffic for other nodes, and let you communicate without cell service or internet access. Every new unit in your area strengthens the mesh and extends its range.
What is LoRa?
LoRa is a low-power wireless communication technology designed for long-range data transmission over sub-GHz frequencies. It keeps devices communicating where Wi-Fi or cellular signals are weak or unavailable.
What is Meshtastic?
Meshtastic is an open-source platform that enables encrypted text and GPS messaging over LoRa mesh networks without cell service. Each device relays messages for the others, creating a self-healing network that works in remote places, during emergencies, or anywhere normal communication fails.
Does it work with my phone?
Yes. Delta Plus Proto radios pair with iOS and Android phones and tablets, and with desktop and laptop computers. The Meshtastic apps let you send encrypted messages, share GPS locations and manage the network without specialized radio knowledge.
How long does the battery last?
The NPH-1 typically runs 2–4 weeks on a single charge, which suits emergency kits, extended deployments and long trips. The EDICT-HP runs on standard Baofeng UV-5R packs, so you can carry spares and hot-swap in the field.
