Built for families, hiking, camping, outdoor adventures, travel, volunteer teams, festivals, and other off-grid situations. COMPATIBLE HARDWARE Off-grid communication requires MeshCore-compatible LoRa hardware. Download maps before heading out.

Help requests go only to members of your teams, not to emergency services or to Nelos. Nelos should not be your only means of communication or safety in critical situations.
