Off-grid convoy comms
Ten minutes past the turnoff the phone gives up — no signal, no data, no way to know whether the tail-end truck took the wrong track. Keep scrolling.
Getting the group together
One truck starts the convoy and reads out a short code; everyone else taps it in once. From there the group is closed — each convoy carries its own key, so only the trucks you let in can read what's on the air.
On the move
Everyone who joined shows up as you drive — who's leading, who's dropped back. Send the group a message without picking anything up, or drop a waypoint the others can steer to.
Self-healing mesh
Lead can't reach the tail-end truck, so the one in the middle passes the message on — and only because nobody answered. Every rig relays, the mesh closes over any gap on its own, and it runs on the 915 MHz band.
Fitting it
Twelve or twenty-four volts straight off the vehicle, or a USB-C power bank when you're out of it. The antenna is in the box; the roof kit is there for the days you want more reach.
Every edge, explained
Nothing proprietary and nothing you can't buy at a servo. Keep scrolling for the rest of the hardware.
On the outside
Two standard SMA connectors, so you can run the antenna in the box or put a proper one on the roof.
Not on sale yet
No payment and no deposit. One email when pre-orders open, and nothing else.

TrailCrew is still in development and is not yet certified for sale. It is a communication device for recreational touring — not a safety or emergency product, and it does not replace a satellite beacon.
