Off-grid game changer

Straight out of the box, it worked with Meshtastic. Lightweight, durable, and dependable. A serious upgrade from the original model.

Meshtastic pro-level communicator

This is hands-down the best LoRa communicator I’ve tested so far. Signal strength is phenomenal, GPS is accurate, and setup with Meshtastic and ATAK was pretty straightforward if you're familiar with the platforms. Using it for drone field tests in low-signal zones and couldn’t be happier with performance. It’s built like a tank, too.

Perfect for extended hikes

I got the BRAVO for a 3-day solo hike through the Rockies. Battery life was more than enough, even with frequent GPS pings and messaging. Loved how I didn’t need to fiddle with settings—just charged it, paired it with my phone, and it worked. The high-gain antenna made me feel safe knowing I could reach someone if needed. Absolutely worth the investment.

Dependable field gear for search teams

We’ve deployed a few Bravo units for a volunteer SAR team, and the results have been excellent. Easy deployment out of the box, works flawlessly with Meshtastic, and most of our crew use ATAK for mapping so compatibility is a huge win. The device has survived drops, rain, and mud. 10/10 would recommend for field professionals.

Excellent range, bit bulky

I’m blown away by the range and performance of the BRAVO—it kept a stable link through a thick forest where my older node struggled. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is the size—it’s a bit bulkier than I’d prefer for ultralight packing. That said, the rugged build makes up for it. Great for team coordination in backcountry scenarios.
