The Network

A device that works you.

Three layers. Each one extends the last.

Signal reach — three layers

No internet required for any layer. Each one extends the previous.

Level 1

WiFi Direct

250m+

Your immediate circle. Fast. Device to device. No router. No infrastructure required. It just works.

Level 2

Bluetooth LE

Close range

Presence detection. Low power. Always active. Powers proximity features without internet.

Level 3

LoRa Puck

1–10km

The small hardware module on your lanyard. Pairs via Bluetooth. Meshtastic compatible. Store-and-forward: the message waits in the network and finds its way when a path opens.

The mesh in your city

How the mesh works

Every Telegotchi in the world strengthens the network.

The more devices exist, the more resilient it becomes. It is not infrastructure owned by a company that can be shut down, surveilled, or sold.

It is infrastructure that grows with the people who use it. Every device a node. Every node a relay. The more of us there are, the harder it is to stop any of us from being heard.

No server. No company. No record.
Just your device, the air, and theirs.

Explore

The mesh is private by default.

One tap and you appear on it. A dot on the map. A position. A message. Nothing else.

Turn it off and you are gone. No trace. No history.

You are infrastructure

Every Telegotchi relays messages for every other device nearby.

You are not just a user on a network. You are part of the network.

In a city of twenty Telegotchi users, twenty nodes cover ground no single device could. Messages route around obstacles, find gaps, take the long way around.

The mesh gets stronger with every device. No company benefits from this. No server tracks it. The value accrues entirely to the people on it.

The Field Puck

The Heltec T1000-E. Credit card sized. On a paracord lanyard. The long-range module for when everything else fails.

Pairs with the device via Bluetooth. Meshtastic compatible out of the box. Store-and-forward: the message waits in the network and finds its way when a path opens. 1–10km range.

For festivals. For remote areas. For the places that have always been out of reach.

It finds a way.
