Blackout Comms T-Deck Plus Pair – Ready-to-Use 2-Device Off-Grid Mesh Texting & Tracking Set

Ready-to-use pair of handhelds for private, encrypted texting and location sharing over LoRa. No cell service, no internet, no phone apps required. Both devices arrive fully flashed with Blackout Comms firmware, tested, and configured together as a complete private cluster so you can start messaging immediately.

These are two LilyGO T-Deck Plus units in custom PETG cases (color options available). Each has a touchscreen, trackball, and dedicated QWERTY keyboard so they work like simple texting devices. Integrated GPS handles location sharing. Messages and positions stay on the devices and the mesh—nothing depends on a central service.

Key Features

• 2× LilyGO T-Deck Plus with external antennas (SMA connectors for upgrades)
• Custom PETG cases (forest green, black, beige, or pink)
• Touchscreen + trackball + physical QWERTY keyboard on each
• Integrated GPS for location sharing
• Sound and screen-flash alerts
• 2000 mAh battery each (typically 18–24 hours per charge under normal use)
• SD cards included — easy to back up or move between devices
• WiFi capable for optional map downloads or cloud bridge features
• Fully flashed with Blackout Comms firmware, tested, and pre-configured as a private cluster

How It Works

Devices talk directly when they are in radio range (near-instant delivery and confirmation). Out of direct range, the mesh routes the message and can hold it for up to 24 hours so it still arrives even if a device is powered off or temporarily out of reach. Everything is encrypted and digitally signed. Frequency hopping is handled automatically. The cluster stays private to the devices you onboard.

What’s Included

• 2 Blackout Comms T-Deck Plus communicators
• Cluster License (covers both devices and lets you grow your private cluster)
• Pre-configured as a complete private cluster — ready to use out of the box

Practical Notes

• Range between two T-Deck Plus units alone is limited; performance improves with better line-of-sight, elevated antennas, or other mesh nodes nearby.
• Works anywhere LoRa is legal in your region. Follow local radio rules.
• Support is direct from the developer (Altware Development / Blackout Comms). Setup videos, guides, and firmware updates are at chatters.io.

No monthly fees for the core mesh. The devices work fully offline. Optional cloud bridge features are available if you later want them, but they are not required.

This is the simplest way to get a working two-device Blackout Comms setup with T-Deck Plus.
