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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Blackout Comms T-Deck Plus communicators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCluster License (covers both devices and lets you grow your private cluster)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-configured as a complete private cluster — ready to use out of the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePractical Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRange between two T-Deck Plus units alone is limited; performance improves with better line-of-sight, elevated antennas, or other mesh nodes nearby.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks anywhere LoRa is legal in your region.
