Secure Mesh Nodes

Extend the range and resilience of your cluster by adding one or more nodes. After onboarding a new node (a few taps from the root device), it will automatically be sensed by your other devices and begin its role within your cluster.

Nodes can be mobile or permanently mounted to function as a base station. A node in your car or on your backpack can be quite an effective cluster extender.

Extremely portable, easily strapped to a backpack, sat in a window, or wherever.
