Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Beartooth different from standard radios like Baofeng for civilian communication?

Beartooth utilizes advanced features like Low Probability of Detect (LPD) and Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) through frequency hopping spread spectrum, making it much harder to detect and target compared to standard Baofeng radios, which can be easily located in modern conflict zones.

How does Beartooth ensure secure communication without cell towers or satellites?

Beartooth operates as a self-forming, self-healing mesh network that is fully encrypted using AES-256. It allows for push-to-talk voice, data, and image transmission without relying on external infrastructure like cellular or satellite networks.

What are the practical range limitations of the Beartooth system?

The range is highly terrain-dependent. Expect up to 30 miles line-of-sight, 10 miles over open water, 1 mile on flat ground, and approximately 200-600 meters in dense urban environments. Drone relays can extend urban range.

Can Beartooth be integrated with other communication systems like Starlink?

Yes, Beartooth is fully compatible with Starlink. By connecting a Beartooth mesh network to a Starlink terminal, users can bridge their local communications to other mesh networks globally, maintaining end-to-end encryption across the entire link.
