RM-2 Ruggedized MANET Radio

From $795.00

Made to order — allow 8 weeks for assembly and shipping

Available Variants

Portable $795.00
Infrastructure $895.00

The RM-2 is the next evolution of the ruggedized mesh radio that changed the game. Building on the proven RM-1 platform, it delivers professional-grade performance in the same compact, bombproof form factor.

At its core is a new, American-made LoRa PCB designed by AT Labs. It doubles transmit power to 2 watts (for licensed HAM operators), significantly increases bandwidth, and supports a variety of traffic simultaneously through the mesh.

  • 2W transmit power (HAM licensed) — double the RM-1
  • Extruded aluminum chassis with shock-absorbing bumpers
  • IP-68 / MIL-STD-810H pending — sealed waterproof I/O
  • 10 Ah internal battery — days of operation per charge
  • Backward-compatible with RM-1 and standard Meshtastic channels
  • Custom firmware available for Meshtastic, MeshCore, and Reticulum
Firmware Notice: The RM-2 radio core cannot accept input signals above 8 dB. Transmit power must be set to 8 or below in firmware settings. Failure to comply will result in irreparable damage not covered under warranty.

The Response Crate System

When a Radio Isn't Enough

Individual radios extend your reach. The Response Crate System gives you the entire communications backbone — radios, charging, server, software, and situational awareness — in a single deployable package. No recurring costs, no cloud dependency, no IT staff on scene.

The Problem

Cell Networks

Limited to line-of-sight coverage. Canyons, hollows, and dense urban terrain go dark. Overloaded in mass-casualty events when you need them most.

The Problem

Satellite Comms

Expensive subscriptions running whether you use them or not. Requires clear sky view. Still reliant on third-party infrastructure you don't control.

The Problem

DIY Mesh Nodes

Hobbyist boards and 3D-printed enclosures are fragile, inconsistent, and largely unsupported. A prototype is not a solution on a live incident.

AT Labs builds the gap-filler — rugged, subscription-free, out-of-box ready mesh communications.

Flagship System · Constellation Response × AT Labs

The Response Crate

Complete TOC-in-a-box. Open it up, track everyone.

When your team arrives on scene, the network should already be there. The Response Crate is a complete Tactical Operations Center you can carry in a truck bed. Open the lid, power on — fifteen radios begin charging immediately, the TAK server comes up automatically, and your mesh backbone is live across the AO. No IT staff. No satellite subscription. No cell dependency. Just operational awareness, on your terms.

Hardware Suite

15 × RM-2 Radios & Accessories

Slot in when stored, charge immediately. No separate chargers. Radios, antennas, cables, and pouches included.

Drop-In Charging

Fast charging with no loose cables. Radios are ready to pull and deploy the moment you arrive on scene.

Internal Battery

Server and networking stack run fully self-powered. Shore power input extends ops indefinitely.

Onboard TAK Server
