FAQ

Common questions about Beacon 2

Answers to the questions we hear most often before customers commit to Beacon 2.

What's in the box with OffGrid Beacon 2?
Beacon 2 ships with the radio (Meshtastic pre-flashed), a replaceable SMA antenna, a belt clip, a USB-C charging cable, an emergency whistle, and display-stand packaging that doubles as a desk kickstand.
How is Beacon 2 different from Beacon 1?
Beacon 2 adds a larger 3000 mAh battery (multi-week standby), N48H magnets that grip and hold (the slipping issue from Beacon 1 is solved), a replaceable external SMA antenna with an on/off switch, sun-tolerant filament, a charge-light cutout, a reset button, a belt clip, and an emergency whistle.
Is Meshtastic already installed?
Yes. Beacon 2 ships with current Meshtastic firmware pre-flashed and the US region pre-configured. Pair with the Meshtastic app over Bluetooth 5.0 and you are on the mesh in under ten minutes.
What is the range of Beacon 2?
Up to 10+ km line of sight on LoRa at 902–928 MHz with the stock antenna. Real-world range in forests, cities, or hills is shorter, but Meshtastic's mesh routing extends coverage as more nodes join your network. A higher-gain antenna (SMA, screw-on) extends range further when stationary.
Does Beacon 2 work with iPhone and Android?
Yes. Beacon 2 attaches magnetically to MagSafe iPhones and the most popular MagSafe cases. Android phones work with a MagSafe-compatible case or adapter ring. Pairing is via the official Meshtastic app over Bluetooth 5.0.
Do I need a license?
No. Beacon 2 operates on the unlicensed 915 MHz ISM band in the United States when the correct Meshtastic region is selected (set at the factory). No ham or GMRS license is required.
Can I run MeshCore instead of Meshtastic?
Yes. The underlying RAK4630 hardware (nRF52840 + SX1262) supports both Meshtastic and MeshCore firmware, so you can run the workflow you already prefer.
How long does shipping take?
OffGrid Beacon 2 ships free from the United States with a 1–3 day handling window and 2–7 day USPS or UPS transit. International shipping is not currently offered.
