02 / Physical privacy

Privacy.
At the switch.

App permissions ask software to respect a boundary. Cipher 1 puts deliberate physical disconnection in your hands.

Front and rear cameras, microphone and radio connections—with four tactile controls for choosing what stays connected.

CELL
WIFI
CAM
MIC

Video calls need both camera and microphone enabled. Physical control is a boundary—not a promise of invisibility.

03 / Choose your connection

Keep communicating.
Beyond the grid.

Different moments call for different boundaries. Keep the capabilities you need. Leave the rest off.

Mode preview / Field

A message beyond the grid.

Compatible LoRa / MeshCore text messaging, independent of the internet. A physical keyboard for the words that matter when the usual networks aren't there.

Requires compatible peers and an available radio path. Terrain, distance and the network shape what's reachable.

Beyond the usual networks

A few words can be everything.

04 / Bearings, not breadcrumbs

Know the terrain.
Choose your path.

Downloaded maps. GPS / GNSS. Saved waypoints. Local field documents. The essentials travel with you, even when the data connection doesn’t.

A more considered route.

Routes can consider known camera locations, including mapped plate readers and verified signal sensors. Passive signals can suggest candidates for review—not certify every device as a camera.

Maps can be incomplete. Unknown or non-broadcasting cameras may be absent.

05 / Drone Watch

Know what’s
in the air.

Supported Remote ID broadcasts bring reported location and packet age into view, with optional local awareness alerts.

Supported broadcasts only. Coverage varies.

06 / Built to be kept

Real keys.
A life beyond the glass.

A physical keyboard. Tactile controls. Protective construction and a serviceable design, made for a more hands-on relationship with your device.

Serviceable by designKeep your essentials close.
01

Keep the control.

A touch display and physical keyboard. Deliberate inputs, whether you're writing a message or marking a waypoint.

02

Keep it serviceable.

Replaceable enclosure parts and access to power modules. A device you can engage with, not just look at.

03

Keep the essentials.

Downloaded maps, notes and local documents. Prepare what you need before heading beyond a connection.

07 / The Squelch ecosystem

One device.
A wider philosophy.

Go off air isn’t a claim to be invisible. It’s an invitation to broadcast less, collect less and understand the boundaries.

01

Squelch Mobile

A minimal-data mobile-service philosophy. Connection without collecting more than necessary.

02

Squelch Car

Local awareness of what your car and its devices broadcast. Listening, not jamming or hiding your plate.

03

Squelch Audit

Before-and-after signal measurement. Evidence instead of an invisibility claim.

04

Squelch Network

Known camera locations and reviewed discoveries. A better-informed map, never a complete one.

NEWNEWSAMPLE ROUTE
  • Fastest route: passes 4 known cameras
  • Quiet route: passes none
  • New camera found by a Squelch unit
  • Sample route

An illustrative camera map. Awareness is local; sharing discoveries should be a deliberate choice.

We won’t tell you you’re invisible.

Less collection. Clearer boundaries. Honest limits.
