ALIAS ROGUE · THE FLAGSHIP HANDHELD · IP67
It's the handheld that keeps you reachable when the network isn't. Think search teams in the backcountry, families when the towers go down, and reporters who can't risk being overheard.
Communication that belongs to you: your network and your data. No subscription, no back door, and no one watching.

Concept render. Final hardware may differ.
WHAT'S INSIDE
There are two separate radio chips inside, each with its own link to the processor. One transmits while the other receives, on separate frequencies, at the same time, so you're never stuck waiting for the channel to clear.
The battery is hot-swappable and built to keep up with you. Swap it on the move, charge it on the move.
Every message and every call stays locked between the sender and the receiver. There's nobody in the middle.
Push to talk to one person or your whole group. It's encrypted end to end and carried over the mesh, not a cell tower. When talking isn't an option, send a text. Bring along as many people as you need.
Premium, high-quality maps come standard, with no paid tier and no subscription. And you decide who can see you: you pick who and when, and everyone else stays in the dark.
Your network grows with every hand you shake. You don't need phone numbers or accounts.
It has onboard sensors, the kind of tools that still work when nothing else will.
One flip cuts every data pathway. When you want to go dark, you go dark.
It's an open platform. It's your device, so you make the rules.
OPEN PLATFORM
Rogue is open. Put your own software on it and use it to run the gear you already own, on your terms. There's no app store standing in the way, and no account you have to ask for permission.
Read your own sensors out in the field, and keep the data with you.
Check on and control the cameras you own, without sending them through someone else's cloud.
Open the gate at the end of the drive from wherever you are on the mesh.
Arm, disarm and get alerts from your own system, even when the internet is down.
Map the wireless networks around you for your own surveys and research.
Pair a third-party Flock detector to pick out the cellular signal of nearby Flock license-plate cameras, and get a heads-up before you or your vehicle are in range. Accessory sold separately, not built into Rogue.
SMART HOME
Rogue speaks Matter over Thread, so if your home already runs Matter devices, Rogue can be the remote. Lights, locks and sensors, right from the same device you talk on.
Use custom software lawfully, and only on devices and networks you own or have permission to use.

ROGUE FAQ
Usually 12+ miles, line of sight. Terrain, elevation and whatever's in the way all make a difference. Our best so far is 21 miles, hilltop to hilltop, line of sight across open water.
LoRa is a long-range radio technology built to carry a signal for miles on very little power, over license-free bands. Most LoRa radios are half-duplex: a single radio that can talk or listen, but never both at once. Rogue and Repeater use FDD (frequency-division duplex) with two separate radio chips, each with its own connection to the processor. One transmits on one frequency while the other receives on another, at the same time. So when a Repeater relays your message, it can pass traffic along and keep listening, which means less waiting at every hop.
Yes. Alias V1 runs on license-free bands that are available in all 50 states.
Text, push-to-talk voice, location sharing and SOS. You can add more with apps built for the Rogue.
Yes, and we built it that way on purpose. Alias is made for the whole family: custom-hardened Linux, onboard encryption, no back doors, no data mining and no ad targeting. Your child's conversations and location stay between them and the people they choose.
