PREPARED FOR THE WORST CASE
Not just offline.
Built to survive.
AegisNode combines protected hardware, independent power, and locally stored essentials in one field-ready system—so critical capability stays with you when infrastructure does not.
EMP-hardened case
Supplied in a protective EMP-hardened case for storage and transport.
Solar power included
Recharge away from the grid, with up to two weeks of battery life depending on usage.
THE SYSTEM
Four capabilities.
One field-ready interface.
Designed around the information and tools that remain useful when infrastructure does not.
Offline knowledge
Carry structured survival manuals on removable storage. Browse nested libraries, search indexed content, and jump directly to the relevant passage.
Offline maps + GPS
Open compact AGM maps without a network. Pan, zoom, and place your live GNSS position directly on the map.
LoRa messaging
Send encrypted direct or broadcast messages to nearby AegisNodes. Delivery acknowledgements, retries, and message history work without an SD card.
Field tools
Translate text and Morse in either direction, inspect coordinates, and use a growing collection of utilities designed for constrained situations.
PURPOSE-BUILT DATA
More knowledge.
Less overhead.
General-purpose file formats carry costs that matter on constrained hardware. AegisNode uses two proprietary formats built specifically for offline maps and manuals, fitting more useful information into limited storage while requiring less memory, processing, and power to access it.
MAP FORMAT.AGM
Aegis Grid Map
Packages offline map tiles and navigation data into a compact, device-ready structure. AegisNode can retrieve only the area and zoom level needed instead of processing an oversized general-purpose map.
- Compact tiled map storage
- Fast local pan and zoom
- Designed for low-memory access
MANUAL FORMAT.AMN
Aegis Manual
Stores structured manuals in a compact, indexed format made for the AegisNode reader. Sections, navigation, and search remain available without loading or parsing an entire document.
- Dense offline knowledge libraries
- Indexed search and direct lookup
- Minimal processing and storage overhead
NAVIGATION / GNSS
Your position.
No signal required.
The receiver is activated only when navigation needs it. Once acquired, coordinates can be read directly or overlaid on an offline AGM map.
- Live latitude, longitude, altitude and satellite data
- Compact tiled maps loaded from SD
- Pan and zoom with physical controls
- Power-aware GPS lifecycle
ONE CODEBASE / TWO DEVICES

DESIGN PRINCIPLE
“A critical tool should not become useless because a server, subscription, or signal disappeared.”
AegisNode stores core content locally, minimizes unnecessary radio and screen activity, and keeps vital messages in onboard flash.
FIELD SOFTWARE
Small tools.
Real utility.
COMMON QUESTIONS
AegisNode, explained.
What is AegisNode?
AegisNode is a survival-first, offline field computer designed to keep essential knowledge, navigation, messaging, and practical tools available when internet and cellular infrastructure are unavailable.
Does AegisNode require the internet or a subscription?
No. Its core manuals, maps, GPS functions, field tools, and nearby LoRa messaging are designed to work locally without cloud access or a subscription.
What hardware does AegisNode support?
The shared firmware supports the color LILYGO T-Deck Plus and the low-refresh e-ink T-Deck Pro through hardware-specific display and input layers.
Is AegisNode available to buy?
AegisNode is currently in active development, with working firmware on two devices. You can join the project update list for hardware, firmware, and field-testing milestones.
