Beartooth is a company that previously made their money as a communications equipment provider for the military. The military has been (and still is) utilizing off-grid mesh network communications for decades and in fact pioneered its development and evolution. Their applications have demanded and required preventing the enemy from not only listening in, but also preventing position disclosure when transmitting, to prevent counter-battery artillery being sent by the enemy to the radio signal's location of origin.

The U.S. military has many companies providing them with such communications gear, and it is a competitive market. Beartooth, while they were previously one of those providers, are no longer considered the latest and greatest for the Pentagon's purposes and have been replaced by others. Beartooth now makes their off-grid mesh networking communications capability to you.
