Coverage where there isn't any.
ShepardMesh blankets your entire property in a self-healing GPS mesh network — tracking vehicles, equipment, and guests in real time across terrain where cellular and satellite go dark. No towers. No wifi. No per-device data plan.
Where the signal stops, the liability starts.
Outdoor recreation properties are exactly the places connectivity fails — back nine, far moorings, deep trails, the lift line at the top of the ridge. The tools meant to keep track of people and equipment quietly stop working at the property line.
Dead zones are the rule, not the exception
Cellular GPS trackers report nothing the moment a vehicle or guest leaves coverage — which on most properties is most of the property.
Coverage you pay for by the device, forever
Satellite messengers work off-grid but bill a subscription per unit and update slowly. Fielding a hundred of them is a budget line, not a system.
Voice tells you who. Not where
Handheld radios connect crews but can't show a position, a track, or a zone breach. When seconds count, "what's your twenty?" is not a location.
Every node makes the network stronger.
ShepardMesh is a hardware-and-software system. Each unit is a GPS receiver and a long-range LoRa radio. Units relay each other's packets, so a handful of nodes cover ground no single transmitter could reach.
Deploy nodes
Quick-mount a unit to each vehicle, equipment item, or patrol — and a few fixed nodes as anchors. No trenching, no towers, no site survey.
The mesh self-heals
Nodes discover neighbors and relay position packets hop by hop. Lose a node and traffic reroutes automatically. The more you deploy, the further it reaches.
The console shows everything
A gateway node bridges the mesh to the cloud. Your team watches the whole property — live positions, tracks, zones, and alerts — from any browser.
One screen for the whole property.
The Fleet Console turns mesh traffic into situational awareness — built for a watch desk, legible at a glance, and quiet until something needs you.
Live property map
Every node, in real time, on your own site map. Positions, headings, and tracks update as the mesh reports.
Zones & geofences
Draw boundaries — out-of-bounds runs, restricted moorings, closed trails. Get an alert the moment one is crossed.
SOS & man-down alerts
A node can trigger help with one press, or on impact. The console flags position and routes the nearest responder.
Asset register
Carts, boats, snowcats, tools, kayaks — every tagged item in one inventory, with last-seen position and battery.
Track playback
Replay any node's movement for any window. Reconstruct an incident, settle a dispute, document a response.
Reports & exports
Utilization, coverage, response times, incident logs — exportable for operations reviews and insurance files.
One network. Every kind of property.
The architecture doesn't care what you call your terrain. If it's large, off-grid, and full of moving things you're responsible for, ShepardMesh covers it.
Golf & grounds
Know where every cart, mower, and ranger is across all 18 holes and the back lots — without a single cell repeater.
- Recover carts that wander off-property or off-hours
- Flag lightning-policy zone clears in seconds
- Document grounds-crew response for liability files
Marinas & waterfront
Track tenders, work boats, and rental fleet from the fuel dock to the far mooring field — and across open water with no signal.
- See rental vessels leave and return the basin
- Geofence no-wake and restricted zones
- Trigger and locate an on-water SOS instantly
Parks & land management
Coordinate rangers, maintenance, and response across thousands of acres where coverage is a rumor.
- Maintain situational awareness across backcountry
- Speed search-and-rescue with last-known tracks
- Monitor vehicle access to closed areas
Adventure & ropes parks
Keep eyes on guides and high-element groups spread across a wooded course where radios echo and cell bars vanish.
- Confirm every group is accounted for at close
- Locate a guide's SOS to the exact element
- Track gear and rescue equipment placement
Summer camps & wilderness programs
Account for trip leaders and off-site groups on hikes, paddles, and overnights — far past where the office wifi ends.
- Track each trip group's position and route
- Set safe-return zones and overdue alerts
- Give parents and accreditors a documented record
Ski & mountain operations
Locate patrol, groomers, and snowcats across the whole mountain in weather that takes out everything but the radio.
- Track snowcat and groomer positions overnight
- Speed avalanche and incident response with live tracks
- Monitor out-of-bounds zone crossings
There isn't a like-for-like alternative.
Everything else makes you choose between working off-grid, knowing position, and not paying per device forever. ShepardMesh is the only one that refuses the trade-off.

Quiet until it matters. Unmistakable when it does.
Designed for the watch desk
Dark, dense, and legible at 03:00. The map is the canvas; everything docks around it.
Alerts that earn the interruption
Zone breach, SOS, lost contact, low battery — surfaced as a toast with position, time, and one-tap acknowledge.
Every position, logged
Nothing is thrown away. Replay any track for any window — the record an incident review or insurer asks for.
Up and reporting in a day.
Quick-mount the nodes, place a gateway with a view of the property, open the console. No trenching, no carrier contracts, no IT project. Each unit is about the size of a thick deck of cards and runs for weeks between charges.
A record, not a recollection.
Every position is timestamped and kept. When an incident is reviewed — by your team, a regulator, or an insurer — you produce the track, the response time, and the zone state instead of a statement. Documented diligence is a lower-risk operation.

We'll map a deployment for your site and show you the console with live nodes. No carrier contract, no per-device airtime — just coverage where there wasn't any.
